Merovingian Medicine Between Practical Art and Philosophy
This essay offers a new examination of medical knowledge in Merovingian Gaul (c. 500–c.750), the ways that it became part of non-specialized learning, and its continuities with Carolingian medicine. In most histories of medicine, the Merovingian world is portrayed as providing a hostile environment for medicine due to the Christianization of knowledge. A significant problem, however, is that there has been no study of what medicine was known or h…
M atthew B ryan G illis . Heresy and Dissent in the Carolingian Empire
In this important and welcome study, Heresy and Dissent in the Carolingian Empire: The Case of Gottschalk of Orbais, Matthew Bryan Gillis provides the first focused analysis of the disputes surrounding the ninth-century Carolingian heretic Gottschalk of Orbais. Gottschalk was a rarity in the Carolingian world, as most heretics were distant in time or space to the political and religious centers of Northern Europe. Studies of him, however, have te…
Early Medieval Hagiography
Sinnstiftungen eines Rechtsbuchs
The Lex Salica is an important and surprising Late Antique legal text. Composed in Gaul, in Latin, shortly after the end of the Western Roman Empire, and surviving in 54 early manuscripts, it has long been at the centre of debates about the nature of non-Roman or Germanic society in a period of dramatic change. This, unsurprisingly, means that it brings much historiographical baggage with it. From one side, German legal history was long dominated…

The Otherness of Non-Christians in the Early Middle Ages
Non-Christian ‘others’ were crucial to the definition of early medieval Christendom. Many groups certainly found it important to generate a sense of belonging through shared practice, history and ideals. But the history of Christianity was a story of conflict, which from the very beginning saw a community of believers struggling against Jews and ‘pagan’ Romans. At the end, too, Christ warned there would be ‘false prophets’ and tribulations, and J…

Rimbert's Vita Anskarii and Scandinavian Mission in the Ninth Century
The idea of converting Scandinavia to Christianity had been enthusiastically pursued by the Emperor Louis the Pious and Archbishop Ebbo of Rheims in the 820s. Optimism such as theirs was, however, not to last, and little progress was made between the death of Archbishop Rimbert of Hamburg-Bremen in 888 and the conversion of Harald Bluetooth a century later. This article examines how Rimbert wrote a saint's Life about Anskar, his predecessor and ‘…
