Paulinus von Nola steht heute im Schatten verschiedener Zeitgenossen, die ihn im Laufe der Jahrhunderte an Bekanntheit überrundet haben. Doch zu Lebzeiten suchten Autoritäten wie Augustinus von Hippo, Ambrosius von Mailand und Hieronymus den Kontakt zu dem gallorömischen Aristokraten, der sich in der zweiten Hälfte des 4. Jahrhunderts zu einem Christentum asketischer Prägung bekehrte, eine vielversprechende Beamtenkarriere abbrach, seine umfangreichen Ländereien verkaufte und nach Nola in Kampanien zog, um dort ein Leben im Dienste Christi zu führen. Paulinus stellt damit eine Schlüsselfigur für das Verständnis der Umbrüche, Transformationen und Kontinuitäten seiner Zeit dar, die mit der reichsweiten Verbreitung des Christentums, dem Aufkommen der Reliquienverehrung und dem Erstarken monastischer Bewegungen die Grundlegung fundamentaler Elemente der europäischen Kultur des Mittelalters und der Neuzeit sah. In Nola lag der heilige Felix bestattet, der dort im 3. Jh. als confessor und Bischof gewirkt hatte. Schon vor Paulinus’ Ankunft hatte sich deshalb eine lokale Heiligenverehrung etabliert. Paulinus baute die Stätte prächtig aus: Er renovierte bestehende Gebäude und errichtete eine neue Basilika; auch Unterkünfte für Pilger wurden eingerichtet. Zusätzlich zu den Gebeinen des heiligen Felix beschaffte Paulinus die Reliquien berühmter Märtyrer. Mit diesen Maßnahmen schuf Paulinus die materiellen Voraussetzungen dafür, aus Nola einen bedeutenden Pilgerort in Italien zu machen. Nun aber musste das Zentrum beworben werden; potenzielle Besucher mussten erfahren, was es bei Paulinus zu sehen und zu erleben gab und weshalb sich eine Reise nach Nola zum heiligen Felix lohnte. Die Dissertation zeigt an einer Vielzahl von Beispielen auf, wie Paulinus in den Briefen an seine christlich-aristokratischen Bekannten die Vorteile und den zu erwartenden (himmlischen) Gewinn eine Pilgerreise nach Nola mit sich brachte. Am Todestag des Felix fand in Nola das Fest zu Ehren des Heiligen statt. Für diesen für ihn wichtigsten Tag im Jahr verfasste Paulinus jährlich ein Natalicium, in dem er aktuelle Wundertaten des Heiligen erzählte und das er vor versammelter Festgemeinde vortrug. Auch diese Gedichte, von denen uns 14 erhalten sind, spielen eine tragende Rolle in Paulinus’ Werbestrategie: Die Dissertation zeigt auf, wie der provinzielle Heilige in ihnen als mächtiger patronus im Dies- und Jenseits konstruiert wird. Diese Facetten der Werbung für das Pilgerzentrum in Nola und seinen endemischen Heiligen werden ergänzt durch Beobachtungen dazu, wie Paulinus sich selbst als Asketen, Dichter und Freund inszeniert und damit auch die eigene Person zum Gegenstand seiner Werbung macht. Dabei wird deutlich, dass Paulinus repräsentativ ist für die theoretische und praktische Etablierung der Heiligenverehrung und des Reliquienkultes und so zusammen mit Gesinnungsgenossen wie Ambrosius von Mailand, Victricius von Rouen und Sulpicius Severus am Anfang einer umfassenden und zukunftsweisenden Bewegung steht, die von der Spätantike über das Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart reicht.

Pontius Meropius Paulinus (ca 353-431), one of the greatest poets of Late Latin Poetry and author of an important correspondence, was born in a wealthy family of the Gallo-Roman aristocracy in Bordeaux. After his spectacular conversion to asceticism and his sacerdotal ordination, he set up definitively as a monk in Italy, in Campanian Nola besides the tomb of St. Felix. There, Paulinus devoted his considerable fortune to the restructuring of the monumental complex which has appeared around this holy place, since the early years of the fourth century and mainly a church. This book is a literary and spiritual study of the description of this complex (carm. 27 and 28 and epist. 32), an other way of edification (the edification of the soul in temple for her creator.) A careful comparison with archaeological testimonies must help estimate the status of Paulinus’monumental descriptions. *** Pontius Meropius Paulinus (vers 353-431), un des plus grands poètes de l’Antiquité tardive, auteur d’une importante correspondance, est issu d’une riche famille de l’aristocratie bordelaise. Après sa conversion spectaculaire à l’ascétisme et son ordination sacerdotale, il vint s’installer définitivement en tant que moine à Nole en Campanie auprès de la tombe de saint Félix. Là Paulin consacra sa fortune considérable à la restructuration du complexe monumental apparu autour de ce saint lieu, depuis les premières années du quatrième siècle, principalement une église. Ce livre est une étude littéraire et spirituelle de la description de ce complexe (carm. 27 et 28; epist. 32), une autre sorte d’édification (celle de l’âme en temple pour son créateur). Une comparaison prudente avec les témoignages archéologiques permettra d’évaluer le statut des descriptions monumentales de Paulin.

After centuries of near silence, Latin poetry underwent a renaissance in the late fourth and fifth centuries CE evidenced in the works of key figures such as Ausonius, Claudian, Prudentius, and Paulinus of Nola. This period of resurgence marked a milestone in the reception of the classics of late Republican and early imperial poetry. In Classicism and Christianity in Late Antique Latin Poetry, Philip Hardie explores the ways in which poets writing on non-Christian and Christian subjects used the classical traditions of Latin poetry to construct their relationship with Rome's imperial past and present, and with the by now not-so-new belief system of the state religion, Christianity. The book pays particular attention to the themes of concord and discord, the ";cosmic sense"; of late antiquity, novelty and renouatio, paradox and miracle, and allegory. It is also a contribution to the ongoing discussion of whether there is an identifiably late antique poetics and a late antique practice of intertextuality. Not since Michael Robert's classic The Jeweled Style has a single book had so much to teach about the enduring power of Latin poetry in late antiquity.

Saints' cults, with their focus on miraculous healings and pilgrimages, were not only a distinctive feature of Christian religion in fifth-and sixth-century Gaul but also a vital force in political and social life. Here Raymond Van Dam uses accounts of miracles performed by SS. Martin, Julian, and Hilary to provide a vivid and comprehensive depiction of some of the most influential saints' cults. Viewed within the context of ongoing tensions between paganism and Christianity and between Frankish kings and bishops, these cults tell much about the struggle for authority, the forming of communities, and the concept of sin and redemption in late Roman Gaul. Van Dam begins by describing the origins of the three cults, and discusses the career of Bishop Gregory of Tours, who benefited from the support of various patron saints and in turn promoted their cults. He then treats the political and religious dimensions of healing miracles--including their relation to Catholic theology and their use by bishops to challenge royal authority--and of pilgrimages to saints' shrines. The miracle stories, collected mainly by Gregory of Tours, appear in their first complete English translations.
