Chapter LXXX.
Musaeus,2712
presbyter of the
church at Marseilles, a man learned in Divine Scriptures and most
accurate in their interpretation, as well as master of an excellent
scholastic style, on the request of Saint Venerius the bishop, selected
from Holy Scriptures passages suited to the various feast days of the
year, also passages from the Psalms for responses suited to the season,
and the passages for reading. The readers in the church found this work
of the greatest value, in that it saved them trouble and anxiety in the
selection of passages, and was useful for the instruction of the people
as well as for the dignity of the service. He also addressed to Saint

and thanksgiving for his benefits. By this work we know him to have
been a man of strong intelligence and chaste eloquence. He is said to
have also delivered homilies, which are, as I know, valued by pious
men, but which I have not read. He died in the reign of Leo and
