About the source:
Author: Aetherius of Lyon Title: Life of Bishop Nicetius of Lyon, Vita Nicetii Episcopi Lugdunensis Origin: Lyon (Gaul) Denomination: Catholic/Nicene/Chalcedonian
The Life was written by Aetherius, bishop of Lyon (586/9-602), as is explicitly stated in the text (ch.17). Aetherius promoted the cult of Nicetius, one of his predecessors, in Lyon. As stated in the Life (ch.17), he considered his own promotion to the bishop`s see as the miraculous intervention of Nicetius. The Life was edited by Bruno Krusch in the Monumenta Germaniae Historica on the basis of one 10th-century manuscript and a transcript of a second, now lost manuscript of unknown dating (Krusch 1896: 521).
