Gregory of Tours as the Herodotus of Barbarism
TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Gregory of Tours as the Herodotus of Barbarism
Saturday 30 November 2024 is the 1,486th anniversary of the birth of Gregory of Tours (30 November 538 – 17 November 594), who was born in Clermont in Auvergne (at the time, part of Austrasia in the Empire of the Franks) on this date in 538 AD—or thereabouts.
Gregory of Tours, author of The History of the Franks, has been called the “Herodotus of barbarism,” which is an evocative phrase that alerts us to the historical importance of Gregory in the violent and unstable world of the sixth century AD. As different as his world was from ours, Gregory vividly depicts this distant world and helps us to see it as he saw it.
