The Cartulary of the Abbey of Mont-Saint-Michel
This book, well printed on solid paper, contains an edition of the earliest and most important cartulary to survive from the extensive archive of one of the best-known monasteries in northern Europe. Most of it has never been published before, although parts have interested both historians and art historians. The five plates will engage the latter especially, even though they are all rather dark, showing a beautifully written text, with which it …
Christina of Markyate
THIS substantial book, adorned with an attractive cover, and eight coloured plates from the Psalter associated with Christina, would undoubtedly have astonished her. Sixteen scholars from the English-speaking world write about a woman scarcely recalled anywhere after she died, until, in 1895, Goldschmidt wrote about the Psalter now in Hildesheim. Yet, knowledge about her only spread widely after two books appeared in 1959 and 1960—Talbot's editio…

Were The Sermons Of St Bernard On The Song Of Songs Ever Preached?
The past and monastic debate in the time of Bernard of Clairvaux
The period from the earlier decades of the eleventh century to the middle of the twelfth is characterized by a number of great debates on subjects which arose out of some of the most significant aspects of the institutions of the time. There was the struggle, that between kingdoms and priesthood, or empire and papacy as it has sometimes misleadingly been called, reflected in the huge folio volumes simply entitled Libelli de Lite . At a rather rar…

An Airier Aristocracy’
I want to plunge into my subject by adopting that practice well known to our medieval predecessors, namely to use an exemplum , because at once it transports us into the heart of the problem to be addressed. The event is recounted by Orderic Vitalis in Book Six of his Ecclesiastical History , and describes the practice of a Norman priest called Gerold who served in the household of the great earl of Chester Hugh of Avranches (1071–1101). Gerold w…

The Inheritance of Historiography 350–900
To what extent did the historians of the early Middle Ages inherit the aims and methods of Greek and Roman historiography? How far were they influenced by classical conventions about literary genre, rhetorical technique, and political subject-matter? A conference held in Exeter in 1985 brought together a number of distinguished scholars to discuss these questions. This book presents nine of the contributions, on representative authors from the fo…
Ideas and Reality
The track to be explored in this paper was laid down when I realised how relatively unexamined the actual working out of Christian ideas about war within the medieval period is. Recent years have seen appear a notable book about the development of ideas on the Just War, and a great deal of work on the role of the military aristocracy and on its ideals, but upon the coming together of Christianity and actual events there seemed to me very little, …

The blessings of work
Around 1180 Conrad of Eberbach writing about the history of his own order, the cistercian, noticed that it had been founded the year before Jerusalem was freed from the saracens and close to the beginning of the Carthusian and premonstratensian orders. This seemed to him a significant cluster of events, for as the holy city was restored to the Christians, so the orders of monks, hermits and canons were being brought back to their old and proper w…

John of Ford and English Cistercian Writing 1167–1214
Cistercian writing produced in the half-century after the death of Ailred of Rievaulx seems in comparison with that of the earlier generation unattractive and undistinguished. This impression is, however, largely caused by the lack of any one figure comparable with the abbot of Rievaulx who might arrest our attention and then stimulate an appreciation of the whole scene. In addition, the brightness coming from that great light, to adopt a figure …
