About this book
The book gathers letters of S. Ambrose, Bishop of Milan. Letter XXII, dated A.D. 386, recounts to the writer’s sister the discovery of the relics of Gervasius and Protasius.
Letters V and VI are headed “Ambrose to Syagrius”, and a bracketed note says they will be printed at the end of the volume, on account of their subject, in the original Latin. One letter says that plenteous is the harvest of Christ, but the labourers few, and helpers are difficult to be found. Letter LXV, addressed to Simplicianus, contains a mystical explanation of the statement in Exodus xxiv. 6. that Moses put half the blood of the sacrifices into basons and poured half on the altar. The text says that Samson, approved by such signal tokens from above, turned his thoughts as soon as he grew up to marriage.
