Letters
Epistulae
Written about 582 to 602, perhaps in Carthago Nova (now Cartagena, Spain). The date is disputed or rests on weak evidence.
Three letters: to Pope Gregory the Great on his Pastoral Rule, to the deacon Epiphanius on the soul, and to Bishop Vincent of Ibiza on a false letter from heaven.
