Les centons augustiniens de Florus de Lyon : minutie, érudition et vulgarisation
Pierre Chambert-Protat
Lyon’s Carolingian exemplar of Augustine’s sermo 46 de pastoribus shows a very clear series the signs Florus Lyon is known to have used, when he was preparing excerpts for his patristic compilations on Paul’s epistles. The case quite different here, though: cento he’s comments Song songs, 1,6-7. When extracting and analyzing it, one sees how draws, from polemical passage, spiritual exegesis fully detached historical contingences: same conclusion can be reached considering some others Augustinian centones. And yet himself, in other circumstances, inquiring facts aware contexts: records such details carefully marginal notes Fathers. Thus there are two sides activity as theologian: scholar at work, increasing improving knowledge; popularizing writer trying give simplices an easier access Augustine.
