Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Venantius Honorius Clementianus Fortunatus (c. 530-c. 600 / 609) was a Latin poet and hymnodist, and a Bishop of the early Catholic Church. He was canonised and is also known as Saint Venantius Fortunatus. Venantius Fortunatus was born in northern Italy somewhere between Valdobbiadene, Ceneda, and Treviso. He grew up during the Byzantine reconquest of Italy and was educated at Ravenna. His later work shows familiarity not only with classical poets such as Virgil, Horace, Ovid, Statius, and Martial, but also with Christian poets, including Arator, Claudian, and Coelius Sedulius.
