Auspicius of Toul
(85 words)

[German version]

Fifth bishop of the city, correspondent of  Sidonius (Epist. 7,10, pre 475). In the epistle to  Arbogastes, comes in Trier, A. praises him for his lineage and noble attitude and warns him of the omnipresent problem of greed. The poetically simple composition (164 iambic dimeters) is an early example of rhythmic hymn stanzas in which the dominating aspect is the accent placed on the words.
