He lived about the end of the: 7th century or the beginning of the 8th. He was a diligent student of the fathers, and by his scholarly habits acquired the title of "Grammarian." He made extracts and compiled a book entitled Scintillaruni, seu Sententiarum Catholicorum Patrum. The work is divided into eighty chapters, and treats of the principal Christian virtues. It has appeared, according to Possevin, in three editions: Antwerp, 1550; Venice, 1552; Cologne, 1554.
