medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Phyllis,
In addition to what's already been cited, you might wish to have a look
at:
Moorhead, John, _Theoderic in Italy_ (Oxford: Clarendon Pr., 1992),
esp. pp. 89-96.
Noble, Thomas F. X., "Theodoric and the Papacy," in AA.VV., _Teoderico
il Grande e i Goti d'Italia. Atti del XIII Congresso internazionale di
studi sull'Alto Medioevo, Milano 2-5 novembre 1992_ (Spoleto: Centro
italiano di studi sull'Alto Medioevo, 1993), I, 395-423.
Amory, Patrick, _People and Identity in Ostrogothic Italy, 489-554_
(Cambridge U. P., 1997), esp. ch. 6, "Catholic Communities and
Christian Empire" (pp. 195-235), and ch. 7, "Individual Reactions to
Ideology III: Arians and Catholics" (pp. 236-76).
Christie, Neil, _The Lombards: The Ancient Longobards_ (Oxford:
Blackwell, 1995), esp. pp. 183-90. [If I may interject a personal view
here, I would be rather more cautious than is Christie in accepting as
historical the Beneventan Lombard snake cult we hear about in the Life
of Barbatus of Benevento.]
Probably the most informative of these for your purposes will be
Amory. I would start with him.
Best,
John Dillon
