Gregory of Tours: History and Society in the Sixth Century

前表紙
Cambridge University Press, 2001/07/05 - 235 ページ
"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, one can clearly see the often antithetical connections between apparently unconnected, adjacent chapters, and also begin to make out their function within a universal, Christological concept of history. Gregory's historiographical interests can be seen as focusing on the development of a socio-political concept of society, one which wishes to see the leadership of the Christian state entrusted to joint government of bishops and king (christianus princeps)."--BOOK JACKET.
