1. Neither will I pass over in silence, which I have learned from the story of the Presbyter Sanctulus from the same region [Norcia as we learn in III.37, see [269]]. You [deacon Peter, Gregrory's interlocutor] do not doubt his words, as you are well aware of his life and faith.

Gregory the Great wrote his Dialogues between 593 and 594 in Rome when he was the Bishop of this city. They were written in order to present lives and miracles of Italian saints, many of them contemporary to Gregory, and the greatest of them, saint Benedict of Nurcia. The Dialogues are divided into four books in which Gregory tells the stories of various saints to Peter, who was a deacon and a friend of Gregory, and is also known from the Gregory`s private correspondence.
