Summary. Teterius, dean of Nevers Cathedral, lived in the second half of the 10th cent. He composed at least three homilies and a hagiographic text (BHL 1811). The Virgin Mary, to whom he was particularly devoted, is said to have healed him with her milk when he was on the verge of death. This Miracle, the memory of which was apparently preserved in Cluniac circles and through an inscription, is published here for the first time, thanks to its inclusion in a Latin collection of Miracles of the Virgin, a little-known model for the Lyon Mariale in the Oïl dialect. It was also, in an altered form, recounted orally to Peter Damian and reported in several accounts that modify or omit the names of Teterius and Nevers. In the appendix, based on the same collection, the following Miracle is published, which, judging by the language and style, appears to be by the same author.

Abstract

Summary. Teterius, dean of Nevers Cathedral, lived in the second half of the 10th cent. He composed at least three homilies and a hagiographic text (BHL 1811). The Virgin Mary, to whom he was particularly devoted, is said to have healed him with her milk when he was on the verge of death. This Miracle, the memory of which was apparently preserved in Cluniac circles and through an inscription, is published here for the first time, thanks to its inclusion in a Latin collection of Miracles of the Virgin, a little-known model for the Lyon Mariale in the Oïl dialect. It was also, in an altered form, recounted orally to Peter Damian and reported in several accounts that modify or omit the names of Teterius and Nevers. In the appendix, based on the same collection, the following Miracle is published, which, judging by the language and style, appears to be by the same author.
