| ID | Title | E06095 | The will of Bertram/Bertrand, bishop of Le Mans, of 27 March 616, establishes as the bishop's heirs two churches at Le Mans (north-west Gaul), one dedicated to *Mary (Mother of Christ, S00033), the other to the Apostles *Peter and *Paul (S00036 and S00008), which Bertram himself had built; and makes provisions concerning numerous properties across Gaul, including churches associated with various saints, mostly in or around Le Mans. Written in Latin at Le Mans. | E06301 | Audoin's Latin Life of *Eligius (bishop of Noyon, ob. 660, S02032) is an exceptionally long text, describing the saint's life across two books. 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. Throughout the Life, Audoin stresses his close connections with Eligius. Written in Gaul, possibly in 660/86, with later additions and emendations. |
