The barbarian law codes, compiled between the sixth and eighth centuries, were copied remarkably frequently in the Carolingian ninth century. They provide crucial evidence for early medieval society, including the settlement of disputes, the nature of political authority, literacy, and the construction of ethnic identities. Yet it has proved extremely difficult to establish why the codes were copied in the ninth century, how they were read, and how their rich evidence should be used. Thomas Faulkner tackles these questions more systematically than ever before, proposing new understandings of the relationship between the making of law and royal power, and the reading of law and the maintenance of ethnic identities. Faulkner suggests major reinterpretations of central texts, including the Carolingian law codes, the capitularies adding to the laws, and Carolingian revisions of earlier barbarian and Roman laws. He also provides detailed analysis of legal manuscripts, especially those associated with the leges-scriptorium.

This book is not a conventional political narrative of Carolingian history shaped by narrative sources, capitularies, and charter material. It is structured, instead, by numismatic, diplomatic, liturgical, and iconographic sources and deals with political signs, images, and fixed formulas in them as interconnected elements in a symbolic language that was used in the indirect negotiation and maintenance of Carolingian authority. Building on the comprehensive analysis of royal liturgy, intitulature, iconography, and graphic signs and responding to recent interpretations of early medieval politics, this book offers a fresh view of Carolingian political culture and of corresponding roles that royal/imperial courts, larger monasteries, and human agents played there.

In der aktuellen geschichtswissenschaftlichen Forschung ist eine Hinwendung zu vergleichenden Fragestellungen zu verzeichnen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird ein historischer "Zufall" aus der frühmittelalterlichen Geschichte in den Blick genommen: Mitte des 8. Jahrhunderts wechselten sowohl im Frankenreich als auch im islamischen Kalifat die Herrscherdynastien, Merowinger und Umayyaden wurden nahezu zeitgleich durch Karolinger bzw. Abbasiden ersetzt. Welche Argumente wurden dabei von den Usurpatoren benutzt, welche Strategien verfolgt, um den Untertanen, namentlich den Angehörigen der Eliten, die Rechtmäßigkeit der eigenen Machtausübung schlüssig plausibel zu machen? Während die Abbasiden behaupteten, als Verwandte des verstorbenen Propheten Mohammed über ein spezielles, erbliches Charisma zu verfügen, das ihnen den Zugang zu einem unvergleichlichen, islamisch begründeten Herrschaftswissen eröffne, konstruierten die Karolinger mit Hilfe der Kirche, namentlich des römischen Papsttums, ein besonderes Amtscharisma, mit dessen Hilfe sie sich als Exponenten eines verchristlichten Herrschertums und als geistliche Verwandte des Nachfolgers des heiligen Petrus inszenierten. Trotz aller Unterschiede versuchten beide Dynastien, sich als Exponenten eines sakral konnotierten Herrschertums zu etablieren. Die konkreten Spielräume, die sich den politischen Akteuren eröffneten, hingen jedoch entscheidend von den historischen Rahmenbedingungen ab, namentlich vom jeweiligen Stadium der religiösen Traditionsbildung und den vorherrschenden religiös-kulturellen Paradigmen zur Vergangenheitsrezeption. Untersucht werden erb- und amtscharismatische Konzeptualisierungen der Herrschaft, Fragen der Rekrutierung von Eliten sowie Probleme der Instrumentalisierung und Transformation religiöser Vorstellungen zum Zweck der Integration politischer Gemeinwesen. Die Arbeit unternimmt eine umfassende Kontextualisierung zweier "Ereignisse" der politischen Geschichte, wobei sie Fragestellungen der Religions-, Kultur- und Sozialgeschichte aufgreift und funktionale Äquivalente in den beiden untersuchten religiös-politischen Systemen aufzeigt. Das Instrumentarium des Vergleichs ist wesentlich von den Kategorien Max Webers und Pierre Bourdieus inspiriert, wobei der methodische Ansatz des Vergleichs unter Aufnahme von Anregungen der neueren Globalgeschichte weiterentwickelt wird. Durch die Analyse zweier komplementärer Phänomene aus der christlich-lateinischen sowie der arabisch-islamischen Geschichte leistet die Arbeit einen Beitrag zur Konzeptualisierung einer politischen Kulturgeschichte in der Vormoderne. Die theoriegeleitete, komparative und problemorientierte Untersuchung macht Methoden und Konzepte der Historischen Komparatistik für die Frühmittelalterforschung fruchtbar und unterstützt auf diese Weise die geschichtswissenschaftliche und mediävistische Theoriebildung.

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.

The astronomy of the Carolingian era has commonly been represented as concerned exclusively with computus , the science of calendar construction as well as arithmetical calculation in general. This volume shows the error of that portrayal by exploring the study and teaching of four Roman texts on astronomy and cosmology in the Carolingian world and the diagrams connected to those texts. As each of these works came into use over the Carolingian era, its contributions merged into a progressively more ordered picture of the heavens. Both eccentrics and epicycles appeared by the 840s. These techniques were subsequently introduced clearly and qualitatively to complete the Carolingian enterprise. The primary tool for understanding this effort is the analysis of their diagrams.

"Circa AD 750, both the Islamic world and western Europe underwent political revolutions; these raised to power, respectively, the 'Abbasid and Carolingian dynasties. The eras thus inaugurated were similar not only in their chronology, but also in the foundational role each played in its respective civilization, forming and shaping enduring religious, cultural, and societal institutions. The 'Abbāsid and Carolingian Empires: Studies in Civilizational Formation, is the first collected volume ever dedicated specifically to comparative Carolingian-'Abbasid history. In it, editor D.G. Tor brings together essays from some of the leading historians in order to elucidate some of the parallel developments in each of these civilizations, many of which persisted not only throughout the Middle Ages, but to the present day. Contributors are: Michael Cook, Jennifer R. Davis, Robert Gleave, Eric J. Goldberg, Minoru Inaba, Jürgen Paul, Walter Pohl, D.G. Tor and Ian Wood."--Provided by publisher.

Die wichtigsten Akteure im Transfer antiken Wissens ins Frühmittelalter sind die karolingischen Klöster. Die klösterlichen Skriptorien sorgten durch ihre Tätigkeit für die Weitergabe von patristischem und paganem Wissen sowie im Sinne der karolingischen renovatio für die Präsenz korrekter und eindeutiger Schriftzeugnisse. Die einzelnen Beiträge untersuchen die Spuren der zeitgenössischen Träger und Rezipienten, die auf das karolingische Wissenssystem einwirkten und die Vermittlung und Selektion von Wissen steuerten. Dabei stehen Fragen nach dem karolingischen Wissenskanon und der frühmittelalterlichen Gelehrtenkultur im Mittelpunkt. Als Ausgangsbasis der Forschungen dienen in vielen Fällen die handschriftlichen Artefakte des Klosters Lorsch und seine einzigartige Bibliothek, die um die Mitte des 9. Jahrhunderts einen der bedeutendsten europäischen Bücherbestände aufwies.Die vorliegende Publikation bündelt die Beiträge einer im Rahmen des Heidelberger Sonderforschungsbereichs 933 »Materiale Textkulturen« veranstalteten Tagung, die vor allem nach der Organisation und Vermittlung von Wissen in der Karolingerzeit fragte.

The Favor of Friends offers the first book-length exploration of intercession—aid and advocacy by one individual or group in behalf of another—within early medieval aristocratic societies. Drawing upon a variety of disciplines and historiographical traditions, Sean Gilsdorf demonstrates how this process operated, and how it was ideologically elaborated, in Carolingian and Ottonian Europe, allowing individuals and groups to leverage their own, limited interpersonal networks to the fullest, produce new relationships, gain access to previously closed spaces, and generate interest in their agendas from those able to effect change. The Favor of Friends enriches our understanding of early medieval politics and rulership, offering a model of political interaction in which hierarchy and comity do not stand in ideological and pragmatic tension, but instead work in integrated and mutually-reinforcing ways.
