Alcimi Edicii Aviti Viennensis Episcopi Opera Quae Supersunt [French]

By Rudolf Peiper

Book Overview

This volume presents the surviving works of Alcimus Ecdicius Avitus, Bishop of Vienne (c. 450 - c. 518 AD), a significant figure in the history of the Catholic Church in Gaul. Avitus was a Gallo-Roman poet and ecclesiastic. His writings, including letters and theological treatises, provide valuable insights into the religious and political landscape of the late Roman Empire and the early Frankish kingdoms. This collection, carefully compiled and edited, offers scholars and students access to the original texts that illuminate a pivotal period in European history.

Included are his homilies, poems, and correspondence, revealing Avitus's role in shaping Christian doctrine and his engagement with the major intellectual debates of his time. His works are essential for understanding the transition from Roman Gaul to Merovingian France and the development of Christian thought during this formative era. The book is valuable for researchers and anyone interested in late antiquity, early medieval history, and the development of Christian theology.
