Abstract

"The Formation of Christian Europe" analyses early medieval efforts to fashion an imperium christianum with the organizing principle of the sacramentum. Owen M. Phelan argues that baptism, understood as a sacramentum, both provided a conceptual foundation for a christian Empire in Europe and offered a medium for the communication and the popularization of key beliefs and ideas featured by the Carolingian Renewal. He explores how baptism was seen to unify people theologically consistent, publically available, and socially useful. Phelan also examines the influential court intellectual, Alcuin of York, who worked within the Carolingian court to implement a sacramental society through baptism. The book finally looks at the dissolution of Carolingian political aspirations for an imperium christianum and how, by the end of the ninth century, political frustrations concealed the deeper achievement of the Carolingian Renewal.

Abstract

This study explores one means of imparting Latin literacy in early medieval society: the so-called "external school," often presumed to have been a common feature of medieval monastic education. It questions the prevalence of this institution and whether the external school can be used as evidence of relatively widespread literacy among the non- clerical Carolingian population in particular. By precisely defining and chronicling external schooling, M.M. Hildebrandt invites the reader to reconsider conventional notions about the nature of the Carolingian educational program. The author examines the intention of monastic founders and writers regarding education, the effects of missionary activities on the religious training of non-monks, the attempts made by royal and ecclesiastical leaders to rationalize external schooling, and the impact of ninth-century political and economic turmoil on the development of this institution. The scope of this book makes it of interest as a contribution to the current debate concerning the character of medieval literacy as well as a source book for the study of early medieval monastic education.

Abstract

Despite the wealth of scholarship in recent decades on medieval women, we still know much less about the experiences of women in the early Middle Ages than we do about those in later centuries. In Women and Aristocratic Culture in the Carolingian World, Valerie L. Garver offers a fresh appraisal of the cultural and social history of eighth- and ninth-century women. Examining changes in women's lives and in the ways others perceived women during the early Middle Ages, she shows that lay and religious women, despite their legal and social constrictions, played integral roles in Carolingian society. Garver's innovative book employs an especially wide range of sources, both textual and material, which she uses to construct a more complex and nuanced impression of aristocratic women than we've seen before. She looks at the importance of female beauty and adornment; the family and the construction of identities and collective memory; education and moral exemplarity; wealth, hospitality and domestic management; textile work, and the lifecycle of elite Carolingian women. Her interdisciplinary approach makes deft use of canons of church councils, chronicles, charters, polyptychs, capitularies, letters, poetry, exegesis, liturgy, inventories, hagiography, memorial books, artworks, archaeological remains, and textiles. Ultimately, Women and Aristocratic Culture in the Carolingian World underlines the centrality of the Carolingian era to the reshaping of antique ideas and the development of lasting social norms.

Abstract

This pioneering book studies the function and status of the written word in Carolingian society in France and Germany in the eighth- and ninth-centuries. It demonstrates that literacy was by no means confined to a clerical élite, but was dispersed in lay society and used for government and administration, and for ordinary legal transactions among the peoples of the Frankish kingdom. While exploiting a huge range of primary material, Professor McKitterick does not confine herself to a functional analysis of the written word in Carolingian northern Europe but goes on to assess the consequences and implications of literacy for the Franks themselves and for the subsequent development of European society after 1000. Key topics discussed include law and the use of the written word, the conduct and record of legal transactions, the economic and social status of the book in Carolingian society, the methods evolved to organize and define written knowledge, and the whole question of lay literacy.

Abstract

L’interprétation juste de la Bible constitue l’un des principaux enjeux de la renaissance carolingienne. Révéler le sens du Livre, en partie déterminé par la tradition exégétique, revient à fournir aux réformateurs modèles et prescriptions. En cela, l’exégèse est une source majeure non seulement pour l’histoire culturelle, mais aussi pour l’histoire des représentations. Pourtant, les commentaires bibliques demeurent, aujourd’hui encore, peu utilisés par les historiens, en partie parce que les textes sont souvent inédits.C’est à ces sources que s’attache le présent volume, rassemblant les contributions d’un atelier de recherches tenu à Auxerre les 25 et 26 avril 2005. Le champ balayé par ces études, centrées sur la figure d’un exégète carolingien majeur, Haymon d’Auxerre, est vaste: critique d’authenticité, examen de la tradition manuscrite, comparaison avec les sources et les contemporains du moine d’Auxerre pour comprendre la spécificité de sa pensée. Il en résulte une connaissance plus fine non seulement de l’exégèse du maître auxerrois, mais aussi des échanges entre lettrés carolingiens et de la postérité médiévale de leurs œuvres.
