Works of the (probably) North African Christian writer Fabius Planciades Fulgentius (late 5th ? early 6th century), also containing (p.367-388) 'D. Amedei episcopi Lausanensis De laudibus gloriosae Virginis Mariae. Perelegantes homiliae.'. Debate continues as to whether or not Fabius Planciades Fulgentius and his contemporary, Saint Fulgentius of Ruspe (a Christian bishop) were the same person.
