| ID | Title | E05038 | The 6th/7th c. recension of the Latin Martyrologium Hieronymianum, as transmitted in 8th c. manuscripts, records the feasts of a number of saints on 1 December. | E06275 | The Latin Life of *Audoin, Bishop of Rouen (also known as Dado, ob. 686, S02199) records the saint's life, death, translation and miracles, as well as his journeys to Rome and Cologne to collect the relics of other (unnamed) saints. Written in Gaul, probably in Neustria (northern Gaul/Francia), c. 700. | 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. | E08315 | 35 relic labels at Sens (northern Gaul), datable by their script to the 7th or 8th century, for relics of a great diversity of saints. Written in Latin, perhaps at Sens, or at an earlier stage in their transmission. |
