The Letter Collection of Avitus of Vienne
View through CrossRef
Avitus of Vienne was one of the leading Gallo-Roman aristocrats in the Burgundian kingdom and his letter collection reflects a network of correspondents that included Gallic bishops, Burgundian kings, and the Eastern Roman emperor. Avitus’s collection survives in only 3 manuscripts, but it works effectively to portray him as a learned inheritor of the classical literary traditions of the past and a mediator between the Roman past and the Burgundian present.
