Medieval History
The World of Caesarius of Arles: a short conference organised by the School of History, Classics and Archaeology, University of Edinburgh.
Date: Friday 15th-Saturday 16th March, 2012
The starting point for this conference is the lively and controversial figure of Caesarius, bishop of Arles from 502-542. Both Caesarius and the time in which he lived have been seen as emblematic of the cusp between the ancient and medieval eras. This conference brings together scholars from diverse backgrounds, including ancient and medieval historians, in order to throw light on this fascinating figure, an eventful period of late antique history, and the rich material culture of southern Gaul.
Friday 15th March Opening Lecture, 5pm
William Klingshirn (Catholic University of America): ?Caesarius of Arles: 1970-2042: retrospect and prospect?
Saturday 16th March Day Conference (9am-6pm)
Lisa Bailey (Auckland): ?Scripture in the sermons of Caesarius of Arles?
Kate Cooper (Manchester): ?Caesarius and the late Roman household?
Lucy Grig (Edinburgh): ?Celebrating the Kalends of January in late antique Gaul?
Peter Heather (KCL): ?Caesarius, Theodoric and the Papacy?
Edward James (TCD): ?The self-representation of a bishop: Caesarius of Arles compared to Gregory of Tours?
