Cuthwine was known to Bede and is known to have travelled to Rome, returning with a number of illuminated manuscripts, including Life and Labours of Saint Paul: his library also included Prosper Tiro's Epigrammata and Sedulius' Carmen Pachale.
Coelius Sedulius (nomen also as Caelius), early 5th century AD
There is internal evidence that the anonymous author made use of Virgil, Horace, Lucan, Ovid, Sedulius, Venantius Fortunatus and the anonymous Poeta Saxo, and that he was familiar with the imperial court.
