| Summary | "Sancti Hilarii: Epistola Ad Abram Filiam Suam (Circa Finem Anni 558 Missa.)" is a religious epistle attributed to Saint Hilary, written in the late 6th century. This text falls into the category of spiritual writing, functioning as a personal letter from a father to his daughter. It likely addresses themes of virtue, morality, and the importance of spiritual rather than material wealth. In the epistle, Hilary expresses his deep love and concern for his daughter, Abra, lamenting their separation due to his quest for a precious garment and a pearl that he believes will provide her with eternal well-being. He describes the unparalleled beauty and benefits of these items, urging her to reject worldly ornaments and maintain her purity. The letter serves as a poignant reminder of the values of humility and faithfulness, as Hilary encourages Abra to look beyond superficial appearances and cling to the eternal worth of her father's gifts. Throughout the correspondence, he emphasizes the virtues of modesty and fortitude, culminating in a heartfelt plea for her to guard her spiritual state.
