Ildefonsus

Ildefonsus
(c. 607–67)
   Archbishop, Devotional Writer, Historian and Saint.
   As a young man, lldefonsus may have been a pupil of isidore of seville. He entered the Benedictine monastery of Agalia, Spain, and rose to be its Abbot. Then in 657 he was consecrated Archbishop of Toledo. He was a prolific writer and his surviving works include De Virginitate S. Mariae, two devotional works, Annotationes de Cognitione Baptismi and De Itinere Deserti quo Pergitur Post Baptismum, and an important history De Viris Illustribus. He was devoted to the cult of the Blessed Virgin Mary and he is often portrayed being presented with the chasuble by the Virgin herself.
