Early Medieval Medicine
Thanks to the work of several generations of scholars, there has never been a greater interest in early medieval medicine. Yet the field, which continues to be largely manuscript-based given the sheer number of unedited texts, remains tethered to two now-outdated manuscript catalogues that collectively record 225 Latin manuscripts containing medical writings produced before ca. 1100. The Corpus of Early Medieval Latin Medicine ( CEMLM ) has recen…

Medieval Divination by Unexpected Incidents
This article explores a little-known prognostic table, the so-called Tabula Salomonis , in its four oldest Latin manuscript witnesses from between ca. 1000 and 1300. Unusually for Latin prognostic texts, the table employs unexpected incidents such as animal sounds, sneezes, and bodily twitches combined with the signs of the zodiac as its starting point. Interestingly, the sources for the Tabula , a series of Late Antique texts from which the auth…

The Carolingian local ecclesia as a ‘temple society’
This article assesses the question to what extent the model of a ‘temple society’ can be fruitfully employed as a tool of analysis for the Carolingian ecclesia , by which we mean not only the rich, well‐endowed churches, but also the small, local ones. An investigation of the many different forms of ecclesiastical land‐holding, and of the various functions a church and its ministers did (and did not) fulfil for early medieval Christians, shows th…
La nature et le roi
That the inhabitants of the Frankish kingdoms in the later eighth and early ninth centuries were regularly hit by famines is not news to anybody who has read the chronicles and histories of the period. In this book, Jean-Pierre Devroey takes four of these famines as his starting-point for a wide-ranging exploration that takes the reader to sometimes surprising fields of neighbouring research (entomology, dendrochronology, Napoleonic France). Unli…
Ut missarum preces bene intellegant . The Dominus vobiscum , a Carolingian Mass Commentary for the Education of Priests
This article discusses the anonymous, late eighth century mass commentary Dominus vobiscum which was written to educate priests. It presents new findings about the text, its transmission throughout the Middle Ages and its manuscripts, and does so in order to emphasise the importance of anonymous texts for the study of Carolingian culture. Texts such as the Dominus vobiscum were at the heart of all efforts to educate clergy and people, and deserve…
Writing the Early Medieval West
The story of the Christian 'new martyrs' of the early Islamic period is thus a fascinating and important one for the religious history of the Middle East.It may, however, be a source of some present comfort that 'the new martyrs of the early medieval period are all but invisible in the spiritual life of most Middle Eastern churches' (p.249) today

Pastoral Care and Prognostics in the Carolingian Period. The Case of El Escorial, Real Biblioteca di San Lorenzo, ms L III 8
This article tries to answer the question of what prognostic texts, often interpreted as ‘superstitious’ or even ‘pagan’, might be doing in a pastoral compendium of the Carolingian period. Rather than following the classical interpretation of prognostics as texts that belonged outside Christendom, it argues that, to the contrary, such texts fit in very well in a context of early medieval pastoral care and trustworthy Christian knowledge. What cou…
Manuscripts for local priests and the Carolingian reforms
Correcting sinners, correcting texts
This article presents the preliminary results of an investigation into the history of the Penitential of Pseudo‐Theodore. It outlines the text's manu‐script history, the scope of its contents, and its sources, arguing that it was a comprehensive, systematic collection. It also reconsiders the evidence for when and where it was composed, suggesting it was probably written in north‐eastern France or the eastern Rhineland in the 820s or 830s
