Amputation Metaphors and the Rhetoric of Exile: Purity and Pollution in Late Antique Christianity

Résumé

As episcopal banishment became the normative sentence for bishops in the 4 th century, a rhetoric of exile came to express the symbolic understanding of this measure through amputation metaphors. Blending three older strands (philosophical, religious, and political) of medical metaphors, this discourse continued a traditional concern for purity and pollution in Roman religion.
