Saint Columbanus Authorities Sources: — Our chief authority for the history of Columbanus is the life of that saint by Jonas , a monk of Bobbio, who, though not himself personally acquainted with Columbanus, wrote what he had heard from the saint's friends and companions.
Jonas was evidently well trained in the school attached to the monastery, and knew the classical poets only too well for the comfort of his readers. Sometimes his sentences are a mere cento of quotations from their works.
But upon the whole he seems to be an honest narrator, though intent, like all the authors of this kind of literature, on magnifying the miraculous achievements of his hero. The letters of Columbanus are quoted from the text given in Monumenta Germaniae Historica. We have also the life of Gallus by Walafrid Strabo ninth century?
In relating the history of the four great duchies, we have travelled far down through the seventh century. We must now retrace our steps to the very beginning of that century, and follow the fortunes of the Lombard kingdom established at Pavia, from the year onwards. It will be remembered that this year witnessed the greatest of King Agilulf's triumphs.
Cremona, Mantua, Brexillum, all surrendered to his generals; the whole valley of the Po became a Lombard possession; the Exarch Smaragdus was forced to conclude peace on terms humiliating to the Empire; the kidnapped daughter of Agilulf, with her husband Gottschalk, was restored to her father; and, most fortunate event, as it seemed, of all, the new dynasty was consolidated by the birth of Theudelinda's son Adalwald, who was baptized according to the Catholic rite by Bishop Secundus of Trient.
