Another autobiography of the period is De vita propria, by the Italian physician and astrologer Gerolamo Cardano ( 1574 ).

According to Suetonius in his De vita Caesarum ( The Lives of the Twelve Caesars ), written in the first century CE, the emperor Augustus sometimes presented old and exotic coins to friends and courtiers during festivals and other special occasions.

Something was being shown to visitors as a labyrinth at Knossos in the 1st century AD ( Philostratos, De vita Apollonii Tyanei iv. 34 ).

In a clear disagreement with Dante, in 1346 Petrach argued in his De vita solitaria that Pope Celestine V's refusal of the papacy in 1294 was as a virtuous example of solitary life.

In 1346, Petrach declared in his " De vita solitaria " that Celestine's refusal was as a virtuous example of solitary life.

Upon hearing of the defeat, the Emperor Augustus, according to the Roman historian Suetonius in his work De vita Caesarum (" On the Life of the Caesars "), was so shaken by the news that he stood butting his head against the walls of his palace, repeatedly shouting:

* History of Scotland, De origine, moribus, ac rebus gestis Scotiae libri decem, John Leslie

Dudo of Saint-Quentin, in his De moribus et actis primorum Normannorum ducum, tells of a powerful Danish nobleman at loggerheads with the king of Denmark, who had two sons, Gurim and Rollo ; upon his death, Rollo was expelled and Gurim killed.

He started work on the Germania Illustrata with Germania generalis and De origine, situ, moribus et institutis Norimbergae libellus (" Booklet of structure, habits and institutions of Nuremberg ").

In 1647 he published the well-received treatise De vita, moribus, et doctrina Epicuri libri octo.

One later, tenth-century source, Dudo of Saint-Quentin's De moribus et actis primorum Normanniae ducum, records that Rollo forced the Frisians to pay tribute, but this is unlikely.

There is also a story told by Dudo of Saint-Quentin in his De moribus et actis primorum Normanniae ducum of how Reginar Langhals was ransomed by his wife in 880 for all the gold in Hainault, but this is probably a legend.

He was called dux by Dudo of Saint-Quentin, who Richard commissioned to write his De moribus et actis primorum Normanniae ducum ( Concerning the Customs and Deeds of the First Dukes of the Normans ), but this use of the word dux may have been in the context of a war leader and not a title.

In his two sermons " De vitâ et moribus clericorum suorum " Augustine seeks to dispel the suspicions harbored by the faithful of Hippo against the clergy leading a monastic life with him in his episcopal residence.

The teaching concerning religious poverty is clearly formulated in the sermons " De vitâ et moribus clericoreun suorum " and the authorship of these two works is sufficient to earn for the Bishop of Hippo the title of Patriarch of monks and religious.

Monasteries of women or of canonesses were formed on the same plan, but not according to the rules laid down in the sermons " De vitâ et moribus clericorum.

In 1545, he published his last work, the Dialogorum libri, a collection of Latin dialogues, divided into three parts as De patientia, De vita perfecta, and De veritate et mendacio.

He also edited the Ars poetica and Satires of Horace, the Agricola of Tacitus, the romance of Xenophon of Ephesus, and was the author of a history of the Latin poets of the Netherlands ( De vita, doctrina, et facultate Nederlandorum qui carmina latina composuerunt, 1838 ).
