Dorothea of Caesarea : ウィキペディア英語版 | Dorothea of Caesarea
Saint Dorothy (''Dorothea, Dora''; (イタリア語:Santa Dorotea), (スペイン語:Santa Dorotea); died ca. 311) is a 4th-century virgin martyr who was executed at Caesarea Mazaca. Evidence for her actual historical existence or ''acta'' is very sparse. She is called a martyr of the Diocletianic Persecution, although her death occurred after the resignation of Diocletian himself. She should not be confused with another 4th-century saint, Dorothea of Alexandria. She and Theophilus are mentioned in the Roman Martyrology as martyrs of Caesarea in Cappadocia, with a feast day on 6 February.〔Martyrologium Romanum (Libreria Editrice Vaticana 2001 ISBN 88-209-7210-7)〕 She is thus officially recognized as a saint, but because there is scarcely any non-legendary knowledge about her, she is no longer (since 1969) included in the General Roman Calendar. ==Life==
The earliest record that mentions Dorothea is found in the ''Martyrologium Hieronymianum''. This first record contains only three basic facts: the day of martyrdom, the place where it occurred, and her name and that of Theophilus.〔Joseph Martin Peterson, ''The Dorothea Legend: Its Earliest Records, Middle English Versions, and Influence of Massinger’s "Virgin Martyr"'' (University of Heidelberg, 1910), 13.〕
