It was decided at the beginning that the conferences would have the specic theme of cultural transmission across and within the Norman worlds and that they would be interdisciplinary in approach. e organizers are grateful to Ortensio Zecchino for all the support he has given to the conferences and to the sta of the Centro Europeo di Studi Normanni for making the time spent there such an enjoyable one. e conference at Emmanuel College received nancial support from the Master and Fellows of Emmanuel College, from the Trevelyan Fund of the Faculty of History of the University of Cambridge, and from the School of History of the University of East Anglia. We must express our warmest thanks to Dr. Helen Carron and Dr. Julie Barrau for the organization of an exhibition of the medieval manuscripts of Emmanuel College in the College Library, to Professor Sir John Baker for allowing us to exhibit a selection of his horse harness pendants on the same occasion, and to Emily Ward who as a student assistant helped enormously with the logistics of the Cambridge conference. ere were several scholars who contributed papers or talks to the two conferences but who, for various reasons, were unable to include them in the published volume. ey are David Abulaa, Julie Barrau, Armando Bisanti, Errico Cuozzo, Lindy Grant, Tom Licence, Giuseppe Mastrominico, Paul Oldeld, Anna Laura Trombetti, and Jolando Ventura, all of whom played their part in making the conferences such friendly and stimulating occasions. Our nal thanks must be to Professor Lawrence Goldman and Professor Jane Winters for ensuring that this remarkable trilingual volume would be accepted for publication by the Institute of Historical Research in an appropriate form and to Julie Spraggon, Emily Morrell, and Jessica Davies Porter for their exemplary editorial work. Finally, many thanks to Derwin Gregory for his help in preparing the index. vii List of contributors S J B is Emeritus Downing Professor of the Laws of England at the University of Cambridge, and writes on legal history.
