Służba publiczna i posługa biskupia Sydoniusza Apolinarego w świetle kolekcji listów JF - Vox Patrum JA - VoxP VL - 65 IS - 0 SE - Articles DO - 10.31743/vp.3522 UR - https://czasopisma.kul.pl/index.php/vp/article/view/3522 SP - 605-616 AB - <p>Sidonius Apollinaris was a member of the Gallo-Roman aristocracy in the 5<sup>th </sup>century. His letters are a valuable source of information about many aspects of life in Gaul in the final period of the Roman Empire. The article presents the public service performed by Sidonius for nearly 20 years, which he then abandoned in fa­vour of pastoral and Episcopal service, for a similar period of time. It aims to answer the question: what place did public service occupy in Sidonius’ life as a member of the Gallic aristocracy and what motivated him to take up an Episcopal ministry.</p> ER -
