ID | Title | E03237 | The Latin Life of *Gaudentius (bishop of Novara, ob. 417, S01531) narrates Gaudentius’ association with *Laurentius (priest and martyr of Novara, S02438), *Martin (ascetic and bishop of Tours, S00050), *Eusebius (bishop of Vercelli, S01219) and *Ambrose (bishop of Milan, S00490); his miracles, appointment as bishop of Novara (northern Italy) and incomplete building of a basilica; after his death, the miracles performed by his uncorrupt body on display in the church of the mother of God (*Mary, mother of Christ, S00033), then in a tomb in the finished basilica. Written presumably in Novara, at an uncertain date, perhaps in the late 7th or early 8th c., and by the 9th c. at the latest. |
