A new history of ecclesiastical writers containing an account of the authors of the several books of the Old and New Testament, of the lives and writings of the primitive fathers, an abridgement and catalogue of their works ... also a compendious history of the councils, with chronological tables of the whole / written in French by Lewis Ellies du Pin.

An Addition of some other Authors who wrote in the Eleventh Century.

WARMAN, Count of Dilingen, afterwards Monk of Richenaw, and at last Bishop of Con∣stance, * 1.1 wrote the Life of St. Pyrmin. He died A. D. 1034.

INGELRAN, a Monk and afterwards Abbot of St. Riquier, compos'd a Poem, divid∣ed into Four Books, the First of which contains the Life of St. Riquier; the Second and Third a Narrative of the Miracles wrought by him; and the Fourth, an Account of the Translation of his Body to the Abbey that bears his Name. Some part of this Poem is in∣serted in the second Century of the Acts of St. Benedict. This Author likewise wrote cer∣tain Copies of Verses, in Honour of St. Wilfran Arch-bishop of Sens, and died A. D. 1045.

GISLEBERT, a Monk of St. Germain at Auxerre, under the Abbot Winneman, com∣pos'd in the middle of the Century, two Books of the Life of St. Romanus, an Abbot near Auxerre, who is suppos'd to be the same that gave Food to St. Benedict, in the Grot of Su∣biago, of which St. Gregory makes mention in his Dialogues. This Piece is contain'd in the first Benedictin Century by Father Mabillon.

DIODERICUS, a Monk of Hirsfeldt, compos'd in the beginning of this Century, a Treatise concerning the Translation of St. Benedict, which is inserted in the second Part of the fourth Benedictin Century. Trithemius falsely attributes to him the Book of the Trans∣lation of St. Benedict, which belongs to Adalbert a Monk, who died A. C. 853.

ANDREW, a Monk of Fleury, or of St. Benedict on the Loire, wrote in like manner, at the same time, a Treatise of the Miracles of St. Benedict.

JOTSALD, a Monk of Cluny, wrote the Life of St. Odilo his Abbot. Father Mabillon designs to publish it more entire, than it has been hitherto, in his Sixth Benedictin Cen∣tury.

WOLFERUS, a Monk of Altaich, or rather Canon of Hildesheim, left a Relation of the Lives of St. Gonthier the Hermit, and of St. Godehard Bishop of Hildesheim. Some have attributed this Piece to Albuin, by whom it was only Revis'd.

GOTZELIN, a Monk of St. Berthin and afterwards of Canterbury, compos'd an Hi∣story of the Life and Miracles of St. Augustin the Monk, who converted the English Nation to Christianity, with an Account of the Translation of the same Saint, made in his Time. William of Malmesbury extols him as the most famous Writer in England after Bede; espe∣cially in reference to the History of the Saints of this Kingdom, many of whose Lives were written by him.

PETER, a Monk of Maillezais, wrote the History of his Monastery, and dedicated it * 1.3 to Goderan Abbot of the same Convent, who flourish'd, A. D. 1070.
