Besides, most translations maintain the original 0 capita division. References to capita in the footnotes are indicated by 1 “c.”, followed by the number of the caput.

  • Xerox University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. I.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Origin and Early History of Double Monasteries
    ORIGIN AND EARLY HISTORY OF DOUBLE MONASTERIES. BY MISS MARY BATESON I.—INQUIRY CONCERNING THE EARLIEST EXAMPLES M. VARIN'S learned monograph ' at present stands alone as an attempt to ascertain the origin of the double monastery, or monastery for men and women. He deals with the subject incidentally as part of a thesis on the points at issue between the Breton and Roman Church, and he handles his whole theme controversially. In spite of this fact, his argument on the subject of double monasteries has met with general acceptance, for example, from Montalembert,2 Ozanam,3 Haddan,4 Professor Mayor,5 and M. Maurice Prou.6 M. Varin seeks to prove that St. Rhadegund's foundation at Poitiers was the first example of this form of organisation among the Western nations of the Continent, and that its origin is directly traceable to Irish influences. It is the object of this essay to suggest a different conclusion, to collect the evidence on the subject from the scattered sources where alone it is at present accessible, and incidentally to criticise the arguments adduced by M. Varin. It is imperative in the first place to establish a definition of the half-technical term' double monastery.'

  • The Ancestors of Charlemagne : Addenda (1990)
    The Ancestors of Charlemagne : Addenda (1990) Last December [1989] our book on Charlemagne's ancestors appeared. Our purpose was to present what is almost certain or merely hypothetical regarding the ancestry of the first Germanic emperor. However, it seems worthwhile to present some complementary information, corrections and indispensable details. Contrary to certain successful theories, knowledge in this field progresses rather quickly, so the bibliography and some hypotheses require constant revision. Moreover, the limits that were chosen at the time (the tenth generation) prevented us from fully exploring the details of certain filiations. Finally, many imperfections in the printed text will be corrected .1 I) FUNDAMENTAL CORRECTIONS As I indicated in my work, there are very few filiations of the period which are proved for many generations. We are reduced to using guesses based on surviving indications. The most convincing of these guesses are founded on onomastics, although it is necessary to exercise caution. In medieval times, the name was inherited exclusively by kinship patterns and nobody could claim a name which was not previously carried by one of his ancestors. The imprecision which can arise from the absence of fixed rules of transmission is immediately evident, so it is necessary to constantly reevaluate this kind of theory. A) Rotrude, wife of Charles Martel Regarding our book, the most important correction concerns the ancestry of Rotrude, wife of Charles Martel. Let us briefly recall the details of this problem: We can be assured from the agreement of several lines of evidence that the first wife of Charles Martel was named Rotrude, but with that name our certainty ends.
