This comprehensive volume, "S. Georgii Florentini Gregorii Turonensis Episcopi Opera Omnia...", presents the complete works of Gregory of Tours, a prominent 6th-century Gallo-Roman historian and Bishop of Tours, alongside the writings of Fredegar, a later Frankish chronicler. Gregoryâ€(TM)s most famous work, "Historia Francorum" (History of the Franks), provides invaluable insights into the Merovingian Dynasty, the lives of saints, and the social and political landscape of early medieval Gaul.
This collection offers historians and scholars an unparalleled resource for understanding the period, encompassing Gregory's hagiographical accounts, such as "De Gloria Martyrum" (The Glory of the Martyrs) and "Vita Patrum" (The Lives of the Fathers), which illuminate the religious beliefs and practices of the time. Fredegar's chronicle continues the narrative, providing additional perspectives on Frankish affairs and their impact on Western Europe. Presented in Latin, this volume is essential for researchers interested in medieval history, religious studies, and the development of European identity.
