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 offers an original, nuanced interpretation of Gregory's motives for penning his works, particularly the 'Historiae', which remained unfinished upon the author's death.

Abstract

Gregory of Tours served as bishop of Tours, then a city in the Frankish kingdom, from 563 to 594. Acclaimed by the French as “the father of our history” on account of his History of the Franks, he also wrote stories about holy men and women and about wondrous events he experienced, witnessed, or knew as miracles. In our times many people deny the existence of miracles, while others use the term so loosely that it becomes almost meaningless. Must a true miracle transcend “natural laws”? Gregory’s lively stories relate what he regarded as the visible results of holy power, direct or mediated, and its role in the lives of his contemporaries. His conversational narratives, which are largely without self-conscious stylistic effects, present unique, often moving, glimpses into his world. For Gregory, the frontiers between interior and exterior, God and matter, word or gesture and its referent, remained fluid. Lives and Miracles includes the texts of The Life of the Fathers, The Miracles of the Martyr Julian, and The Miracles of Bishop Martin.
