E08349Venantius Fortunatus writes the Life of *Martin (ascetic and bishop of Tours, ob. 397, S00050). It is an adaptation in epic verse of the Life of Martin and of books 2 and 3 of the Dialogues of Sulpicius Severus; in a final envoi, the book travels from Poitiers to Fortunatus' home city of Ravenna, stopping at the shrines of many saints along the way. Written in Latin, in Poitiers (western Gaul), between 573 and 576. Overview entry.
E08489Venantius Fortunatus, at the end of his verse Life of St Martin (4.663-7), sends the personified book on a pilgrimage, from Poitiers to the poet's home city of Ravenna, venerating various saints along the way; its eighth such stop is at Concordia (northern Italy) and *Augustinus and Basilius (possibly saints of Concordia, S03029); it is then to proceed to Treviso to meet Felix, whose sight, like that of Fortunatus, had once been cured by *Martin (ascetic and bishop of Tours, ob. 397, S00050). Written in Latin in Poitiers (north-west Gaul), 573/576.
