[Sin as the Structural Principle of the Poem 'De spiritalis historiae gestis' by Alcimus Ecdicius Avitus]
Avitus of Vienne wrote one of the most important biblical epics of late antiquity. His opus De spiritalis historiae gestis consists of five books. So far, researchers have struggled to explain the connection between the individual books. This work, however, is able to show that the coherence of the opus is clearly indicated by the alternation of 'sin stories' and 'order stories'. The recurring elimination of order by sin, thus, paradoxically poses the structural principle of the entire poem. The observation firmly rests on a careful analysis of the epic’s history of theology, exegesis, genre, motif and reception aesthetics and is further supported by philological observations connected to the idea of 'Godly order' and 'sinful chaos'.
