MENOLOGY, MENOLOGUM, (from men, month, and logos, discourse), in much the same as martyrology, or calendar, in the Latin.
The Greek menologium is divided into the several months in the year; and contains an abridgement of the lives of the saints, with a bare commemoration of the names of such whose lives were never written. The Greeks have various menologies; and the Romans tax them with inserting divers heretics in their menologies as saints.—Baillet treats of them at large.
