Overview entry. | E00620 | Gregory of Tours, in his Glory of the Martyrs (72), tells how, when the body of *Quintinus (martyr of Saint-Quentin, S00379) was recovered from a river, a blind woman was cured, and how a priest successfully interceded with the saint on behalf of a condemned man who had stolen the priest's horse; all at Saint-Quentin (northern Gaul).

Book 2 tells of his activities as bishop of Noyon, with many miracles, including the discovery of lost saints' bodies; it concludes with his death and solemn burial, and a long list of posthumous miracles.
