Information About

Ado Archbishop




Ado's chronicle is based on that of Bede , with which he combines extracts from the ordinary sources, forming the whole into a consecutive narrative founded on the conception of the unity of the Roman Empire , which he traces in the succession of the emperors, Charlemagne and his heirs following immediately after Constantine VI and Irene . "It is," says Wattenbach , "history from the point of view of authority and preconceived opinion, which exclude any independent judgment of events."

Ado wrote also a book on the Miracle s ('' Miracula '') of St. Bernard , archbishop of Vienne ( 9th Century ), published in the Bollandist '' Acta Sanctorum ''; a life or ''Martyrium'' of St. Desiderius , Bishop of Vienne (d. 608 )Written about 870 and published in Migne, cxxiii, pp. 435-442.; and a life of St. Theudericus , Abbot of Vienne (563)Published in Mabillon , ''Acta Sanct.'' i, pp. 678-681, Migne, cxxiii, pp. 443-450, and revised in the Bollandist ''Acta Sanctorum'', 29 October , xii, pp. 840-843..
