The Dialogues (Шаблон:Lang-la) of Gregory the Great is a collection of four books of miracles, signs, wonders, and healings done by the holy men of sixth-century Italy.

Summary

Writing in Latin in a time of plague and war, Gregory structured his work as a conversation between himself and Peter, a deacon.[1] His focus is on miraculous events in the lives of monastics.

The second book is devoted to a life of Saint Benedict.[2]

Reception

The Dialogues were the most popular of Gregory's works during the Middle Ages, and in modern times have received more scholarly attention than the rest of his works combined.[3] From this, the author himself is sometimes known as Gregory the Dialogist.[4]

Pope Zachary (Шаблон:Reign) translated the Dialogues into Greek.[5]
