The Letters and the Life of Aemilian

Braulio of Zaragoza · c. 590 – 651

Forty-four letters, including the exchange in which Braulio spends years nagging Isidore for the finished Etymologies and finally receives it unrevised, with a note asking him to correct it. The life of Aemilian describes a hermit of the Rioja hills.
