| ID | Title | E02349 | Ennodius of Pavia writes the Life of *Epiphanius (bishop of Pavia, ob. 496, S01209). It describes the life of Epiphanius, from infancy to his accession to the bishopric of Ticinum/Pavia, his death in the same city, and burial; it particularly emphasises his impeccable way of life, his constant care for the people of his city, and his leading role in political embassies. In one passage, a barbarian king compares Epiphanius to *Laurence (deacon and martyr of Rome, S00037). Written in Latin, probably in Pavia between 501 and 504. |
