Das sechste Jahrhundert in Gallien war eine Zeit des Übergangs, geprägt durch Transformationsprozesse unterschiedlichster Art und Geschwindigkeit in allen Lebensbereichen. Die vorliegende Arbeit stellt mit der Sehkraft einen sehr speziellen alltagsgeschichtlichen Aspekt der menschlichen Lebensqualität in den Mittelpunkt. Hierzu werden die überlieferten hagiographischen und historiographischen Texte des fränkischen Bischofs Gregor von Tours unter der Fragestellung, welchen Stellenwert Sehkraft, Augenleiden und Augenwunder hatten, ausgewertet. Gerade Gregor bietet sich für eine derartige Untersuchung an, da sich in seiner Person die kulturelle Fragmentierung im zeitgenössischen Gallien wiederspiegelt. Als Mitglied einer Senatorenfamilie und Bischof von Tours, war er dem spätrömisch-christlichen Erbe verbunden und gleichzeitig ein hoher Funktionsträger des Merowingerreiches. Als Hagiograph und Historiograph konnte er die Sehkraft - wie kaum ein anderer Autor jener Zeit - sowohl von geistlicher, als auch von weltlicher Seite beleuchten. Die bemerkenswerte Verteilung von Augenwundern im hagiographischen Werk Gregors wird unter kultpropagandistischen Gesichtspunkten besonders gewürdigt. Die Untersuchung möchte einen Beitrag zur Hagiographie des Merowingerreiches leisten, aber auch feststellen, wie sich die Texte eines bedeutenden gallorömischen Klerikers ganz allgemein in eine "Kulturgeschichte des Sehens" oder generell in das Forschungsfeld der "body history", einfügen. Hierfür werden als Vergleichsquellen zeitgenössische Rechtsnormen und medizinische Quellen zum Thema Blendung und Augenleiden herangezogen. Auch die Erkenntnisse der Ikonographie finden gebührende Beachtung. Um die spezielle hagiographische Bedeutung der Augenwunder für Gregor von Tours richtig einordnen zu können, werden miracula anderer Autoren, ausgehend von der griechischen Antike, über eine Vita der spezialisierten Augenheiligen Odilia, bis hin zur byzantinischen Hagiographie herangezogen.

Gregory of Tours, the sixth-century Merovingian bishop, composed extensive historiographical and hagiographical corpora during the twenty years of his episcopacy in Tours. These works serve as important sources for the cultural, social, political and religious history of Merovingian Gaul. This book focuses on Gregory?s hagiographical collections, especially the Glory of the Martyrs, Glory of the Confessors, and Life of the Fathers, which contain accounts of saints and their miracles from across the Mediterranean world. It analyses these accounts from literary and historical perspectives, examining them through the lens of relations between the Merovingians and their Mediterranean counterparts, and contextualizing them within the identity crisis that followed the disintegration of the Roman world. This approach leads to groundbreaking conclusions about Gregory?s hagiographies, which this study argues were designed as an ?ecclesiastical history? (of the Merovingian Church) that enabled him to craft a specific Gallo-Christian identity for his audience.00Tamar Rotman specializes in late antique and early medieval history. Her research focuses on the role of hagiography and the cults of saints in the identity discourse of the early Middle Ages, giving special attention to the transmission of knowledge and cultural practices in the Mediterranean sphere. She is a visiting scholar at Columbia University and a Fulbright and a Rothchild post-doctoral fellow.

For over 1400 years the Histories of Gregory of Tours (538-594) - the principal work of Merovingian history - have been understood as a 'history of the Franks' and as an objective portrayal of history, albeit told by a naive narrator succeeding only in chronological organisation. A completely new interpretation of the Histories is put forward in this book, in which the bishop of Tours can be seen to be giving each of his 'Ten Books' a self-contained topic, and also making use of the patristic method of typological biblical exegesis. By appreciating these elements, we can see clear connections between apparently unconnected, adjacent chapters, and to make out their real function. Gregory's historiographical interests can be seen as focusing on the development of a socio-political concept of society, which wishes to see the leadership of the Christian state entrusted to the joint government of bishops and king (christianus princeps).
