St Gregory of Tours, tr. Dalton, 1927
Book 5, 7. Of Senoch, the Recluse
I desire also to record the names and good deserts of those men who in this year were called by the Lord. For they, I deem, are great and acceptable to God who for their merit are taken from this our earth and placed in His paradise. The blessed Senoch the priest, who dwelt near Tours, thus passed away out of the world. Of the Theifali by birth, he entered the Church in the diocese of Tours, and withdrew to a cell which he himself had constructed among the walls of ancient buildings. There he gathered to him monks, and restored an oratory which had long been ruined. He performed many miracles for the sick, which I have recounted in the book of his Life.1
