The Politics of Booklists
High medieval booklists are routinely interpreted as administrative sources that existed to inventory book collections, somewhat similar to present-day library catalogues. Historians, however, have found them curiously unreliable and impractical. A case study of the Benedictine monastery of St. Laurent in Liège suggests a different approach to booklists. The thirteenth-century St. Laurent booklist was used, I argue in this article, to position th…
Medieval Liège at the Crossroads of Europe
During the high Middle Ages, the bishopric of Liège found itself at a cultural crossroads between the German Empire and the French lordships. The Liègeois themselves argued that “Gaul considers us its most distant inhabitants, Germany as nearby citizens. In fact we are neither, but both at the same time,” and the same idea echoes in the work of present-day historians who have described Liège as an interesting “point de rencontre et pénétration de…
Medieval Liège at the crossroads of Europe
This volume collects studies on the role of monastic institutions in the exchange of cultural and socio-economic capital in the medieval diocese of Liège. 0During the high Middle Ages, the bishopric of Liège found itself at a cultural crossroads between the German Empire and the French lordships.

Reconsidering Benedictine manuscript production in the thirteenth century
La production de manuscrits par les moines bénédictins au xiii e siècle dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux a été peu étudiée jusqu'à présent. Cet article traite cette question complexe à partir du cas de l'abbaye de Stavelot-Malmédy. Il s'agit d'un monastère qui possédait déjà une bibliothèque fournie au xii e siècle, mais dont on ne dispose pas de catalogue aux xiii e et xiv e siècle. Il semble que la production a fortement baissé au cours du xiii e …
From Scandal to Monastic Penance
An important element of monastic penance and conflict resolution was its repetitive, almost cyclical nature. The manuscripts that were used during these performances often proceed implicitly, which makes them difficult to contextualize and understand. This article considers a possible example of such "hidden" reconciliatory discourse in a manuscript that was produced for the congregation of St. Laurent in Liège around the turn of the eleventh cen…
Manuscript Layout and Réécriture. A Reconstruction of the Manuscript Tradition of the Vita Secunda Gisleni
Cet article examine les interactions entre le texte et sa mise en page dans quelques écrits hagiographiques des Pays-Bas méridionaux durant le Haut Moyen Âge. La base de cette analyse est la Vita secunda Gisleni, dont une première version (A), écrite vers l’an Mil, a servi de base à une version B vers 1035. Du point de vue du texte, les différences entre les deux versions de la Vita secunda (A et B) ne sont pas très importantes. Par contre, les t…
