Quote from Letter 5,53 to leander, bishop in Spain. July 595
Since you love me greatly you can read in the tables of your heart with what eagerness I am longing to see you. But because I cannot see you seperated as you are by a long stretch of territory, I have done ne thing that my love for you dictated, that is to send ove to your Holiness the book of Pastoral Rule, which I wrote at the beginning of my episcopate, and the books which you already knew i had written on the Exposition of the blessed Job, after the arrivel here of our joint son, the priest Pr0binus.
