Abstract

Tout en faisant une large part à la Gaule, l’ouvrage de Grégoire de Tours († 594) à La Gloire des martyrs s’inscrit dans une dimension œcuménique, là où ses autres livres hagiographiques se cantonnent, à de très rares exceptions près, dans les limites bien plus étroites de l’espace gaulois.Grégoire s’est en effet assigné pour tâche de recueillir tout ce qu’il était possible d’apprendre, de son temps, au sujet des martyrs victimes des persécutions et du culte rendu à ces derniers dans les diverses régions du monde. Par son étendue dans l’espace et dans le temps, l’enquête menée par Grégoire pour la préparation de cet ouvrage l’a amené à consulter un certain nombre d’écrits aussi bien qu’à recueillir de nombreux témoignages oraux. L’évêque de Tours livre ici un témoignage essentiel, heureusement complété par celui des Histoires, au sujet du culte des martyrs vénérés en Gaule jusqu’à son époque.

Abstract

Gregory of Tours was a bishop of late antiquity who was famously devoted to promoting the efficacy of saintly powers. In his writings, both historical and hagiographical, Gregory depicted the saints and reprobates of his age. This book analyses Gregory's writings about death and the afterlife, thereby illuminating the bishop's pastoral imperative to save souls and revealing his opinions about the fates of Merovingian royals, among many others he mentions in his voluminous text. The study provides insight into Gallic peoples living at the dawning of the Middle Ages and their hopes and fears about the otherworld. It affords an original, nuanced interpretation of Gregory's motives for penning his works, particularly the Historiae, which remained unfinished upon the author's death.
