Lebuinus |
Anglosaxon monk, missionary of the eastern Netherlands (the area of the Franks ank Saxons near the river IJssel). He built a church in Deventer, where he died and was buried ca 775.
Feast: 12 November; translation: 25 June.
Patron of the church of Deventer, and of the Lebuinuskerk of Zoeterwoude.
It is not quite clear whether this saint is the same as Livinus, celebrated on the same day.
A sequentia Lebuine confessorum is found in NL-Uu 413; it is edited (text only) by Moll in Kerkgeschiedenis van Nederland voor de hervorming, deel 1(1864), pp. 527-528 (Moll refers to the old signature 311 of the manuscript) and in AH 13, p. 9. The sequence is also in NL-Uu 407 (fol. 379r). Besides, it is in manuscripts from the Commanderij Jan Baptist in Haarlem, as Lebuinus was patron saint of the Lebuinuskerk in Zoeterwoude served by this convent (NL-Hs 184 C 1). See L. Lockett in TKVNM 53.
An office is in the Zoeterwoude antiphoner NL-Hs 184 C 5 (basically the same as the translation office in NL-Uu 406).
An office for Lebuini Translatio is preserved in NL-Uu 406, fols. 126v-128v.
Lebuinus is not mentioned in Hughes, LMLO.
