Book 1 outlines Eligius' career as a goldsmith and courtier, and includes a list of the shrines which he embellished. 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.
