| ID | Title | E02348 | Ennodius of Pavia writes the Life of *Antonius (monk of northern Italy and Lérins, S01208), ostensibly at the request of abbot Leontius. It narrates Antonius' life, emphasising his early extreme ascetic endeavours, before finally choosing cenobitism as the best form of monasticism, and entering the community of Lérins (southern France), where he becomes a leading figure and eventually dies. Written in Latin, probably in Pavia (northern Italy) between 506 and 521. |
