| ID | Title | E05852 | The Calendar of Willibrord, in its earliest version, records the feasts of various saints in February. Written in Latin at Echternach, Frisia (north-east Gaul), 703/710. | E06269 | Two fragments of the now-lost Latin oldest Life of *Amandus (missionary, monastic founder and bishop of Maastricht, ob. c. 675, S00735) survive in a single 8th-c. manuscript. These describe Amandus' first pilgrimage to Rome, where he visited amongst others the church of *Peter (the Apostle, S00030), whom he saw in a vision; and where he also collected relics to bring back to Gaul. Later, when Amandus was caught in a storm at sea following a second visit, Peter appeared to him again. Written in Gaul, c. 675/750. | E08077 | Six relic labels at the monastery of Saint-Maurice d'Agaune (south-east Gaul), datable by their script to the 2nd half of the 7th c., for relics of various saints. Written in Latin, either where the relics originated, or at Saint-Maurice d'Agaune. | E08315 | 35 relic labels at Sens (northern Gaul), datable by their script to the 7th or 8th c., for relics of a great diversity of saints. Written in Latin, perhaps at Sens, or at an earlier stage in their transmission. |
