As with many poets and thinkers of his day, the only information available has been deduced from the analysis of primary texts, namely his epigrams in A Latin Poet Among the Vandals. While his birth and death dates are unknown, it is clear that Luxorius was alive and writing during the last years of the Vandal occupation of Carthage, North Africa.

“The light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is the palest light of all.... I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it.
