Biography

任孝恭,临淮临淮人。
梁书卷五十 列传第四十四 文学下:
  任孝恭,字孝恭,临淮临淮人也。曾祖农夫,宋南豫州刺史。孝恭幼孤,事母以孝闻。精力勤学,家贫无书,常崎岖从人假借。每读一遍,讽诵略无所遗。外祖丘它,与高祖有旧,高祖闻其有才学,召入西省撰史。初为奉朝请,进直寿光省,为司文侍郎,俄兼中书通事舍人。敕遣制《建陵寺刹下铭》,又启撰高祖集序文,并富丽,自是专掌公家笔翰。孝恭为文敏速,受诏立成,若不留意,每奏,高祖辄称善,累赐金帛。孝恭少从萧寺云法师读经论,明佛理,至是,蔬食持戒,信受甚笃。而性颇自伐,以才能尚人,于时辈中多有忽略,世以此少之。
  太清二年,侯景寇逼,孝恭启募兵,隶萧正德,屯南岸。及贼至,正德举众入贼,孝恭还赴台,台门已闭,因奔入东府,寻为贼所攻,城陷见害。文集行于世。
