BLESSED JAMES OF TREVISO, PRIEST AND RELIGIOUS
Blessed James of Treviso (Jacobus Tarvisinus), a priest of the Franciscan Order from Treviso (Tarvisium) near Venice, died on September 20, 1225 at Magdeburg (Parthenopolis). Blessed James is listed in Hub. Men.*, as well as in Art. Mart.*, but not in the Franciscan Roman Martyrology*. On April 25, 1239 a translation of his relics took place.
The Bollandists* bring him up again in the appendix to September 20 (VIII. 783), but they note that nothing has yet been found regarding his church veneration, and that Wadding does not give him the title "blessed". (III.343.)
