Life
Paulinus was born at Bordeaux in the fourth century to a wealthy Roman senatorial family and held public office before he and his wife embraced an ascetic Christian life, giving away their fortune. Ordained a priest, he settled at Nola in Campania and later became its bishop. His letters and poems, exchanged with figures such as Augustine and Jerome, are treasured witnesses of early Christian faith.
