	Avitus of Vienne (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Avitus was born of a prominent Gallo-Roman family closely related to the Emperor Avitus and other illustrious persons, and in which episcopal honors were hereditary.
		About eighty-seven letters of Avitus are of considerable importance for the ecclesiastical and political history of the years between 499 and 518.
		Avitus is not the author of the so-called "Dialogues with King Gundobad", written to defend the Catholic Faith against the Arians, and purports to represent the famous Colloquy of Lyons in 449.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Avitus
		A distinguished bishop of Vienne, in Gaul, from 490 to about 518, though his death is place by some as late as 525 or 526.
		He is one of the last masters of the art of rhetoric as taught in the schools of Gaul in the fourth and fifth centuries.
		In recent times Julien Havet has demonstrated (Questions mérovingiennes, Paris, 1885), that Avitus is not the author of the "Dialogi cum Gundobado Rege", a defence of the Catholic Faith against the Arians, purporting to represent the famous Colloquy of Lyons in 449, and first published by d'Achéry (1661) in his "Spicilegium" (V, 110-116).

		Writing to Sigismund, his convert 232son of the Arian king Gundobad, he gives the information that the latter had formally promised to set up a Bonosian community in his kingdom by the establishment of a bishop of their faith, and that this body was recruited from the Arians.
		Avitus took an opposite view, either to conciliate the king, who at that time gave hopes of his conversion, or from motives of general policy.
		The later history shows that this hope proved false, because the sect was not confined to Burgundian territory; and it is not surprising that sharp measures were taken against those who remained obdurate in their heresy under Catholic rule.

	Lyons
		In 1822 the Department of Ain was separated from the Archdiocese of Lyons to form the Diocese of Belley; the title of the suppressed church of Embrun was transferred to the Archdiocese of Aix, and the Archdiocese of Lyons and Vienne had henceforth as suffragans Langres, Autun, Dijon, St. Claude, and Grenoble.
		The "Deacon of Vienne", martyred at Lyons during the persecution of 177, was probably a deacon installed at Vienne by the ecclesiastical authority of Lyons.
		The letter addressed to the Christians of Asia and Phrygia in the name of the faithful of Vienne and Lyons, and relating the persecution of 177, is considered by Ernest Renan as one of the msot extraordinary documents possessed by any literature; it is the baptismal certificate of Christianity in France.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2006.05.38
		Avitus, bishop of Vienne on the Rhone from about 490 to 518, was a highly cultured member of the Gallo-Roman aristocracy of late antiquity, associated with the families of Sidonius Apollinaris and the Neoplatonist Claudianus Mamertus.
		Avitus is not as familiar an author as Virgil, or even Valerius Flaccus, and most users of this book would have been helped by some basic information on him.
		Avitus' hexameters are replete with traditional epic diction and forms, with Virgil, Ovid, and Lucan as the most obvious influences.

		Avitus sometimes sent gifts of fish with his letters, in part perhaps because they provided an opportunity to indulge in mock moralizing about fasting and comic exaggeration about feasting.
		Claudianus was a priest at Vienne, and his disparaging personal invective reflected disagreements over the appropriate use of classical philosophical ideas by churchmen.
		Avitus' source for the first half of his poem was Augustine's long commentary on Genesis; in the second half he continued to apply Augustine's techniques of biblical exposition.

		It is organized into two large sections, the first, "Augustine's Garden," concentrating on the development of the patristic interpretation of the Fall as evident in commentaries on the first three chapters of Genesis; and the second, "The Medieval Garden," investigating the continuity and manipulation of patristic notions in later vernacular literature.
		The first three chapters focus almost exclusively on Augustine, although attention is also paid to Ambrose and Avitus of Vienne, whose Poematum de spiritalis historiae gestis is the first Latin poetic treatment of the Fall.
		In his discussion of Avitus, for example, he notes that the "Serpent is expressly masculine, and the phallic significance of its 'outstretched neck' soon becomes manifest in relation to Eve's eroticized ear" (117).

		In a letter written to Clovis at the time of his baptism, Avitus of Vienne (now in France) praises his faith, humility, and mercy.
		One of the first Germanic kings to do so, he did, in fact, convert to Catholicism, but recent analysis of the contemporary sources that describe his reign—especially of a letter written by Avitus of Vienne congratulating him on his baptism—suggests that Clovis did not convert to Catholicism directly from paganism.
		According to Avitus, it is also likely that Clovis was baptized rather late in life, possibly at Christmas in 508, only three years before his death.

		But this protection became more and more ineffective as the Empire, growing every more easternised and worn out by constant pressure from Islam, paid less and less attention to the West.
		In need of a new 'secular arm', the papacy turned its eyes towards the only western kingdom (after the collapse of Visigoth Spain) capable of performing this function: the kingdom of the Franks, whose leader spiritual, Avitus of Vienne, foresaw, after the baptism of Clovis, would become the predominant Catholic power of the West.
