Abstract

The anonymous work Laudes Domini (CPL 1386) provides a poetic consideration on the concept of intermediate and final escathology at the age of Constantine. In line with fourth century literature, the poem expresses the tendency to describe the intermediate and individual eschatology through a miraculous story. However, by linking spiritual and physical reality in view of the final resurrection, the miracle reveals a strong persistence of the primitive eschatological conception. The comparison with the temporary resurrection stories told by Tertullian and Gregory of Tours helps to define the spiritual and theological climate that conditioned the anonymous poet of Autun.
