| ID | Title | E05840 | The Calendar of Willibrord, in its earliest version, records the feasts of various saints in January. Written in Latin at Echternach, Frisia (north-east Gaul), 703/710. | 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. | E06495 | Two Latin versions of the Life of *Sulpicius Pius (bishop of Bourges, ob. 646/7, S02436) record the bishop's life, miracles and death. Written almost certainly at Bourges (central Gaul), c. 646/700, probably before c. 670. | E08075 | Three relic labels at the monastery of Saint-Maurice d'Agaune (south-east Gaul), datable by their script to the late 6th/earlier 7th c., for relics of various saints. Written in Latin, either where the relics originated, or at Saint-Maurice d'Agaune. | 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. |
