ic sea, which had been destroyed by
Attila, and was at that time only a shadow of what it had been, though
famous for a monastery, in which this synod was probably held.[15] It is
long since entirely decayed. St. Paulinus closed a holy life by a happy
death on the 11th of January, in 804, as Madrisius proves.[16] His
festival occurs on this day in the old missal of Aquileia, and in
several German Martyrologies: but it is at present kept at Aquileia,
Friuli, and in some other places, on the 28th of January.[17] See the
life of St. Paulinus of Aquileia, compiled by Nicoletti, {287} with the
notes of Madrisius; and far more accurately by Madrisius himself an
Oratorian of U{}na, who in 1737 published at Venice the works of this
father in folio, illustrated with long notes and dissertations on every
circumstance relating to the history or writings of our saint. See also
Ceillier t. 18, p. 262, and Bollandus ad 11 Januarii.

8. From certain false chronicles, Iamayo and Ceillier (in St. Beatus.
t. 18, p. 364,) relate that Ellpandus revoked his error in a council
which he held at Toledo, and died penitent. Madrisius shows this
circumstance to be uncertain, (Diss. 4, in op. S. Paulini, p. 225,)
and Nicolas Antony of Seville, in his Bibl. Hisp. l. 6, c. 2, n. 42,
has proved the monuments upon which it is founded to be of no
authority. Claudius, bishop of Turin, a disciple of Felix of Urgel,
renewed this heresy in Italy, and denied the veneration due to holy
images, and was refuted by Jonas, bishop of Orleans, and others.
