| ID | Title | E02448 | Gregory of Tours writes the Glory of the Confessors, in Latin in Tours (north-west Gaul), 587/588. Overview entry. | E02612 | Gregory of Tours, in his Glory of the Confessors (44), gives a brief account of the life of *Severinus (bishop of Bordeaux, early 5th c., S01273), his death and burial, and the adoption of Severinus as the patron of the city; all in Bordeaux (south-west Gaul). Written in Latin in Tours (north-west Gaul), 587/588. | 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. | E07358 | Venantius Fortunatus writes the Life of *Severinus (bishop of Bordeaux, early 5th c., S01273), presenting him as a healer in life and a defender of the city after his death. Written in Latin, probably in Poitiers (western Gaul), 580/588. From the 9th c. onwards, this Life becomes confused with that of *Severinus (bishop of Cologne, early 5th c., S02870). |
