Documenter une enquête suscitée par la mort violente d’un archevêque alexandrin (457). Quelques considérations sur la collectio Sangermanensis

Abstract

The collection of Saint-Germain-des-Prés (Sangermanensis) gathers a documentation that articulates sensitivity regarding special Alexandrian events and universal communion. Like the Tripartita or the Institutiones, but by other ways, it thus marks a dull disapproval of Constantinople II council. Better yet, probably Sangermanensis has many to share with Cassiodorus’ Vivarium, where an effort to transpose the classical culture in the Judeo-Christian thought structure was engaged, at a moment in which the dialectic paradigmatic between Empire and Church so often reflected, for other times by prof. Marie-Françoise Baslez, inaugurated a new period.
