Jinty Nelson in Thirteen Articles
This collection gathers thirteen contributions by a number of historians, friends, colleagues and/or students of Jinty’s, who were asked to pick their favourite article by her and say a few words about it for an event held in her memory on 15 January 2025 at King’s College London. We offer this collection in print now for a wider audience not so much because it has any claim to be exhaustive or authoritative, but because taken all together these …
Vidracco, Braone, and San Lorenzo: Recruitment or dilectio
This paper is a study of three solidus hoards located at strategic passages through the Italian Alps. It is argued that the hoards are connected to barbarian mercenaries in Roman service. The hoards are analysed and compared to historical sources and solidus hoards from Scandinavia. It is argued that it may be possible to distinguish between hoards that contain solidi used to pay for barbarian recruits and hoards that are proof of dilectio, bonus…
Jonas of Bobbio and the Representation of Germanic Paganism
Bien que Jonas de Bobbio se réfère au culte de Wodan, il est le premier auteur à le faire. Des preuves antérieures suggèrent que les peuples barbares de la Rhénanie et du Haut-Danube n’adoraient pas le panthéon germanique de Wodan, Thor, Tiw et Freya, mais révéraient plutôt des divinités comme les deae matres, mais aussi les dieux de Rome. Les déclarations de nos sources relatives à des Francs adorateurs de Jupiter, Mercure, Mars et Vénus sont so…
The cult of saints in the south-east of Gaul in the fifth and sixth centuries
The Uses and Abuses of the Barbarian Invasions in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
The Cambridge History of Christianity: Volume 3, Early Medieval Christianities, c.600-c.1100 (Cambridge History of Christianity)
The key focus of this book is the vitality and dynamism of all aspects of Christian experience from late antiquity to the First Crusade. By putting the institutional and doctrinal history firmly in the context of Christianity's many cultural manifestations and lived formations everywhere from Afghanistan to Iceland, this volume of The Cambridge History of Christianity emphasizes the ever-changing, varied expressions of Christianity at both local …
Conversing with the Saints: Communication in Pre-Carolingian Hagiography from Auxerre
Auxerre boasts a particularly fine tradition of hagiographical writing in the early middle ages, which culminated in the Gesta Pontificum Autissiodorensium of Alagus and Rainogala, written between 873 and 875, and the exactly contemporary Vita Germani metrica of Heric. Van Egmond, in what is essentially a revised version of his doctoral thesis, attempts to trace the hagiography which led up to these works, concentrating on the issue of communicat…
Northumbria, 500–1100: Creation and Destruction of a Kingdom
Northumbria, 500–1100: Creation and Destruction of a Kingdom. By DAVID ROLLASON (Cambridge: Cambridge U.P., 2003; pp. xiv + 339. £55). THE history of Anglo-Saxon and Viking-Age Northumbria makes an attractive subject. In recent years it has already prompted a number of books. The most obvious competitor to Rollason's is N.J. Higham, The Kingdom of Northumbria, AD 350–1100 (1993) (rev. ante, cxi (1996), 405–6). It is never cited by Rollason, perha…
Die Dynastiewechsel von 751 und die fränkische Königssalbung
Die Dynastiewechsel von 751 und die fränkische Königssalbung, by Josef Semmler (Düsseldorf: Droste Verlag, 2003; pp. 179. Eur 16.90). This book is essentially a collection of four short essays on related themes: the elevation of Pippin III as king; the identification of those involved in his ‘election’ in 751; the liturgical and canonical context of the elevation:;and finally—thematically, but not chronologically, related to what has gone before—…
The transformation of frontiers: From late antiquity to the Carolingians
The definition and notion of frontiers changed in the process of the transformation of the Roman world. This volume goes beyond topography to explore the meaning and impact of new frontiers as they were establised. It becomes clear that the transformation of frontiers was not a linear process in which the imperial frontiers were abandoned and the means of controlling them declined, but depended on specific circumstances. Four of the contributions…
The Cambridge Ancient History
With Volume 14 The Cambridge Ancient History concludes its story. This latest volume embraces the wide range of approaches and scholarship which have in recent decades transformed our view of Late Antiquity. In particular, traditional political and social history has been enormously enhanced by integrating the rich evidence of Christian writing, and the constantly expanding results of archaeological research. A picture emerges of a period of cons…

Early Merovingian Devotion in Town and Country
Although Merovingian cities were not prepossessing they were important. Physically they straggled outside the Roman walls of the third century and divided increasingly into suburbs dependant on the great basilicas. Dijon, technically a castrum, was thought to be worthy of higher status, but its aspect was one of walls, fields, streams and mills. To be fair, urban centres throughout the middle ages possessed equally bucolic attributes. More import…
