Ægidius Atheniénsis, regiæ stirpis, a prima ætate divinis litteris et caritátis officiis ita
|
||||
déditus fuit, ut nihil præterea curare viderétur. Itaque, paréntibus mórtuis, totum
|
||||
patrimónium in páuperes erogávit; quin étiam túnicam exuit, ut ægrotum egentem tégeret, qua
|
||||
ille indútus, statim conváluit. Sed multis deinceps clarior miraculis, timens sui nóminis
|
||||
celebritátem, Arelátem ad beátum Cæsárium contendit. A quo post biennium discédens, secessit
|
||||
in eremum; ubi diutius herbárum radicibus et cervæ lacte, quæ statis ad eum horis veniebat,
|
||||
admirábili sanctitáte vixit. Quæ cerva, insequéntibus quodam die cánibus regiis, cum in
|
||||
antrum Ægidii refugísset, Galliæ regem ímpulit, ut ab eo summis precibus péteret, ut in loco
|
||||
speluncæ monastérium éxstrui paterétur. Cujus administratiónem, flagitante rege, invitus
|
||||
suscépit; eoque munere aliquot annis prudenter piéque gesto, migrávit in cælum.

The holy Abbot Giles was by birth an Athenian, and of Royal lineage. From his youth he
|
||||
showed ever such a love for sacred learning and for works of charity, that he seemed to care
|
||||
for nothing else. When his father and mother were dead, he bestowed his whole inheritance
|
||||
upon the poor. He took off even his own coat, to clothe a poor sick man withal, and the sick
|
||||
man was healed forthwith as soon as he put it on him. As Giles became famous for working
|
||||
miracles, he fled from glory among men, and betook him to Arles, to the company of blessed
|
||||
Caesarius. After the space of two years he departed thence, and went into the desert, for he
|
||||
lived in wonderful holiness for a long while upon the roots of herbs and the milk of an
|
||||
hind, which came to him at regular hours. This hind was chased one day by the King's hounds,
|
||||
and took refuge in Giles's cave. Thereby the King of France was moved earnestly to entreat of
|
||||
him that he would suffer a monastery to be built in the place where this cave was. At the
|
||||
instant desire of the King, he took the rule of this monastery, albeit himself unwilling, and
|
||||
discharged this duty wisely and godly for some years, until he passed away to heaven.
