MIDDLE AGES Texts, Resources and Artefacts THE CONSTRUCTION OF COMMUNITIES IN THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES Texts, Resources and Artefacts EDITED BY RICHARD CORRADINI rvlAX DIESENBERGER HELl\,IUT REIMITZ BRILL LEIDEN' BOSTON 2003 ou f/(GS'J- HAIR, SACRAUTY AND SYMBOUC CAPITAL IN THE FRANKISH KINGDOMS Maximilian Diesenberger When Emperor Julian came to power his beard, after generations of government by clean-shaven Christian generals, was-as Peter Brown recognized-a 'pointed reminder' that a late-antique intellectual was now on the throne. I This symbolism was not lost on the educated public, but even so another interpretation of its meaning was possi- ble: the beard could be a sign of the barbaric or even seem ridicu- lous. Thus, the people of Antiochia laughed about his beard." The beard is portrayed differently by Augustine several years later: "The beard signifies strong men; the beard signifies young, vigorous, active, quick men. 'Vhen therefore we describe such men, we say that a man is bearded."? Thus, the same sign was perceived differently by different groups. Furthermore, one could combine seemingly incon- sistent signa in one person. For example, as the sixth century began, Ennodius wrote of a cer- tain Jovinian that "although he had a Gothic beard [he] went about wearing a lacerna. I am amazed at the races contrasted in [one] immoderate body."" InJovinian's case, the beard represented descent from a specific gens. Differing symbols that represented a person or a people, for example Jovinian's Gothic beard and Roman clothing, could contradict one another, but they also could be interpreted in I P.

Although clearly-visible and easily-manipulable, aspects of the body, the hair and beard were, at the same time, dependent upon their context," They could be used to refer to multiple social groupings: a gens, a hierarchy within a certain society, an ecclesiastical office, and so on.? They could also be used to indicate different social practices or social states, for example mourning, war, the burden of an oath, or pun- ishment," Julian's unkempt and lice-infested beard prompted him to say: "I look like a man expiating a crime."? In this symbolic world, the hair and beard styles of both emperors and subjects were expres- sions of a specific way of life. Combined with other elements of the available repertoire of symbols, hair and beards were employed as a form of self-fashioning-as they were in Julian's case.'? For the Merovingian family, the question of hairstyles was slightly different. For them, hairstyle was less an expression of individual character than an indication that they were members of an exclu- sive group, set apart from the rest of the people. Indeed the way in which they wore their hair seems to have remained constant through- out centuries. In the depictions of the Merovingian family surviving in Frankish historical writing, from Gregory of Tours' sixth-century Decem libri Historiarum to Einhard's early ninth-century obituaries, the long hair of the Merovingians was considered their typical and exclu- sive trait. 1 1 The portrait of the king on a seal found in the tomb of 5 See further examples R.

SYMBOLIC CAPITAL IN THE FRANKISH KINGDOMS 175 Childeric J12 shows him wearing a similiar hair style to that of a head illuminated in an eighth-century Bamberg codex (Staatsbib- liothek, MS patr. 61 olim HJ. IV. 15), a codex that preserves- among other texts-Gregory of Tours' De cursu stellarum ratio:" The accuracy of these depictions is further supported by Priscus' brief description of a Frankish prince. Dating from the middle of the fifth century, and thus roughly contemporary with Childeric, the prince's hair is described in terms that match the depiction of both Childeric's signet ring and the Bamberg Codex." Later, in the eighth century, Theophanes was to say of the Merovingians that "... the descen- dants of that family were called crested, which is translated into Greek as having hair on the back, for they had hair growing out of their back, like swine.l'" The longevity of the royal hairstyle underlines the importance that it had for the l\lerovingians, even as Gregory's account of Gundovald's origo, or childhood, does. In addition a remark that the boy was "educated with great care" and taught to "read and write", Gregory mentions that little Gundovald "wore his hair long and down his back, as is the custom of the Frankish kings."!" Due to the fact that Gundovald's descent was a debated issue among the Merovingians themselves, with Chlothar I repeatedly denying that he was the boy's father, Gregory's brief listing of the important issues surrounding the raising of a l\lerovingian illustrates the vital role that the traditional hairstyle played within the royal family as well as with all the Franks. 12 St. Lebecq, "The two faces of king Childeric: history, archaeology, historio- graphy", InlLgratWn und Herschcfl.

This effort will encompass hagiographical, historiographical and legal texts. Various models which have hitherto been employed in order to explain the significance of these hairstyles will be examined. Was the hairstyle of Germanic origin? This view was often combined with an evolutionist model of a gradual development of Frankish kingship from pagan origins to its full christianization under the Carolingians. Consequently, the question of the significance of hair- styles as expressions of social practice among the Frankish people will lead us beyond the specific case of the Merovingians to the more universal question of the context of social practice itself, within which such signs function. Furthermore this field of enquiry demands the consideration of the textual strategies at work in the tradition. A fundamental question in any study of Merovingian hair is whether it was in and of itself the symbol of 'la distinction'," or whether, as many scholars have claimed, a greater importance has been assigned to something that was merely one point of difference among many. Scholars have in fact tried various approaches to explain the mean- ing and function of the hairstyles of the reges cnniti.1B Mare Bloch, for example, described the hair of the Merovingians as 'un symbole d'ordre surnaturel', containing a 'valeur magique'.'?

  • Repatriating Romance: Politics of Textual Transmission in Early Modern France
    Repatriating Romance: Politics of Textual Transmission in Early Modern France By Linda Danielle Louie A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Romance Languages and Literatures and the Designated Emphasis in Renaissance and Early Modern Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Timothy Hampton, Chair Professor Mairi McLaughlin Professor Victoria Kahn Fall 2017 Repatriating Romance: Politics of Textual Transmission in Early Modern France © 2018 by Linda Danielle Louie Abstract Repatriating Romance: Politics of Textual Transmission in Early Modern France by Linda Danielle Louie Doctor of Philosophy in Romance Languages and Literatures Designated Emphasis in Renaissance and Early Modern Studies University of California, Berkeley Professor Timothy Hampton, Chair This dissertation reveals the central role that transcultural literary exchange plays in the imagining of a continuous French literary history. The traditional narrative of French literary history describes the vernacular canon as built on the imitation of the ancients. However, this dissertation demonstrates that Early Modern French canon formation also depends, to a startling extent, on claims of inter-vernacular literary theft. Throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, a central preoccupation of French authors, translators, and literary theorists was the repatriation of the romance genre. Romance was portrayed as a cornerstone of French literary patrimony that Italian and Spanish authors had stolen. The repatriation of individual romance texts entailed a skillful co-opting of the language of humanist philology, alongside practices of translation and continuation usually associated with the medieval period. By looking at romance translation as part of a project of national canon formation, this dissertation sheds new light on the role that chivalric romance plays in national and international politics.

  • The Aristotle of Pippin III. Greek Books Sent to the Frankish Court (Ca
    42 The Aristotle of Pippin III. Greek Books Sent to the Frankish Court (ca. 758 AD) Christian Gastgeber* The article deals with a unique document from the early Carolingian period, a letter from Pope Paul I sent to King Pippin III. An appendix contains a list of books with some Greek works. In this paper the text is critically re-examined from the perspective of the Greek man- uscript culture and the intention of this »cultural supplement« to the Frankish court. The text attracted great interest from researchers because the book list also includes works by Aristotle and Ps.Dionysius Areopagite. In recent academic discussions the list was interpret- ed on the basis of the edition in the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, which claims to be the first real critical edition of the original text in the codex unicus, housed at the Austrian Na- tional Library. Some scholars became the victims of earlier editions, which present the text as it was amended in the manuscript itself by the late humanist scholar Sebastian Tengnagel (1563-1636). However, the MGH edition also edits the list as interpreted by the editor (thus presenting an unknown geometry by Dionysius Areopagite), not as the manuscript transmits the text. The grouping of the items in the list is fundamental for interpreting the purpose for which these books were delivered. Hence, this paper goes back to the roots and starts from the manuscript and its punctuation. From a linguistic approach, the Areopagite question appears in a new light, and an Areopagite manuscript, sent to the Franks in around 758 AD – about 70 years before the famous Greek manuscript was handed over by envoys from the Byzantine Emperor – , seems to be responsible for the mistake in the textual transmission.

  • Selected Ancestors of the Chicago Rodger's
    Selected Ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s Volume I: Continental Ancestors Before Hastings David Anderson March 2016 Charlemagne’s Europe – 800 AD For additional information, please contact David Anderson at: [email protected] 508 409 8597 Stained glass window depicting Charles Martel at Strasbourg Cathedral. Pepin shown standing Pepin le Bref Baldwin II, Margrave of Flanders 2 Continental Ancestors Before Hastings Saints, nuns, bishops, brewers, dukes and even kings among them David Anderson March 12, 2016 Abstract Early on, our motivation for studying the ancestors of the Chicago Rodger’s was to determine if, according to rumor, they are descendants of any of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell. We relied mostly on two resources on the Internet: Ancestry.com and Scotlandspeople.gov.uk. We have been subscribers of both. Finding the ancestral lines connecting the Chicago Rodger’s to one or more of the Scottish Earls of Bothwell was the most time consuming and difficult undertaking in generating the results shown in a later book of this series of three books. It shouldn’t be very surprising that once we found Earls in Scotland we would also find Kings and Queens, which we did. The ancestral line that connects to the Earls of Bothwell goes through Helen Heath (1831-1902) who was the mother and/or grandmother of the Chicago Rodger’s She was the paternal grandmother of my grandfather, Alfred Heath Rodger. Within this Heath ancestral tree we found four lines of ancestry without any evident errors or ambiguities. Three of those four lines reach just one Earl of Bothwell, the 1st, and the fourth line reaches the 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
