Author Description

The aim of the book is to gather together and present the proceedings of the international study congress on 'Chromatius of Aquileia and his Age', which took place in Aquileia from 22 to 24 May, 2008, under the direction of Pier Franco Beatrice and Alessio Persic and through the initiative of the 'National Committee for the 16th Centenary Anniversary of the Death of Saint Chromatius, Bishop of Aquileia'. The event stemmed from the passionate interest traditionally shown by Christianity for its origins, inherited from the thousand-year tradition of the Patriarchate of Aquileia. The conference gathered together scholars from Europe and America who are qualified in Chromatius' work: a handwritten oeuvre only recently saved from the anonymity in which it was steeped.
