Letters, gifts and messengers. The epistolary strategies of St Radegund
This article studies the ways the sixth‐century queen and monastic founder Radegund ( c. 520–87) managed the non‐textual elements of communication by letter. While Radegund’s role as a writer and commissioner of letters has been well studied, her efforts as an orchestrator of letter deliveries, gift exchanges and other associated acts of public communication remain under‐explored. Drawing on two Merovingian hagiographies, one written c. 590–600 b…

By studying Gregory’s narrative descriptions of letters this article seeks to shed new light on three aspects of Merovingian epistolary culture that have proved difficult to approach solely thr…
