He wrote, against Victor of Aquitaine, *De cyclo paschali* of which only the beginning is preserved in the Venerable Bede, *Rat. temp.*, 51 (C. W. Jones, *Bedae opera de temporibus*, Cambridge 1943, pp. 272 ff.). He may have translated a commentary with scholia by Greek Fathers (Polycarp, Origen, Basil, Didymus, Severian; ed. J. B. Pitra, *Spicilegium Solesmense*, I, Paris 1852, p. 206). Attributed to him are: *Reticulus sive de arca Noe* (ibid., p. 287), *Capitula de resurrectione Domini*, not preserved, and a *Gloss* on the Epistle to the Romans (see G. Morin, in *Rev. bénéd.*, 27 [1940], pp. 114 ff.). His name is especially linked to the *Codex Fuldensis*, which St. Boniface brought to Germany. This is a Latin harmony of the Gospels, based on that of Tatian (written ca. 545) and the other books of the New Testament. The *Capitulare* (lectionary) of the *Codex Fuldensis* is also attributed to V. (cf. T. Klauser, *Das römische Capitulare Evangeliorum*, I, Münster in V. 1935, p. xxxi).
