medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Listmembers,
This (very interesting) posting got me wondering who is counted as the
first bishop in France. The archbishop of Lyon is still counted "Primate
of all the Gauls" and his cathedral is deemed "primatiale" rather than
simply "cathedrale." But so is the cathedral of Vienne, Saint-Maurice,
called "primatiale." So, although this may be slightly before our official
list temporal perimeters, I'd like to ask when the practice of having a
"cathedra" and placing it in a building officially designated a
"cathedral" began. I think of Saint Denis and the martyrs of Lyon among
whom was either Polycarp or Irenaeus (one sent the other to evangelize
Gaul and I can never remember which). Were any of these men what we'd call
a bishop today?
Thanks,
MG
