Latin acrostic poem attributed to one Columbanus whose name and that of his addressee are spelled out in the first letter of each line. The addressee is a pupil named Hunaldus. In manuscripts, the poem is usually found together with two other quantitive poems attributed to Columbanus, Ad Sethum and less frequently, Columbanus Fidolio fratri suo. If it is Columbanus of Bobbio who is being referred to, his authorship is not usually accepted. It has been suggested instead that a namesake had composed the three poems and scholars have sought to identify him with known Irish expatriates such as Columbanus, abbot of Saint-Trond/Sint-Truiden, and Colmán nepos Cracavist.
