    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.

Die vermißte Klarheit zu schaffen, traue auch ich mir in diesem kurzen Beitrag nicht zu; vielmehr habe ich nichts weiter anzubieten als einige Randbemerkungen zu den teilweise verblüffenden Wendungen, die die For- schungsdiskussion in den letzten Jahren genommen hat. Wer nach dem Ursprung des karolingischen Kaisertums sucht, kommt kaum umhin, zunächst Karl den Großen (samt seiner gelehrten Umgebung) in den Blick zu fassen, stand er doch im Mittelpunkt der Feierlichkeiten in St. Peter und gewann dabei einen Zuwachs an Respekt und Selbstvertrauen, den er in den folgenden Jahren spürbar zur Geltung gebracht hat.2 Ein unmißverständliches Zeugnis für seinen Drang nach dem Kaisertum aus der Zeit vor 800 fehlt allerdings, und so wirkt seit jeher die Suggestion, die von Einhards Behandlung des Vorgangs ausgeht.

The Character of Borna’s Polity in Early-Ninth-Century Dalmatia Denis Alimov Borna’s polity, attested by Frankish sources on the territory of the former Roman province of Dalmatia in the first quarter of the 9th century, is traditionally considered to be the cradle of early medieval Croatian state. Meanwhile, the exact character of this polity and the way it was linked with the Croats as an early medieval gens remain obscure in many respects. I argue that Borna’s ducatus consisted of two political entities, the Croat polity proper, with its heartland in the region of Knin, and a small chiefdom of the Guduscani in the region of Gacka. Borna was the chief of the Croats, a group of people that gradually developed into an ethnic unit under the leadership of a Christianized military elite.. For all that, the process of the stabilization of the Croats’ group identity originally connected with the social structures of Pax Avarica and its transformation into what can be called gentile identity was very durable, the rate of the process being considerably slower than the formation of supralocal political organization in Dalmatia.

  • Conquest and Colonization in the Early Middle Ages: the Carolingians and Saxony, C
    Conquest and Colonization in the Early Middle Ages: The Carolingians and Saxony, c. 751–842 by Christopher Thomas Landon A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Christopher Thomas Landon 2017 Conquest and Colonization in the Early Middle Ages: The Carolingians and Saxony, c. 751–842 Christopher Thomas Landon Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2017 Abstract This thesis reconsiders longstanding questions regarding the economic and ideological forces that drove Frankish expansion into Saxony in the late eighth and early ninth centuries, Frankish strategies of rule in the newly conquered region, and the effects of conquest and cultural disposession on the Saxons themselves. Specifically, the dissertation seeks to present a new interpretation of this critical historical episode as a process of colonization. After an introduction that briefly outlines various conceptions and definitions of colonization and how these apply to the early medieval period, chapter one provides an overview of the main Latin and Old Saxon sources regarding Saxony and the Saxons in the Carolingian period from the coronation of Pippin III to the suppression of the Saxon Stellinga uprising in 842. The chapter emphasizes the tendentious nature of these sources and the ways in which they reflect the perspective of the colonizer while obscuring the experiences of the colonized. Chapter two looks at the ideological justifications for the conquest advanced in the Frankish primary sources, arguing that the Franks’ forcible Christianization of the Saxons was driven in part by the Carolingian dynasty’s increasingly close ties with the papacy and by ancient imperial prerogatives regarding the extension of the faith.

  • Scandinavian Way of Communication with the Carolingians and the Ottonians
    Scandinavian way of communication with the Carolingians and the Ottonians Minoru OZAWA Nagoya University 1. Problems in determining the methods used to communicate between continental Europe and Scandinavia in the early Middle Ages The Spoleto Symposium, held in 2004, was remarkable for the fact that attending historians discussed certain problems of communication in the early middle ages.1 Since the 19th century, linguists and philologists have expanded our knowledge of medieval forms of communication,2 but the proceedings of the Symposium were still able to shed new light on some aspects of how languages functioned in a historical context. Regrettably, however, no articles devoted to Scandinavian cases were published in the proceedings. Why were Scandinavian cases excluded whenever any problems of communication in the early middle ages were discussed? Some reasons are immediately obvious. First, the Scandinavians communicated with each other in a different language from many other European cultures at this time. What we now call ‘Old Norse’ was the common language throughout Scandinavia at that time.3 Since it is one of the North Germanic languages, the Scandinavians could—by and large— make themselves understood to those who used Old English or Old German, whereas they had more difficulty in communicating with those who used Romance languages. Second, the Scandinavians used a different script to the Latin alphabet. Their own alphabet was runic, and is now known as the ‘futhark’. According to a recent study, the runes were created in the territory between the Roman world and the Germanic one somewhere around the first or second century CE.4 The futhark consisted of 24 letters up until the eighth century, when the number of the letters drastically decreased to 16.5 Third, no contemporary written documents have been transmitted to the present day.
