Summary
Commenting on and analysing the Libellus Carminum of the seventh century Visigothic bishop and poet Eugenius of Toledo, Annemarie Pilarski argues that in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, writing and reading religious poetry could be perceived as a spiritual practice, but also as a general way of coping with life and its existential conditions and crises.
