Dialogues (Pope Gregory I)
Template:Short description Template:Italic title
The Dialogues (Template:Langx) of Gregory the Great is a collection of four books of miracles, signs, wonders, and healings done by the holy men of sixth-century Italy.
Summary
Writing in Latin in a time of plague and war, Gregory structured his work as a conversation between himself and Peter, a deacon.[1] His focus is on miraculous events in the lives of monastics.
The second book is devoted to a life of Saint Benedict.[2]
Reception
The Dialogues were the most popular of Gregory's works during the Middle Ages, and in modern times have received more scholarly attention than the rest of his works combined.[3] From this, the author himself is sometimes known as Gregory the Dialogist.[4]
Pope Zachary (Template:Reign) translated the Dialogues into Greek.[5]
