ADELMUS.

ADELMUS, Abbot of Malmesbury in England, wrote also a Book concerning Easter, against the custom of the Britains, and a Book of Virginity in Prose and Verse. We * 1.1 have yet this last Work. That in Prose was Printed by Sonnius in 1576, and inserted in the Bibl. Patrum, that in Verse was Published by Canisius in 1608. In this Tract he gives an Encomium of many Holy Persons, whose Life he describeth.

This Saint is believed to be he, who was Bishop of Sherborn, who had made a Book of Problems in Verse, in imitation of Symposius, of about a Thousand Verses. But Sigebert, who speaks of these Two Authors, in Two different Chapters, seems to distinguish them. One must not look for Politeness in the Works of this English Man.
