A fragment of the Passio Alexandri papae et sociorum (BHL 266; AASS, Mai, I, p. 371-375) has recently been found in a Venetian binding from the first quarter of the sixteenth century, of a volume which is one of several books and manuscripts, mostly liturgical, that were discovered in the Parisian church of Saint-Étienne du Mont, on deposit at the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève since 2007. It is the central bifolium of a quire and has eight columns, which present nearly half the complete text of the Passion. The fragment comes from a passionary probably copied in the eleventh century in northern Italy.
