Eugenius II of Toledo · d. 657
About a hundred short poems by a reluctant bishop who complains in verse about his own bad health, the noise of the world, and being dragged from a quiet monastery to run the Spanish church — alongside epitaphs, prayers, and a poem on the nightingale.

c. 785–799
Latin
Elipandus of Toledo · c. 717 – c. 800
The archbishop of Toledo, under Muslim rule, argues that Christ as man is Son of God by adoption rather than by nature — using liturgical language his own Spanish books had used for centuries — and turns furiously on Beatus for saying otherwise.
