INCIPIT

Cunctarum igitur opifex rerum pervigili sanctos ancilibus munit affectatione, carnis ergastulo adhuc detentos, ad effertas tumidorum derogationes edomandas atque adhaerentum sibi humilium devotionem sublimandam, insertibilibus ob copiam numerositatis illos mirifice glorificat ostentationibus, inmarcessibilibusque extimo in die decorat coronis.

EXPLICIT

Absolutione ergo a fratribus percepta, tanta sibi celeritate aegrotus pristinam persensit divinitus redisse virtutem, quanta nullus vel dicere vel cogitare potest; sicque dum a mentis duritia avaritiae detersit maculam, corporis vivus aeger convaluit, et de cuius prius desperabatur vita, per longa postmodum vixit tempora.

Anonymous: mon. Bronensis (Naso 2153)

EDITING

SIZE

1605 words

CONTEXT

Probably it is an earlier work, preceding the ‘Virtutes’, with which abbot Gérard was not satisfied. Consequently, he requested a monk outside the community of Brogne to write a new version (Misonne 1966).

ABSTRACT

Although this work is often preserved in some manuscipts directly after the 'Virtutes Eugenii Toletani' (NaSo V049), it is not a continuation of the latter. The source comprises four miracles of saint Eugen and ends suddenly without an epilogue.
