Life

Adulfus of Córdoba (Adolphe) was a Mozarab Christian who lived in Spain and was one of the martyrs of Córdoba at the beginning of the reign of Abd al-⁠Rahman, under Arab rule. He is venerated in the Western Church and commemorated on 27 September.

The surviving sources say very little: he was a Mozarab, that is, a Christian living under Muslim rule, and received the crown of martyrdom at Córdoba. No other deeds of his are known. The year of his passion is not given with certainty in the sources at hand.

The source being thin, this note stops here.

Commemorated the same day September 27
