Andreas Agnellus of Ravenna (c. 794/799 – after 846) was a historian of the bishops in his city.[1] The date of his death is not recorded, although his history mentions the death of archbishop George of Ravenna in 846; Oswald Holder-Egger cites a papyrus charter dated to either 854 or 869 that contains the name of a priest named Andreas of the Church of Ravenna, but there is no evidence to connect him with Andreas Agnellus.[2]
