Alcimus Ecdicius Avitus, évêque de Vienne entre 490 et 518 est une figure importante de la fin de l'Antiquité tardive. Issu d'une famille de l'aristocratie gallo-romaine, il est un des derniers dépositaires de la culture latine classique dans le royaume burgonde de Gondebaud. Évêque engagé dans la vie politique de son époque comme en témoigne sa correspondance, il a aussi écrit, aux alentours de l'an 500, une épopée biblique « La geste de l'histoire spirituelle » (« De spiritalis historiae gestis »), en cinq chants, inspirés de la Genèse (chants 1-4) et de l'Exode (chant 5). Cette épopée est une glorification du Christ à travers la figure des héros de l'Ancien Testament : Adam (chants 1 à 3), Noé (chant 4) et Moïse (chant 5). Écrite dans un style tout à la fois sobre et précieux, elle s'adresse à un public de lettrés, fin connaisseur de la culture classique. Cette geste christique originale, qui associe la poésie épique classique, l'inspiration de la Bible, la connaissance des écrits patristiques et des poètes chrétiens, est l'une des illustrations les plus réussies de l'osmose de la culture antique et de la spiritualité chrétienne.

This study offers a comprehensive reconsideration of the life and literary works of Paulinus of Nola (ca. 352-431), a Roman senator who renounced his political career and secular lifestyle to become a monk, bishop, impresario of a saint's cult, and prominent Christian poet. Dennis Trout considers all the ancient materials and modern commentary on Paulinus, and also delves into archaeological and historical sources to illuminate the various settings in which we see this late ancient man at work. This vivid historical biography traces Paulinus's intellectual and spiritual journey and at the same time explores many facets of the late ancient Roman world. In addition to filling out the details of Paulinus's life at Nola, Trout looks in depth at Paulinus before his ascetic conversion, providing a new assessment of this formative period to better understand Paulinus's subsequent importance within the influential ascetic and ecclesiastical circles of his age. Trout also highlights Paulinus's place in the swirl of rebellions and heresies of the time, in the pagan revival of the 390s, and especially in the development of a new genre of Christian poetry. And, he examines anew Paulinus's relationships with such figures as Jerome, Rufinus, and Augustine. Trout fully explores the complexity of a figure who has too often been simplified and provides new insights into the kaleidoscopic character of the age in which he lived.
