The object of the research The object of the research is the ascetic treatise in the form of a letter De laude eremi (“In Praise of the Desert“), written in 428 by Eucherius of Lyons, and its Latin predecessors: the Latin monastic literature, either original or translated from Greek, prior to the composition of De laude eremi. De laude eremi is the first known literary work issued in the environment of the monastery of Lérins, founded around 410 by Honoratus of Arles. This insular monastery very soon developed into the most influential monastic centre of the Southern Gaul. The work of Eucherius represents therefore a recently emerged community and its ideals. The importance of the work is proved by the fact that many of the later Lerinian authors were strongly influenced by Eucherius’ vision of the ascetic model. On the other hand, De laude eremi stands in the already established tradition of the Latin monastic literature which emerged less than a century ago with the first Latin translation of the Vita Antonii. It is therefore worth to regard the work of Eucherius in the light of its literary predecessors, and to try to discern what he owes to earlier authors, and what is proper to his own vision of the monastic model that he passed over to the next generations. Other works of Eucherius are also taken into consideration as far as they help to clarify certain notions or ideas of the author. Other Lerinian writings, however, are not analysed, unless they help to draw certain parallels: on one hand, this would exceed the scope of the present research, and on the other, the early Lerinian literature as a whole has already been object of several monographies.

Who today, however, has ever heard even the name of [the praeses] Datianus, unless he has read the passion of Vincent?’1 As far as Faustus was concerned, Datianus’ appearance in a saint’s life would be his only chance for remembrance.2 The same can be said for nearly all of the people who appear in the works of Sidonius Apollinaris. Late antique Gaul was a busy place.3 A lot was happening: the rise of the Christian church as the most signifi cant social and cultural institution; the creation of barbarian kingdoms cou- pled with the fi nal precipitous decline and end of Roman authority; and a social world that was very much in fl ux, as previously unprivileged social groups gained greater opportunities and means of self-expression.4 The 24 poems, and in particular the 147 letters, of Sidonius offer an unparalleled window on the world of late antique Gaul, and provide readers with a wealth of material about the people who populated it.5 Sidonius was well positioned to gather this kind of information.

  • Rationalising Sexual Morality in Western Christian Discourses, AD 390 – AD 520
    Deviance and Disaster: Rationalising sexual morality in Western Christian discourses, AD 390 – AD 520 Ulriika Vihervalli School of History, Archaeology and Religion Cardiff University Presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April 2017 Abstract This thesis argues that the transition from traditional Roman ideas of sexual behaviour to idealised Christian sexual behaviour was a reactionary process, for which the period from AD 390 to AD 520 offers a crucial key stage. During this era, the Roman West underwent significant socio-political changes, resulting in warfare and violent conflict, which created a pressurised and traumatic environment for people who endured them. In this context, the rhetoric of divine punishment for sinful behaviour was stron gly linked with sexual acts, causing ideas on sexual mores to develop. The thesis highlights three key aspects of these developments. Firstly, warfare necessitated changes in Christian doctrines on marriages and rape, resulting from collective and cultural trauma. Secondly, sexually impure acts of incest and prostitution were defiling to the religious collective yet the consequences of these were negotiated on a case-to-case basis, reflecting adaptation. Thirdly, traditional Roman ideas of polygyny and homosexual acts overrode Christian ideas on the same. After discussing these three aspects, this work offers a revised interpretation of Salvian of Marseilles’s De gubernatione Dei to illuminate the purpose of the sexual polemic contained in his work – a task that no existing scholarship has attempted to undertake. Daily realities and conflicts drove discourses on sexual mores forwards, and this thesis outlines how this occurred in practice, arguing that attitudes to sex were deeply rooted in secular contexts and were reactionary in nature.

    ―Go, Sell Your Possessions, and Give to the Poor . , Follow Me‖: The Significance of the Ideal of Radical Poverty in John Cassian (ca. 360–ca. 435) by Hyun Kee Na A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Emmanuel College and the Historical Department of the Toronto School of Theology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology awarded by the University of St. Michael‘s College © Copyright by Hyun Kee Na 2016 ―Go, Sell Your Possessions, and Give to the Poor . , Follow Me‖: The Significance of the Ideal of Radical Poverty in John Cassian (ca. 360–ca. 435) Hyun Kee Na Doctor of Philosophy in Theology University of St. Michael‘s College 2016 Abstract De institutis and Collationes patrum were written by John Cassian in early fifth- century Gaul. They are traditionally regarded as the documents which introduced the Eastern monastic tradition to the West. The theme of radical poverty is repeated throughout his writings in an intentional way. However, scholarship has paid little attention to this and what it means in Cassian‘s spiritual theology. In this dissertation, I first locate Cassian within the early fifth-century Gallic monastic context. I argue that Cassian‘s emphasis on literal poverty is based on his observation and diagnosis of Gallic monastic practices. Next, I analyze poverty in the writings associated with Antony, Pachomius, and Evagrius who are Cassian‘s major influences. In spite of their differences, they arrive at a similar idea about poverty: radical poverty helps remove avarice and the removal of avarice is necessary for inner purification.

  • Practicing Love of God in Medieval Jerusalem, Gaul and Saxony
    he collection of essays presented in “Devotional Cross-Roads: Practicing Love of God in Medieval Gaul, Jerusalem, and Saxony” investigates test case witnesses of TChristian devotion and patronage from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, set in and between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, as well as Gaul and the regions north of the Alps. Devotional practice and love of God refer to people – mostly from the lay and religious elite –, ideas, copies of texts, images, and material objects, such as relics and reliquaries. The wide geographic borders and time span are used here to illustrate a broad picture composed around questions of worship, identity, reli- gious affiliation and gender. Among the diversity of cases, the studies presented in this volume exemplify recurring themes, which occupied the Christian believer, such as the veneration of the Cross, translation of architecture, pilgrimage and patronage, emergence of iconography and devotional patterns. These essays are representing the research results of the project “Practicing Love of God: Comparing Women’s and Men’s Practice in Medieval Saxony” guided by the art historian Galit Noga-Banai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the histori- an Hedwig Röckelein, Georg-August-University Göttingen. This project was running from 2013 to 2018 within the Niedersachsen-Israeli Program and financed by the State of Lower Saxony.

Dissertation Advisor: Professor Jan Ziolkowski David Wilson Ungvary Verse and Conversion: Poetship, Christianity, and the Transformation of the Roman World, AD 400-700 Abstract This dissertation presents a cultural history of Christian Latin poetic authorship from the late Roman through the post-imperial period. It analyzes the evolution of Latin verse-writing habits, authorial practices, and routines (i.e. “poetship”) within contemporary Christian discourses surrounding spiritual self-formation, self-presentation, and behavior, and in the context of social and political reconfigurations during the period of Roman imperial transition from roughly AD 400 to 700.

  • Sunday After the Feast of All Saints Commemoration of All the Saints Who Have Shone Forth in the Land of France
    Sunday After the Feast of All Saints Commemoration of All the Saints Who Have Shone Forth in the Land of France At Great Vespers After the Introductory Psalm, we chant “Blessed is the man…”, the first antiphon. On “Lord, I have cried…”, 10 stichera: 4 of the Resurrection, in Tone I— Accept Thou our evening prayers, O holy Lord, and grant us remission of sins, as Thou alone art He Who hath shown forth the resurrection in the world. Encircle Sion and embrace it, O ye people, and therein give glory unto Him Who hath risen from the dead; for He is our God, Who hath delivered us from our iniquities. Come, ye people, let us hymn and worship Christ, glorifying His resurrection from the dead; for He is our God, Who hath delivered the world from the deception of the enemy. Make merry, O ye heavens! Trumpet forth, ye foundations of the earth! Cry aloud in gladness, O ye mountains! For, lo! Emmanuel hath nailed our sins to the Cross; He hath slain death, granting us life, having raised up Adam, in that He loveth mankind. And 6 stichera of All Saints of France— In Tone I: Come, ye multitudes of Orthodox, let us hymn our fathers in the Faith: the martyrs, holy hierarchs, hieromartyrs, kings, priests, monks, the nuns, holy women and pious faithful, both known and unknown, who have increased the gift of God. Glorified by His love and radiant examples for us sinners, they intercede for the land of France. Come from the East—from Greece or Rome—or born in the land of France, ye baptized the land of our forebears in your blood, O holy martyrs.
