The Prose Lives of Venantius Fortunatus: Hagiography and the Laity in Sixth-Century Gaul

This book analyzes the prose hagiographies written by the poet Venantius Fortunatus (c.530-c.600/609CE) to ascertain how they were used in the pastoral care of the Christian laity in sixth-century Gaul, particularly through their recitation in the mass. Applying methods from semiotics, narratology, and philology to recover the multi-faceted moral and spiritual teachings that would have emerged from their interpretation in this original, lost oral context, the book demonstrates that Fortunatus

What does a singing bear have to do with Chaucer?

A lot, it turns out.

History is sometimes an act of accumulation: 397 folios. Hundreds of candles. Countless tiny details.

Today’s blog post discusses reading for details that earlier editors thought didn’t matter.

This is more than scale for scale’s sake. Projects like CoMMA show how AI can shift historiography itself: not by “interpreting” the past, but by restoring access to it. By transcribing manuscripts without normalising spelling or silently resolving abbreviations, AI allows historians to study scribal practice, layout, and linguistic variation at a scale previously impossible.
