E08277The Latin Life of *Fulgentius (bishop of Ruspe, ob. 533, S02975) recounts his early life and monastic activity, his election to the see of Ruspe (central North Africa), his exile to Sardinia, and his eventual return and death in Ruspe; during his lifetime Ruspe is protected from the Moors, but not after his death. Written in central North Africa, possibly by the deacon Ferrandus, not long after the death of Fulgentius in 533. Overview entry
