Abstract

Revisiting one of the great puzzles of European political history, Jennifer Davis examines how the Frankish king Charlemagne and his men held together the vast new empire he created during the first decades of his reign. Davis explores how Charlemagne overcame the two main problems of ruling an empire, namely how to delegate authority and how to manage diversity. Through a meticulous reconstruction based on primary sources, she demonstrates that rather than imposing a pre-existing model of empire onto conquered regions, Charlemagne and his men learned from them, developing a practice of empire that allowed the emperor to rule on a European scale. As a result, Charlemagne's realm was more flexible and diverse than has long been believed. Telling the story of Charlemagne's rule using sources produced during the reign itself, Davis offers a new interpretation of Charlemagne's political practice, free from the distortions of later legend.

Abstract

Der Predigt in der Karolingerzeit hat die historische Forschung bisher wenig Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet, obwohl sie in der Gesetzgebung seit der Admonitio generalis von 789 eine große Rolle spielte. In diesem Text forderte der fränkische König Karl der Große nicht nur die Bischöfe und Priester auf zu predigen, sondern gab gleichzeitig auch die Inhalte vor. Tatsächlich setzt im letzten Viertel des 8. Jahrhunderts eine reiche Überlieferung von Predigthandschriften ein. Auf Basis dieser Überlieferung würdigt das Buch erstmals umfassend die gesellschaftliche Bedeutung, die der Predigt zur Zeit Karls des Großen zukam: Es untersucht ihr Verhältnis zu den Kapitularien und beleuchtet dabei ihre bisher kaum beachtete Funktion als politisches Instrument im Reich Karls des Großen. Many sermon manuscripts were created around 800 CE over the course of the Carolingian reform movement, but until now, historical researchers have largely overlooked them. The presentation analyzes selected sermon collections to reveal their importance as a medium for implementing reforms at the local level, thereby making them an important instrument of Carolingian rule.
