Medardus

Medardus, bishop of Vermandois / Noyon (ca 470-560). Though his cult has not spread widely in the Low Countries, he was patron saint of the Medarduskerk in Wessem (Nederlands Limburg).
Feast: June 8th

Chants

Among the Rijksarchief Limburg fragments is one leaf of a 14th century (?) antiphoner, containing chants of a Medardus office, notated in Hufnagelschrift, and originating probably from Medarduskerk in Wessem.

The antiphon Medere sancte Medarde (?) in is NL-M Jägers 523, p. 150.
