L’objet de cet ouvrage collectif est d’envisager la civilisation carolingienne dans tous ses aspects: chaque auteur a eu, sur le sujet de son choix, la pleine liberté, soit de se cantonner à dresser un bilan exhaustif de l’état de la recherche, soit d’allier bilan et perspectives nouvelles en proposant ses propres hypothèses ou pistes de recherches. Les thèmes abordés sont d’une grande diversité: idéologie, conception, pratiques et lieux du pouvoir, liturgie, vie monastique, esprit missionnaire, hiérarchie et mobilité sociale, relations entre le roi et les élites du royaume, laïques et ecclésiastiques. Sans couvrir tout l’espace carolingien, les contributions présentes dans ce livre nous conduisent de Rome vers Aix et Saint-Gall, de l’Italie lombarde vers le cœur du vieux pays franc, de la Saxe vers le pays avar et jusqu’au monde scandinave. Sans couvrir tout le temps carolingien, elles concernent aussi bien les origines de la dynastie, voire l’héritage idéologique, politique ou religieux des deux siècles précédents, que les quatre générations qui suivent le règne de Pépin et les années crépusculaires.

Literary historians, paleographers and historians use case studies to discuss ways in which an approach based on the history of transmission can be expanded using aspects from the history of reception and from intermediality to penetrate the literary and cultural relief of a landscape, its 'cultural topography'. The studies are based primarily on extant manuscripts and their life in various historical and institutional contexts in the south-west German language area in the 14th century.

"Here is a fresh, provocative look at how a recognizable Europe came into being in the first millennium AD. With sharp analytic insight, Peter Heather explores the dynamics of migration and social and economic interaction that changed two vastly different worlds--the undeveloped barbarian world and the sophisticated Roman Empire--into remarkably similar societies and states. The book's vivid narrative begins at the time of Christ, when the Mediterranean circle, newly united under the Romans, hosted a politically sophisticated, economically advanced, and culturally developed civilization--one with philosophy, banking, professional armies, literature, stunning architecture, even garbage collection. The rest of Europe, meanwhile, was home to subsistence farmers living in small groups, dominated largely by Germanic speakers. Although having some iron tools and weapons, these mostly illiterate peoples worked mainly in wood and never built in stone. The farther east one went, the simpler it became: fewer iron tools and ever less productive economies. And yet ten centuries later, from the Atlantic to the Urals, the European world had turned. Slavic speakers had largely superseded Germanic speakers in central and Eastern Europe, literacy was growing, Christianity had spread, and most fundamentally, Mediterranean supremacy was broken. The emergence of larger and stronger states in the north and east had, by the year 1000, brought patterns of human organization into much greater homogeneity across the continent. Barbarian Europe was barbarian no longer. Bringing the whole of first millennium European history together for the first time, and challenging current arguments that migration played but a tiny role in this unfolding narrative, Empires and Barbarians views the destruction of the ancient world order in the light of modern migration and globalization patterns. The result is a compelling, nuanced, and integrated view of how the foundations of modern Europe were laid"--Provided by publisher. "At the start of the first millennium AD, southern and western Europe formed part of the Mediterranean-based Roman Empire, the largest state western Eurasia has ever known, and was set firmly on a trajectory towards towns, writing, mosaics, and central heating. Central, northern and eastern Europe was home to subsistence farmers, living in wooden houses with mud floors, whose largest political units weighed in at no more than a few thousand people. By the year 1000, Mediterranean domination of the European landscape had been destroyed. Instead of one huge Empire facing loosely organized subsistence farmers, Europe - from the Atlantic almost to the Urals - was home to an interacting commonwealth of Christian states, many of which are still with us today. This book tells the story of the transformations which changed western Eurasia forever: of the birth of Europe itself"--Provided by publisher.
