- Title
"Written on the Parchment of the Heart": Memory, Writing, and Pastoral Care in the Prose Lives of Venantius Fortunatus.
- Authors
NAVALESI, KENT
- Abstract
The article discusses the hagiographies written by sixth century poet and bishop Venatius Fortunatus, including those of St. Albinus, St. Marcellus, and St. Germanus. It considers how the prose works were created with an acknowledgement that the works would be read aloud on Saints' days and at other religious rhetorical performances. It also considers church pastoral care and aspects of memory in the early Middle Ages in Gaul.
