Honorius Augustodunensis

Dan Sheerin of Notre Dame, also at the Harris Manchester College Summer Research Institute, suggested that I consult the Ascension commentary of Honorius Augustodunensis, a twelfth-century recluse. It's very interesting commentary, available in Vol.172 of the Patrologia Latina, and is one of the very few such items to make a direct correlation between the victory parade of a Roman general, and the Ascension of Christ into heaven. This could definitely be worked into my current research on the Sol Invictus cult and its connection to Ascension thematics.
