St. Ambrose e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. There is a commotion in the house of Ambrosius, the Christian Prefect of the Gauls - lord lieutenant, as we should say, Of France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, and Great Britain. Whether the house is at Treves, or Arles, or Lyons, it is impossible to gather from the records we possess. But, wherever it is, the Prefect is told that he is the father of a third child and a second son, and decides that the infant shall bear his own name, Ambrosius, the Immortal, a poetical equivalent of Athanasius, the Deathless.
