A Christian writer from late antiquity in Gaul. Born in a Christian family in Toriel, he entered the monastery of Lerins in 425. In 439 he became a priest in Marseille, where he remained until the end of his life, and wrote many books while living an ascetic life. His main work is De gubernatione Dei (8 volumes). He witnessed the plundering by the Franks in his hometown, but he criticized the people of the Roman Empire, especially the officials of Toriel and the Christians of the empire, as corrupt, and claimed that the Germanic invasion and disasters were a manifestation of God's wrath against these believers. He also argued that the Germanic people were more ethical and capable of becoming good believers, and called on the believers of the empire to repent, abandon their dissolute lifestyle, and help the poor.

古代末期ガリアのキリスト教著述家。トリエルのキリスト教徒の家に生まれる。425年にレランの修道院に入った。439年マルセイユの司祭となり、終生その職にあって禁欲的生活のうちに多くの著述をなした。主著は『神の支配について』De gubernatione Dei(8巻)。彼は、生地でフランク人による略奪を目撃しているが、ローマ帝国民、ことにトリエルの役人や帝国のキリスト教徒を堕落していると非難し、ゲルマンの侵入と災禍はこれら教徒に対する神の怒りの現れだと主張した。そして、むしろゲルマン人のほうが倫理的でよい教徒になりうるとして、帝国の教徒に悔い改めと放恣(ほうし)な生活を捨てて貧者を救うことを求めている。 [松本宣郎] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
