Abstract
Hilary of Orléans (about 1075-1140) spent considerable time in Angers between 1105 and 1122-1123. In the cloister of Saint Eutrope he knew the recluse Hervé (who became his friend) and Eve of Wilton (about 1058-1120), an English anchoress whose life was very holy and pious. In his rhythm «Veni, dator omnis boni, veni, Sancte Spiritus», the medieval poet remembers the life and the death of Eve and supplies God, the Holy Mother, the Holy Spirit and all the Saints to take her in Paradise. The composition is full of hymnological and hagiographical themes. This paper presents a strict analysis of the text, with many considerations about rhetorical, stylistic and metric elements which occur in it.
