Eugippius was a sixth-century abbot and hagiographer who lived in Naples. A disciple of Saint Severinus of Noricum, he is most famous for documenting the life of his mentor. Following the death of Severinus in 482, he moved the saint's remains to Naples, where he established a monastery on the site of a former Roman villa. His scholarly contributions include a massive anthology of the writings of Saint Augustine and various other academic works.
