After the Feudal Revolution
The 11th century stands as the watershed between the »early« and »high« Middle Ages. Exactly what this means is hotly debated by historians, but at some point between the 10th and 12th centuries, the Carolingian World had changed into a political, social, and economic order distinctly different from earlier centuries, a world of knights, castles, and cities. Historians have discussed the nature of these transformations under the label of a mediev…
Qualifying Mediterranean connectivity
In the last two decades, historians researching the seventh century ce have increasingly emphasized mobility, communications and connectivity across the Mediterranean world that supposedly included close contacts between the Franks and Byzantium. These studies, however, rely often on optimistic, maximum interpretations of the comparatively sparse source base, and have not always precisely distinguished between different forms of mobility and conn…
Germanische Altertumskunde im Wandel
The 100 th volume of the series Reallexikon der Germanischen Altertumskunde – Ergänzungsbände presents 18 papers from over 150 years of research on the history and culture of the Germanic peoples. The selected papers had a considerable influence on future academic debate, and thus mark watershed moments in the discipline. This first part comprises six historiographical and six archaeological contributions
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…
Vulnerabilität / La vulnérabilité
Von ihren Anfängen her ist die Vulnerabilitätsforschung stark durch eine gegenwarts- und anwendungsbezogene Orientierung geprägt. Die historisch arbeitenden Disziplinen haben das analytische Potential der verschiedenen Vulnerabilitätskonzepte dagegen bisher kaum erprobt. Die geschichtswissenschaftlichen, literarhistorischen und rhetorischen Beiträge des Bandes fragen danach, was eine solche Perspektive zum Verständnis von kulturellen und sozialen…
Capitularies in the Ottonian realm
This essay is a study of the transmission and later use of Carolingian capitularies. Issued in the ninth century, in a number of cases these documents are known to us only through copies made in the tenth century, in the Ottonian empire. The goal of the study is to prompt a rethinking of the contrast often drawn between the text‐based legal culture of the Carolingian empire and the supposedly oral and ritual culture of Ottonian rule. A survey of …
Der König als Alleinherrscher?
Men in the Middle
This volume studies local priests as central players in small communities of early medieval Europe. On the one hand, manuscript evidence shows their knowledge, expertise and potential to teach, whereas charter collections shed light on local priests as active members of networks of the locally powerful. By combining both approaches and covering most of early medieval Europe, this book is the first to offer a comprehensive overview of the subject.

Laughing at a saint? Miracle and irony in the Vita Gangulfi prima
This article examines the Vita Gangulfi prima , a text which was frequently copied and widely circulated in the Middle Ages. It argues that the text can be understood as an ironic discourse on miracle stories in hagiographical texts: the central message of the Vita is that meek and penitential living leads to sanctity, and not the enjoyment of stories about miracles. At the same time, the Vita presents the reader to some extent with a performance…
Human Security, fragile Staatlichkeit und Governance im Frühmittelalter
For a long time, medievalists have discussed whether there were states in medieval Europe or not. German medievalists have got used to the idea that the political order of medieval societies is not to be analyzed in terms of state, security, or governance. The article argues that we should not push the medieval orders aside as "premodern", "strange", or "alien". Instead, the current shifts concerning the concepts of state, nation and security pro…
