"Dialogues on the Lives of the Italian Fathers and on the Immortality of the Soul" by Gregory the Great (Bishop of Rome, d. 604 AD) are one of the outstanding monuments of patristic literature, hagiography and eschatology, which defined a number of key paradigms of the Western European Middle Ages and world culture.
The book is a unique collection on the history of Christianity and the development of monasticism on the territory of the Apennine Peninsula in the 6th century during the barbarian invasions, being, in particular, the only source on the life history of St. Benedict of Nursia. "Dialogues" contain rich material characterizing the formation of Christian teaching on holiness, the afterlife, hell and heaven, developing the traditions laid down by Blessed Augustine.
This is the first scientific edition of the book in Russian. The text is accompanied by notes, indexes and an extensive article on the life and work of Gregory the Great, the specifics of his teaching and the Dialogues themselves.
For all those interested in the history of the church, the early Middle Ages and Christian culture in general.
