Eric Chevalley

Eric Chevalley serves as a Lecturer and researcher at the University of Lausanne's Faculty of Letters within the Institute of Archaeology and Ancient Sciences (ASA), specifically affiliated with the Latin section. Based at the Anthropole Building in Lausanne, Switzerland, he contributes to academic research and teaching in ancient historical studies.

His research centers on Late Antiquity, Hagiography, and Roman History, with specialized focus on Merovingian-era Christian institutions and the cultural transition from antiquity to the medieval period. Chevalley investigates how hagiographic narratives shaped religious memory and political identity in early medieval Europe, particularly through monastic foundations like the Abbey of Saint-Maurice d'Agaune.

His scholarly output demonstrates deep engagement with primary textual sources from the 5th-7th centuries, analyzing their role in preserving historical consciousness within the former Burgundian kingdom. This work bridges classical historiography and medieval religious studies, revealing continuities in liturgical practices and saint cult development during Europe's formative post-Roman era.
