This essay examines a ninth-century collection of excerpts from Suetonius’s Lives of the Caesars compiled by Heiric of Auxerre (841–c.880), a monk, when he was a student of Abbot Lupus of Ferrières (c.805–c.862). Heiric later in his life presented the notes to Bishop Hildebold of Soissons (871–884). After reviewing the relationship between Christian learning and the pagan classics, the essay analyzes the Suetonian excerpts to determine why they were important to their monastic compilers and readers
