Gregory the Great, who corresponded with him, and received from that pope many flattering expressions of esteem and admiration.[3][4]
Eulogius refuted the
Cardinal Baronius says that Gregory wished Eulogius to survive him, recognizing in him the voice of truth.[2]
It has been said that he restored for a brief period to the Church of Alexandria life and youthful vigour.[3]
Besides the above works and a commentary against various sects of Monophysites (
Theodosians, Cainites and Acephali) he left eleven discourses in defence of Pope Leo I and the Council of Chalcedon, also a work against the Agnoetae, submitted by him before publication to Pope Gregory I, who after some observations authorized it unchanged. With exception of one sermon and a few fragments, all the writings of Eulogius have perished.[3]
