Paulus Orosius

    1 janvier 0385 – 1 janvier 0418

    Paulus Orosius fut un prêtre et théologien chrétien influent, principalement reconnu comme historien. Son œuvre la plus marquante, "Histoire contre les païens", est considérée comme une pierre angulaire de l'historiographie, reliant l'Antiquité au Moyen Âge. À travers ce texte monumental, Orose a non seulement raconté l'histoire, mais a également exposé sa méthodologie d'étude du passé. Ses écrits ont servi de source d'information essentielle sur le monde antique jusqu'à la Renaissance, et son approche académique a laissé une impression durable sur les historiens ultérieurs.

      Orosius († kolem roku 420) byl pozdně antický spisovatel a historik, původem z Bracary v Lusitanii (dn. Braga v Portugalsku). Roku 414 přišel na útěku před Vandaly do afrického město Hippo Regia, v době svého pobytu u Jeronýma v Palestině se zapojil i do teologického sporu o učení pelagiánů. Dějiny proti pohanům v sedmi knihách (Historiae adversus paganos VII) jsou Orosiovým hlavním a nejdůležitějším dílem. Napsal je z podnětu církevního Otce Aurelia Augustina na podporu jeho historicko-eschatologické teze o vítězství Boží obce (civitas Dei) nad obcí pozemskou (civitas terrena). V dějinách, jež časově zabírají dobu od stvoření Adama až do roku 417, se Orosius snaží dokázat, že od příchodu Kristova na zem se situace lidstva zlepšila. Čerpal z Písma, Eusebiovy kroniky, Livia, Justina či Eutropia. V popisu událostí posledních desetiletí však již postupuje samostatně a tyto pasáže jsou z historického hlediska nejcennější. Orosiova kronika je sice napsána zaujatě a povrchně s rétoricky nadnesenou dikcí, představuje nicméně významný doklad ve vývoji křesťanské univerzalistické historiografie. V pozdější době z ní čerpal např. proslulý polyhistor Isidor ze Sevilly a těšila se velké čtenářskému ohlasu po celý středověk. První český překlad a edici Orosiova díla připravuje Bohumila Mouchová, která se pozdně antickou historiografií dlouhodobě zabývá, spolu s Bořivojem Markem.
