Abstract 

Orientius’s commonitorium is well-known for containing a list of vices (1,321-592 ; 2,13-84). Most scholars have underlined the unity of these lines and have considered the conclusion of the first book and the begining of the second one as digressions. Based on the observation that the commonitorium is an explicit well-structured poem, our study aims to explain the discontinuity in the treatment of vices between each book. Such considerations lead to reconsider the structure of the poem. The commonitorium seems to be drawn to its end by a kind of « eschatological tension » and presents reflection effects between the first and second books which allow to highlight the core of the poem (1,593-618; 2,1-12), previously considered as digression. This article results from an adjustment of a passage of our doctoral thesis (L. Martin, Le poème d’Orientius. Introduction, texte critique, traduction et commentaire (Université de Strasbourg 2023) 70-83 (https://publication-theses.unistra.fr/public/theses_doctorat/2023/MARTIN_Lucie_2023_ED270.pdf).
