Extract
[Honorius of Autun c. 1125, a contemporary and fellow-countryman of Saint Bernard, calls himself ‘ecclesiae presbyter et scholastious’. A seventeenth-century editor of his work ‘Inevitabile’ prefaces it with the following eulogy:
'About the one thousand and eighty-seventh year from the passing of Christ our Saviour from this world to the Father, there flourished in the duchy of Burgundy a certain priest Honorius, worthy indeed to be crowned with glory and honour, and shining among the clergy as a planet among stars.
‘He was deeply versed in the Sacred Scriptures and most learned in secular knowledge; a man deeply erudite, subtle of mind, lucid in speech, one who had attained the rank of Scholasticus in Autun, the former capital and see of that region of Burgundy (Aeduorum), and who showed himself by his works and life to be a true Doctor and Luminary of the Church.
