Gregory of Tours


Gregory of Tours (c. 539-594)

"If among all our people there is not one man to be found who can write a book about what is happening today, the pursuit of letters really is dead in us!"
  • The History of the Franks by Gregory of Tours (specifically from Gregory's preface), translated by Lewis Thorpe. New York: Penguin Classics, 1971.
