by Amherdt, David
From the publisher
La correspondance d'Ausone et de Paulin de Nole, deux illustres reprsentants de l'aristocratie gallo-romaine du IVe sicle, est un document d'une importance extraordinaire, tant du point de vue historique (description de la socit aristocratique, tmoignage du choc entre la tradition romaine paenne et la tradition chrtienne) que du point de vue littraire (rhtorique, imitation des classiques, assimilation de la tradition littraire paenne par les chrtiens, conception de l'change et de l'amiti pistolaires l'poque tardive). Quatre lettres sont adresses Paulin avant sa conversion un christianisme radical; crites par Ausone, elles ont pour thme la littrature, l'amiti pistolaire et la vie du riche propritaire terrien. Cinq lettres font suite la conversion de Paulin: Ausone (trois lettres) reproche Paulin de trahir leur amiti et les valeurs de l'aristocratie, Paulin (deux lettres) explique les raisons de sa conversion. L'accs au texte original est facilit par la traduction franaise place en regard. L'introduction gnrale, les introductions prcdant chacune des lettres du corpus, ainsi que les notes explicatives analysent sous toutes leurs facettes ces textes que nous ont laisss deux grands de l'Empire comptant parmi les crivains les plus talentueux de leur temps.
