Libros etiam Dialogorum quatuor fecit, in quibus rogatu Petri diaconi sui, virtutes sanctorum quos in Italia clariores nosse vel audire poterat, ad exemplum vivendi posteris collegit; ut sicut in libris expositionum suarum quibus sit virtutibus insudandum, edocuit, ita etiam descriptis sanctorum miraculis, quae virtutum earundem sit claritas ostenderet.
He made also four books of Dialogues in which, at the request of his deacon Peter, he hath gathered the virtuous deeds of holy men which himself could either know in Italy or hear of for their fame, to the example of good life for posterity: that, like as in his books of expositions he hath thoroughly taught in what virtues a man must labour, so also by describing of holy mens miracles he might shew what the excellency of the same virtues is.
