| ID | Title | E00692 | Sulpicius Severus writes the Life of *Martin (ascetic and bishop of Tours, ob. 397, S00050) in c. 395, before Martin's death, presenting him as an ideal monk, even when a bishop, and as a great miracle-worker and confounder of the devil. Written in Latin at Primuliacum (south-west Gaul). Overview entry. | E00693 | Sulpicius Severus, in his Letter 2, describes a vision he had of *Martin (ascetic and bishop of Tours, ob. 397, S00050) and *Clarus (disciple of Martin, ob. c. 397, S00479), shortly after the former's death, and expresses his belief that Martin attained martyrdom 'without blood' and will be his patron in heaven. Written in Latin in Primuliacum (south-west Gaul), in 397. | E05095 | Paulinus of Nola, in two letters to Sulpicius Severus, of c. 400 and of 401/2 (Letters 23 and 27), describes how both a courier and Severus himself resemble in their behaviour *Martin (ascetic and bishop of Tours, ob. 397, S00050) and *Clarus (disciple of Martin, ob. c. 397, S00479). Paulinus also states that he and the courier wash the hands and feet of others in imitation of Martin. Written in Latin at Nola (southern Italy). | E05104 | Paulinus of Nola, in a long letter to Sulpicius Severus of 403/404 (Letter 32), discusses building-work carried out by Severus at Primuliacum (southern Gaul) and sends proposals for poetic inscriptions at the site; Paulinus also describes his own building-work at Nola/Cimitile and Funda/Fondi (both southern Italy), quoting in full the poems he has written for these churches. Several of these poetic inscriptions refer to the saints venerated at Primuliacum, Nola and Fondi. Written in Latin at Nola. |
