E06301Audoin'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.
