The works of St. Paulinus, Bp. of Nola, are reprinted from the edition of Muratori (Verona, 1736) with the preface to the Paris edition edited by Jean Baptiste Le Brun des Marettes (Paris, 1685)

The works of Claudius Marius Victor are reprinted from the edition of Jean de Gagny (Lyons, 1536) cf. Bardenhewer, Otto. Geschichte der altkirchlichen Literatur. 2. Aufl. Freiburg i. B., 1924. v. 4, p. 639-640.

Poema ultima of St. Paulinus, Bp. of Nola, is also printed in v. 5, col. 261-282, of this series with the title Antonii carmen adversus gentes.

De vita s. Martini libri sex by Paulinus of Périgueux is a collection of poetic paraphrases of the following works: bks. 1-3, of De vita, b. Martini, and bks. 4-5, of Dialogi, both by Sulpicius Severus, printed in their original form in v. 20 of this series; bk. 6. of a lost work of St. Perpetuus, Bp. of Tours. cf. Bardenhewer, Otto.

Of the works here ascribed to one of that name, Enchiridion Veteris et Novi Testamenti is a work by Aurelius Prudentius Clemens, also printed with his works in v. 60, 89-112, of this series with the title Dittochæum, but with variant text for the last 18 verses; Ægyptius Deum Martini invocans, tempestatis periculum effugit is an excerpt (verses 404-425) from Liber IV of De vita s. Martini by Venantius Fortunatus, also printed in v. 88, col. 417-418, of this series; In Leontium episcopum acrostichis is by the same author, and is also printed as Caput XVI of his Miscellanea, Liber I, with the title Hymnus de Leonito episcopo in v. 88, col. 81-82, of this series. cf. Teuffel, W.S. Geschichte der römischen Literatur. 6. Aufl. Berlin, 1913. v. 3, p. 464.

Hymnus is laudem s. Patricii adhuc viventis by Secundinus, cited by title only, is printed after the works of St. Patrick in v. 53, col. 837-840, of this series.

Carmen de laudibus Domini of unknown authorship is also printed in v. 19, col. 379-386, of this series in the Appendix to the works of Juvencus.
