Saints Baronce et
Dizier, ermites
A la fin du VIIème
siècle, après quelques années de mariage, Baronce se retira à l’abbaye de
Saint-Cyran, non loin de Nevers ou de Lorney près de Bourges. Désirant devenir
ermite, il se rendit en Italie à Montalbano en Toscane. En compagnie d'un autre
moine, Dizier, il mena une vie érémitique d'une extrême austérité. Bien que
cachés, ils attirèrent des disciples qui les considérèrent comme des saints, même
de leur vivant.

Barontius (Barontus) & Desiderius, OSB Monks (RM)
Died c. 725. Barontius was a gentleman of Berry who, together with his son,
became a monk at Lonrey in the diocese of Bourges. As a result of a vision, he
asked permission to become a hermit, set out for Italy, and established himself

saintly monk, Desiderius (Attwater2, Benedictines).

The Vision of Barontus, French,
678–79 [Bib.]
The Vision of Barontus
(Visio Baronti Monachi Longoretensis) is an eighth–century Latin prose vision
of heaven and hell approximately 4700 words long. The vision itself is dated 25
March 678 or 679, and the author claims to be the visionary in what is one of
the more fascinating and dramatic visions of the otherworld.
Barontus, a monk in
the monastery of St. Peter at Longoreto (Saint–Cyran near Bourges), who has
repented of his past life and joined a monastery, falls ill. His fellow monks
keep watch over him while his soul has left his body. When he finally recovers,
he is asked to tell of his vision, which he then proceeds to do, explaining how
he was immediately beset by devils who wanted to take him to hell, but he was
protected by the angel Raphael who brought him on a journey through heaven
where he might be judged before the devils made off with him.
Barontus and Raphael
visit four levels of heaven, and Barontus repeatedly meets there people he has
known, especially monks from his monastery, while the devils keep up a constant
tug-of-war for Barontus. Finally Raphael sends another angel to bring St. Peter
to them. Peter arrives and asks the devils what charges they have against this
soul, and they charge Barontus with having three wives. Barontus admits to the
charge, but the devils had by now become so annoying to everyone that Peter
whacks them with his keys and sends them scurrying. He then decides to send
Barontus back to earth via hell, so that Barontus can consider reforming his
life.
Needing a guide,
Frannoaldo is chosen on the condition that Barontus take particular care of
this soul’s tomb near the door of their church. They leave heaven with Barontus
warned to give a certain sum to the poor and to protect himself with the phrase
“Gloria a te, O Dio.” In hell he sees sinners of every kind, all joined
together suffering. Although the terrain of hell is not carefully described,
the souls that Barontus meets who are suffering in hell are mentioned. Finally
Barontus returns to his cell where he speaks with his fellow monks.
The vision closes with a
statement by the author, allegedly Barontus, attesting to the veracity of this
vision.

Santi Baronto (Baronzio) e Desiderio Eremiti
a Pistoia
sec. VII
Martirologio
Romano: Presso Montalbano in Toscana, santi Baronzio e Desiderio, eremiti.
BARONTO (BARONZIO) e
DESIDERIO, eremiti a PISTOIA, santi.
Il Baronio introdusse al 25 marzo, nel Martirologio Romano, la celebrazione di
Baronto e Desiderio, fondandosi su Atti della Chiesa di Pistoia. In questo
testo, redatto da un monaco italiano tra il sec. XI e il XII e pubblicato dai
Bollandisti, Baronto è identificato con l'omonimo monaco di Longoreto, che,
dopo aver compiuto la penitenza impostagli da san Pietro e aver visitato le
tombe degli apostoli, avrebbe deciso di abbracciare la vita eremitica,
fissandosi sul monte Albano, presso Pistoia. Questo racconto, accettato per
molto tempo senza critica alcuna, è però ben poco attendibile, dal momento che,
nella tradizione di Baronto di Longoreto, non si accenna affatto a un viaggio
in Italia del santo. E' sembrato quindi giusto e opportuno scindere le due
figure e le loro vicende, indubbiamente confuse. La fama di santità di un
eremita, di nome Baronto, e stabilitosi sul monte Albano nel corso del sec.
VII, indusse cinque giovani a unirsi a lui nelle penitenze, e tra essi si
distinse per fervore religioso Desiderio. Morto alla fine del sec. VII, Baronto
fu sepolto nell'oratorio, che aveva costruito presso la sua cella, e, sulla sua
tomba che il popolo non aveva mai cessato di venerare, Restaldo, vescovo di
Pistoia (1012-1023), fece erigere un monastero benedettino a lui dedicato. Il
monastero di San Baronto, in cui erano state trasferite le reliquie di Baronto
assieme a quelle di Desiderio e degli altri eremiti, presso cui nel 1107 era
sorto un ospedale, nel sec. XV fu dato in commenda e nel 1577 fu unito alla
abbazia di Santa Maria di Firenze della Congregazione cassinese.

Den hellige Barontius og
Desiderius av Pistoia (d. ~725)
Minnedag: 25.
mars
Den hellige Barontius
(fr: Baronce; it: Baronzio) ble født på 600-tallet i Berry i Frankrike. Han kom
fra en adelsfamilie, men som middelaldrende delte han ut det meste av det han
eide, og sammen med sin sønn trakk han seg tilbake til benediktinerklosteret (Ordo
Sancti Benedicti – OSB) Lonrey i bispedømmet Bourges [kilden Infocatho sier
at han trakk seg tilbake til klosteret Saint-Cyran ikke langt fra Nevers].
Men som et resultat av en
visjon ba han om tillatelse til å bli eremitt, og han dro til Italia, hvor han
etablerte seg i distriktet nær Pistoia [kilden santiebeati.it sier
nær Montalbano i Toscana]. Der levde han et svært asketisk liv sammen med en
annen munk, den hellige Desiderius (fr: Dizier; it: Desiderio), som også æres
som helgen. Selv om de levde isolert, tiltrakk de seg disipler, som betraktet
dem som helgener ennå mens de levde. De døde begge rundt 725. Deres minnedag er
25. mars og deres navn står i Martyrologium Romanum.
