Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stifiungfiir Rechtsgeschichte, Germanistishe Abteilung, Kanonistisehe Abteilung Introductory Note There are two bibliographies, one for works in English and one for works in other lan­ guages. The first I have tried to make fairly comprehensive, as a guide for those who wish to study early medieval Gaul further; the second is inevitably more seiective, since the literature in both French and German is vast, and concentrates more particularly on those aspects of the period dealt with in the book. Since the footnotes refer largely to the primary sourees, this serves as a guide to most of my own sourees. I have divided both sections, A and B, into the following categories: I. GENERAL WORKS 2. SOURCES 209 210 BIBLIOGRAHIES 3. GENERAL AND POLITICAL HISTORY (a) The late Roman period (b) The Merovingian period (e) The early Carolingian period (d) The late Carolingian period 4. SOCIALHISTORY 5. ECONOMIC HISTORY (a) General (b) Trade (e) Towns (d) The countryside 6. THECHURCHANDCULTURE (a) General (b) The Merovingian Church (e) The Carolingian Church Cross-references will be given in the form, e.g., B5-c. A. BIBLIOGRAPHY OF WORKS IN ENGLISH I. GENERAL WORKS. There is no general introduction to the history ofGaul or France in English which cov­ ers the whole period. R. Latouche, Caesar to Charlemagru: the Beginnings of Franee (Lon­ don, 1968), is lightweight and consists largely of extracts from the sourees. For the later part ofthe period, see R. McKitterick, forthcoming (see be1ow, A3-c). Good short in­ troductions are to be found inJ. M. Wallace-Hadrill, The Barbarian West, 4OO-I()(}() (3rd edn, London, 1967), chs 4 and 5, and in D. Talbot Rice (ed.), The Dark Ages (London, 1965), chs 10 and 13. Chapter 10 was revised and reissued as a book: P. Lasko, The Kingdom ofehe Franks (London, 1971). The most detailed narrative is still to be found in vo1s II and 111 ofthe Cambridge Medieval History (Cambridge, 1913, 1922). The projected rep1acement ofM. Deanes1y, A History ofEarly Medieval Europe, 476-9II (London, 1956), by J. L. Nelson and I. N. Wood, will be extremely welcome, as will P. McNulty's vol­ urne for the Longman series.J. Hubertetal., Europein the Dark Ages (London, 1969) and Carolingian Art (London, 1970), are admirable guides to art and architectura1 history. 2.S0URCES (a) The late Roman period The letters and poems ofSidonius Apollinaris have been translated in the Loeb series by W. B. Anderson (2 vols, London, 1936, 1965); the letters alone by O. M. Dalton (2 vols, Oxford, 1915). On the Government ofGod, by Salvian, is translated by E. M. Sanford (New York, 1930). F. R. Hoare, The Western Fathers (London, 1954), contains the lives of Martin ofTours, Honoratus of Arles and Germanus of Auxerre. (b) The Merovingian period The major narrative sources have all been translated: Gregory ofTours, History ofthe Franks by L. Thorpe (Harmondsworth, 1974), and by O. M. Dalton, 2 vo1s (London, 1926); Gregory's continuator Fredegar by J. M. Wallace-Hadrill, The Fourth Book ofthe Chronicle ofFredegar (London, 1960); and the Lwer Historiae Franc07U1Tl by B. S. Bachrach BIBLIOGRAPHIES 211 (Lawrence, Kansas, 1973). Extracts ofother works ofGregory are to be found in E. Peters, ed., Monks, Bishops and Pagans (Philadelphia, 1975); complete translations ofthe Miracles ofStJulian and St Martin, by J. Corbett, are in progress (Toronto, forthcoming). The only legal material in translation is K. F. Drew, The Burgundian Code (Philadel­ phia, 1949). The sermons ofCaesarius of ArIes have been translated by Si ster M. M. Mucller in the Fathers ofthe Church series (3 vols, New York 1956, Washington 1964 and 1973). Thc only 'Merovingian' saint's life in translation, and only in part, is Jonas's Lire ofColumbanus, in E. Peters, op. eit. Columbanus' own works have been edited and translated by G. S. M. Walker, Sancti Columbani Opera (Dublin, 1970). Various types of Merovingian source material can be found inJ. N. Hillgarth, ed., The Conversion ofWest­ ern Europe, 350-750 (Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, 1969). (c) The Carolingian period B. S. Scholz, ed., Carolingian Chronicles (Ann Arbor, 1970), contains the Royal Frankish Annals and Nithard's Histories. H. R. Loyn andJ. Percival, The Reign ofCharlemagne (London, 1975), contains selections from capitularies, charters etc. Several biographies hive been translated in toto: Einhard and Notker in Two Lives of Charlemagne by L. Thorpe (Harmondsworth, 1969); the Astronomer in Son ofCharlemagne: a Contemporary Life of Louis the Pious by A. Cabaniss (Syracuse, New York, 1961) and lives of Adalard and Wala in Charlemagne's Cousins by A. Cabaniss (Syracuse, New York, 1967). Adalard's own 'Customs ofCorbie' have been translated by C. W.Jones in vol III ofE. Horn and W. Born, The Plan ojSt Galt (Berkeley, California, 1979). Four collections ofletters have been completely or partially translated: The Letters of Saint Boniface by E. Emerton (New York, 1940) (for Willibald's Life ofBoniface, see C. H. Talbot, ed., The Anglo-Saxon Missionaries in Germany (London, 1954)); the letters of Alcuin in Alcuin ofYork by S. Allott (York, 1974); The LettersofLupusofFerrieres by G. W. Regenos (The Hague, 1966); and The Leiters ofGerbert, with his Papal Privileges as Sylvester 11, by H. P. Lattin (New York, 1961). Veryfew sources from the late ninth or tenth cen­ tury have been translated. The only work by Hincmar ofRheims known to me in trans­ lation is the De ordine palatii, to be found in The History ofFeudalism, ed. D. Herlihy (Lon­ don, 1971), together with extracts from Merovingian and Carolingian sources relating to 'feudalism'. Two important tenth-century saints' lives, Odo's Life ofGerald ofAuril­ lac andJohn ofSalerno's Life ofOdo, are to be found in G. Sitwell, ed., St Odo ofCluny (London, 1958). Some idea ofCarolingian learning can be gathered from Dicuili Liber de Mensura Orbis Terrae, ed. and trans. J. J. Tierney (Dublin, 1967), and John Scotus Eriugena, Periphyseon: On the Division of Nature, trans. M. Uhlfelder (Indianapolis, 1976). (Vol. I is edited and trans la ted by I. P. Sheldon-Williams (Dublin, 1968).) See also, as an example of vision-literature, D. A. Traill, Walalifrid Strabo 's Visio Weltini (Berne/Frankfurt, 1974). 3. GENERAL AND POLITICAL HISTORY (a) The late Roman period The major work is A. H. M.Jones, The Later Roman Empire, 284-602 (3 vols plus maps, Oxford, 1964). On later Roman Gaul, see sections inJ. Matthews, Western Aristocracies and the Imperial Court (Oxford, 1975); C. E. Stevens, Sidonius Apoltinaris and His Age (Oxford, 1933); and N. K. Chadwick, Poetry and Leiters in Early Christian Gaul (Cam­ bridge, 1955). On the invasions, see above all L. Musset, The Germanic Invasions (Lon­ don, 1975). The settlement ofthe Visigoths and Burgundians has been discussed by E. A. Thompson, 'The Settlement ofthe Barbarians in Southern Gaul' ,Journal ofRoman Studies, XLVI (1956) pp. 65-75, 'The Barbarian Kingdoms in Gaul and Spain', Nottingham 212 BIBLIOGRAPHIES Medieval Studies, VII (1963) pp. 3-33, and 'The Visigoths from Fritigern to Euric', Historia, XII (1963) pp. 105-26; by J. M. Wallace-Hadrill, 'Gothia and Romania', in his The Long-Haired Kings (London, 1962); and by W. Goffart, Barbarians and Romans, A.D. 418-584. The Techniques of Accommodation (Princeton, 1980). For Frankish settlement, see C. Verlinden, 'Frankish Colonisation: a New Ap­ proach', T. R. H. S., 5th ser., IV (1954) pp. 1-17;J. M. Wallace-Hadrill, The Long-Haired Kings, pp: 148-63; and E. James, 'Cemeteries and the Problem ofFrankish Settlement in Gaul', in P. H. Sawyer, ed., Names, Words and Graves: Early Medieval Settlement (Leeds, 1979) pp. 55-89. For the Bretons, see N. K. Chadwick, 'The Colonization ofBrittany from Celtic Britain', P. B. A., LI (1965) pp. 235-99; her Early Brittany (Cardiff, 1969); and the artic1e of the same title by J. L. Fleuriot and P. Giot, Antiquity, LI (1977) pp. 106-16. (b) The Merovingian period J. M. Wallace-Hadrill, The Long-Haired Kings, provides a study ofthe kings in his title­ essay: there are also important studies on Gregory ofTours and Fredegar. On Gregory see below, A6-b, and G. de Nie, 'Roses inJanuary: a Neglected Dimension in Gregory ofTours' Historiae, U. M. H., V (1979) pp. 259-89; on Fredegar, see W. Goffart, 'The Fredegar Problem Reconsidered', Speculum, XXXVIII (1963) pp. 206-41. An old­ fashioned but entertaining study drawing heavily on Gregory is Sir Samuel Dill's Roman Society in Gaul in the Merovingian Age (London, 1926).

Since , Brittany was re-established as a Sovereign Duchy with somewhat definite borders, administered by Dukes of Breton houses from to , before falling into the sphere of influence of the Plantagenets and then the Capets. Saint-Brieuc Main article: Duchy of Brittany. In the camp was closed and the French military decided to incorporate the remaining 19, Breton soldiers into the 2nd Army of the Loire. In Vannes , there was an unfavorable attitude towards the Revolution with only of the city's population of 12, accepting the new constitution. Prieur sought to implement the authority of the Convention by arresting suspected counter-revolutionaries, removing the local authorities of Brittany, and making speeches. The rulers of Domnonia such as Conomor sought to expand their territory including holdings in British Devon and Cornwall , claiming overlordship over all Bretons, though there was constant tension between local lords. It is therefore a strategic choice as a case study of some of the processes associated with the emergence of mass tourism, and the effects of this kind of tourism development on local populations. The first unified Duchy of Brittany was founded by Nominoe. This book was the world's first trilingual dictionary, the first Breton dictionary and also the first French dictionary. However, he provides less extensive access to how ordinary Breton inhabitants participated in the making of Breton tourism. And herein lies the central dilemma that Young explores in this impressive, deeply researched study of the development of regional tourism in Brittany.

  • The Faces of History. the Imagined Portraits of the Merovingian Kings at Versailles (1837-1842)

    The Faces of History. the Imagined Portraits of the Merovingian Kings at Versailles (1837-1842)

    The faces of history. The imagined portraits of the Merovingian kings at Versailles (1837-1842) Margot Renard, University of Grenoble ‘One would expect people to remember the past and imagine the future. But in fact, when discoursing or writing about history, they imagine it in terms of their own experience, and when trying to gauge the future they cite supposed analogies from the past; till, by a double process of repeti- tion, they imagine the past and remember the future’. (Namier 1942, 70) The historian Christian Amalvi observes that during the first half of the nine- teenth century, most of the time history books presented a ‘succession of dyn- asties (Merovingians, Carolingians, Capetians), an endless row of reigns put end to end (those of the ‘rois fainéants’1 and of the last Carolingians especially), without any hierarchy, as a succession of fanciful portraits of monarchs, almost interchangeable’ (Amalvi 2006, 57). The Merovingian kings’ portraits, exhib- ited in the Museum of French History at the palace of Versailles, could be de- scribed similarly: they represent a succession of kings ‘put end to end’, with imagined ‘fanciful’ appearances, according to Amalvi. However, this vision dis- regards their significance for early nineteenth-century French society. Replac- ing these portraits in the broader context of contemporary history painting, they appear characteristic of a shift in historical apprehension. The French history painting had slowly drifted away from the great tradition established by Jacques-Louis David’s moralistic and heroic vision of ancient history. The 1820s saw a new formation of the historical genre led by Paul De- laroche's sentimental vision and attention to a realistic vision of history, restored to picturesqueness.

    Regarding Dethroned Princely Houses and Their Legal Rights

    Regarding dethroned princely Houses and their legal rights Reference is made to the decision of the United Court of Bari of the 1st April 1952 in the case of the prosecutor vs. Umberto Zambrini and to the decision of the Tribunal of Pistoia of the 5th June 1964 in the case of the appeal against the penal judgment given against Francesco Mario Paternò Castello having found Prince Francesco Mario Paternò Castello di Carcaci, in his capacity as the last representative of a sovereign dynasty (the Royal House of Aragon), entitled to confer titles of nobility (the Court of Bari), respectively being the heir to the House of Paternò Castello Guttadauro di Emmanuel and legitimate holder of the same family’s rights, including the power of ius honorum which has been preserved by family tradition and which cannot disappear through dethronement (Pistoia). Further reference is made to the decision of the Ordinary Tribunal of Ragusa of the 9th May 2003, in session as an international court of arbitration, in the case between the Higher Institute of Nobiliary Law vs. Francesco Nicola Roberto Paternò Castello di Carcaci. According to the findings of the court of arbitration the following rights belong to Francesco Nicola Roberto Paternò Castello di Carcaci, in his capacity as consanguineous and descendant in a collateral line of the last sovereign of the Royal House of Aragon as his legitimate successor and as pretender to the throne: a) the quality of Royal Highness and Royal Prince of the Royal House of Aragon, Majorca and Sicily; b) the right to designate

  • Introduction the GSR : REDON ’S IDEALS and REALITIES

    Introduction the GSR : REDON ’S IDEALS and REALITIES

    Rutger Kramer – RMA Thesis – Monastic Ideals and the Use of the Bible in the GSR – 2007 Introduction THE GSR : REDON ’S IDEALS AND REALITIES Once upon a time, in the region that is nowadays known as Brittany, in the north-west of France, there lived a powerful nobleman whose name was Haelwocon. If this man, close advisor of the ruler of the land, had but one vice, it was his dependence on the lazy and luxurious lifestyle he had grown accustomed to. Haelwocon was a slave to his belly. He also was a drinker of wine beyond measure, and to make matters even worse, he refused to take advice from anybody when he was reproached, and he just laughed when called upon to mend his erroneous ways. In doing this, he opened himself up to attacks by demons, and only after such an attack had finally happened did he repent. Tormented by convulsions, he ordered his servants to tie him up and bring him to the nearest monastery, where he hoped he might find solace. Indeed, he did. Through the prayers of the monks, the demons were expelled from his body, “and from that day he took care to mend his ways and lead a sober life, and revere the holy place”. The story of Haelwocon is a story of redemption that has been written down in the Gesta Sanctorum Rotonensium ( GSR ), a ninth-century work that tells about origins and rise to prominence of the monastery of Redon, its first abbot, and the first generation of monks. 1 As such, it is no surprise that, in this anecdote, the monastery the hapless aristocrat asks to be brought to, is indeed Redon.

    Prudentius of Troyes (d. 861) and the Reception of the Patristic Tradition in the Carolingian Era by Jared G. Wielfaert A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Jared Wielfaert 2015 Prudentius of Troyes (d. 861) and the Reception of the Patristic Tradition in the Carolingian Era Jared Gardner Wielfaert Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2015 ABSTRACT: This study concerns Prudentius, bishop of Troyes (861), a court scholar, historian, and pastor of the ninth century, whose extant corpus, though relatively extensive, remains unstudied. Born in Spain in the decades following the Frankish conquest of the Spanish march, Prudentius had been recruited to the Carolingian court under Louis the Pious, where he served as a palace chaplain for a twenty year period, before his eventual elevation to the see of Troyes in the 840s. With a career that moved from the frontier to the imperial court center, then back to the local world of the diocese and environment of cathedral libraries, sacred shrines, and local care of souls, the biography of Prudentius provides a frame for synthesis of several prevailing currents in the cultural history of the Carolingian era. His personal connections make him a rare link between the generation of the architects of the Carolingian reforms (Theodulf and Alcuin) and their students (Rabanus Maurus, Prudentius himself) and the great period of fruition of which the work of John Scottus Eriugena is the most widely recogized example. His involvement in the mid-century theological controversy over the doctrine of predestination illustrates the techniques and methods, as well as the concerns and preoccupations, of Carolingian era scholars engaged in the consolidation and interpretation of patristic opinion, particularly, that of Augustine.

It covered approximately the present France and Germany, but during several wars the area changed constantly. Also different areas were split up among sons and other relatives and favorites. After Charlemagne France and Germany were established as separate countries. This presentation begins where the myth turns into history and ends with Charlemagne .

Yaniv Fox IMAGE OF KINGS PAST The Gibichung Legacy in Post-Conquest Burgundy In the fnal chapter of the Chronicle of Fredegar, we read of an incident involving a patrician named Willebad. This was a convoluted affair, which concluded – the best Merovingian stories usually do – with a dramatic bloodletting1. As the story goes, in 643 Floachad, the newly appointed mayor of Burgundy decided to orchestrate the downfall of Willebad. The chronicler, who, we gather, was somewhat hostile to the Burgundian patrician, reasoned that Willebad had become »very rich by seizing the properties of a great many people by one means or another. Seemingly overcome with pride because of his position of patrician and his huge possessions, he was puffed up against Floachad and tried to belittle him«2. The logic behind this enmity seems quite straightforward, and not very different in fact from any of the other episodes that fll the pages of the Chronicle of Fredegar.

Yaniv Fox IMAGE OF KINGS PAST The Gibichung Legacy in Post-Conquest Burgundy In the final chapter of the Chronicle of Fredegar, we read of an incident involving a patrician named Willebad. This was a convoluted affair, which concluded – the best Merovingian stories usually do – with a dramatic bloodletting1. As the story goes, in 643 Floachad, the newly appointed mayor of Burgundy decided to orchestrate the downfall of Willebad. The chronicler, who, we gather, was somewhat hostile to the Burgundian patrician, reasoned that Willebad had become »very rich by seizing the properties of a great many people by one means or another. Seemingly overcome with pride because of his position of patrician and his huge possessions, he was puffed up against Floachad and tried to belittle him«2. The logic behind this enmity seems quite straightforward, and not very different in fact from any of the other episodes that fill the pages of the Chronicle of Fredegar.
