Historians often have difficulties understanding contrary figures who deviated from mainstream practices and beliefs. In the case of Claudius of Turin, who because of his iconoclasm has been pictured as a proto-Protestant, this image of a solitary was partly his own creation. Claudius liked to present himself as a truth-teller, defending God’s honour and the unity of the church against all kinds of evils. This article uses the case of Claudius and the response of Dungal, one of his learned opponents, like him connected to the royal court, to reflect on the role of self-styling in early medieval debate.

我，克劳迪乌斯 中世纪早期辩论中的自我造型

历史学家经常难以理解背离主流实践和信念的相反人物。在都灵的克劳迪乌斯（Claudius of Turin）的案例中，由于他的偶像破坏被描绘为原始新教徒，这种孤独的形象部分是他自己的创造。克劳迪乌斯（Claudius）喜欢表现自己为讲真话的人，捍卫上帝的荣誉和教会的团结，抵御各种邪恶。本文以克劳迪乌斯（Claudius）的案子和邓加尔（Dungal）的反应为例，他是一位博学的反对者，就像他与皇家法院一样，在中世纪早期的辩论中反思了自我风格的作用。
