Salomon of Córdoba

Salomon of Córdoba was a martyr in Córdoba, in Muslim-⁠ruled Spain, in the time of the Muslim emirs of the 9th century. The martyrology of Usuard remembers him at Córdoba on 8 February.

Our sources are very brief. The martyrology says only that in the city of Córdoba the martyr Solomon was put to death. The list of the martyrs of Córdoba knows another Solomon, put to death on 13 March 857 together with the priest Rudericus of Cabra: Rudericus was denounced by his Muslim brother as having gone over to Islam and then returned to Christianity, and, held in prison, he met Solomon there; both were executed at Córdoba. It is not certain that this is the same person.

He is a saint of the undivided Church, honored mostly in the West; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is vague.
