Several Letters of divers Bishops.

THese are also Writers almost of the same rank with the former, who have not above a Letter or two, and those found among other Mens Works. Paschasinus Bishop of Liyboeum in Sicily shall be first of them. Bucherius hath published a Letter of his about Easter in the year 445, which is found among S. Leo's Letters in the last Edition, p. 412. Julian, Bishop of Coos, is of the same time; we have only one Letter of his directed to the Empe∣ror Leo, which is at the end of S. Leo's Letters. We have also among the Letters of this Father a great number of Leters directed to him, viz. a Letter of Ceresius, Salonius and Veranus, Bi∣shops of the Province of the Alps, a Letter of the Bishop of Vi••••na to S. Leo; two Letters of the rench Bishops; a Letter of Peter of Ravenna; a Letter of Eusebius, Bishop of Milan, and the Bi∣shops of his Province; three Letters of Flavian, of which we have spoken already; a Letter of Marcian, Theodosius, Placidia, Pulcheria and Leontius; a Letter of Proterius, Bishop of Alexandria, concerning Easter, recited by Bucherius; one of S. Petrus Chrysologus to Eutyches; one of Salonius a French Bishop, and another of his Brother Veranus; a Letter of Turribius to Idacius and Ceponius▪ and the Letter, of Leo, Bishop of Bourges, to the Bishops of the Pro∣vince of Tours. Of all these we have already spoken. To these Letters we must add a Let∣ter of a Bishop, called Rusticus, whose Bishoprick we know not, written to Eucherius, recited by F. Sirmondus, in his Notes upon the 2d. Book of Sidonius's Letters, p. 34. Two Letters of Lupus, Bishop of Troyes, of which one is in the 4th. Tome of the Councils, and the other in the 5th. Tome of M. Luke d' Acherius's Spicilegium; a Letter of Leontius, Bishop of Arles, to Pope Hilarius, in the same place, and in the Appendix of the 4th. Tome of the last Edition of the Councils; and the Testament and Epitaph of Perpetuus Bishop of Tours, in the 5th. Tome of the Spicilegium.
