Delphi Complete Works of Sulpicius Severus (Illustrated)
A fourth century Christian ascetic, Sulpicius is an important authority for Gallo-Roman history and the most graceful writer of his time. His most famous work is a biography of Saint Martin of Tours, of whom he was a disciple and his most famous hagiographer. He also wrote an influential ‘Sacred History’, narrating events from the Creation to his own time, while omitting the Gospels. Sulpicius’ ‘Dialogues’ are a literary masterpiece in which the relative merits of Martin’s monastery are debated by one of its inmates with a traveller, who has recently returned to Aquitania from the ascetics of the North African desert. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the ...

St. Martin and His Hagiographer
The Life of St Martin by Sulpicius Severus was one of the formative works of Latin hagiography. Yet although written by a contemporary who knew Martin, it attracted immediate criticism. Why? This study seeks an explanation by placing Sulpicius works both in their intellectual context, and in the context of a church that was then undergoing radical transformation. It is thus both a study of Sulpicius, Martin, and their world, and at the same time an essay in the interpretation of hagiography.
Sacred History
Rescued from being a lost book, this history's last manuscript lay deep within the Vatican Archives, this classic historical text is now, for the first time, being published for the modern reader. Sulpicius Severus is best known for his biography of St. Martin of Tours and his Sacred History (also known as the Chronicle.) Sacred History is a brief history of the world from the beginning to his own time and in the latter portions focuses on the Priscillianist heresy that disordered his home province of Aquitaina which is in modern day France, as well as the Arian controversy. Severus prefers a purely historical interpretation of the scriptures in reaction to the gnostic philosophy that entrenched his region that reduced the sacred history to mere allegory. The Sacred History is written in classic style, such as what is found in Tacitus, and is intended to introduce lovers of history to the histories of the Bible.
Greek and Latin Narratives about the Ancient Martyrs
The Vita Martini or Life of Martin of Sulpicius Severus is one of the classic Latin hagiographies. Its hero, Martin, was one of the first monks in the Western Roman Empire, and was also one of the first monk-bishops. His life, as presented by Sulpicius, is a series of confrontations: withvarious Emperors and other leading figures in the Roman state, with members of the "Arian heresy", Christians whose theology of the Trinity placed them at odds with exponents of "Nicene" Christianity, with the his lax and venal fellow-bishops in Gaul, and above all with the Devil, whose variousshows of strength and guile Martin faces down. The Vita Martini is a brilliant combination of Christian and classica...
Life of St. Martin
Saint Martin of Tours was the third bishop of Tours. He has become one of the most familiar and recognizable Christian saints in Western tradition. A native of Pannonia, he converted to Christianity at a young age. He served in the Roman cavalry in Gaul, but left military service at some point prior to 361, when he embraced Trinitarianism and became a disciple of Hilary of Poitiers, establishing the monastery at Ligugé. He was consecrated as Bishop of Caesarodunum (Tours) in 371. As bishop, he was active in the suppression of the remnants of Gallo-Roman religion, but he opposed the violent persecution of the Priscillianist sect of ascetics.
