The Martyrologium Adonis archiepiscopi Viennensis is a script ( Martyrologium ) that was written by Ado von Vienne from around 855. It has been preserved in several versions.

The oldest version was probably made in Lyon and contains a list of Christian martyrs and saints with some brief historical information. A second version also contains information about the Popes , this was written a little later. An additional extension also contains information on regional saints and clerics. These may have been written by another author after 875.

The oldest surviving manuscript contains the second version and is in the Abbey Library of St. Gallen , signature Cod. 454 (ix ex). A manuscript from the St. Emmeram Monastery in Regensburg also contains text passages in Old Church Slavonic.
