Paolo Tomea, « L’immagine e l’ombra di ambrogio nell’agiografia «italiana» dei sec. V-XI », Publications de la Sorbonne, ID : 10.4000/books.psorbonne.29352
Vita Ambrosii BHL 377d is a text composed in Milan during the IXth century. The first section of the article traces its main sources and shows the considerable discrepancy of view between the IXth-cent. author and Paulinus Mediolanensis, the first biographer of the Saint. The second section offers a census of references to St. Ambrose in hagiographical texts written in Italy and devoted to other Saints, explaining the part played by Ambrose and the significance of his figure.
