Karl Valentin once asked: "How can it be that only as much happens as fits into the newspaper the next day?" He focussed on the problem that information of the past has to be organised, arranged and above all: selected and put into form in order to be perceived as a whole. In this sense, the process of selection must be seen as the fundamental moment – the “Urszene” – of making History. This book shows selection as highly creative act. With the richness of early medieval material it can be demonstrated that creative selection was omnipresent and took place even in unexpected text genres. The book demonstrates the variety how premodern authors dealt with "unimportant", unpleasant or unwanted past. It provides a general overview for regions and text genres in early medieval Europe.

Between Memory and Power intends to demonstrate that a robust culture of historical writing existed in 2nd/8th century Syria, and to offer new methodological approaches to access this now lost history, torn between memory and oblivion. By studying the making of Umayyad heroes or Abbasid origins-myths, this book aims to reveal the successive meanings granted to Syrian history, and to identify the various layers of historical writing and rewriting during the first centuries of Islam. Taken together, these elements make possible a history of meanings of the very space of Syria, articulated around power and its expression, which grants a clear coherence to the period, extending well beyond the dynastic caesura of 132/750.

How elite Roman families used genealogy, architecture, and the urban fabric to appropriate the city’s saints for their own Domesticating Saints in Medieval and Early Modern Rome explores the creative efforts of some of Rome’s most prominent noble families to weave themselves into Rome’s Christian past. Maya Maskarinec shows how, from late antiquity to early modernity, elite Roman families used genealogy, architecture, and the urban fabric to appropriate the city’s saints for their own, eventually claiming them as ancestors. Over the course of the Middle Ages, there developed a pronounced sense that churches and their saints belonged to specific regions, neighborhoods, and even families. These associations, coupled with a resurgent interest in Rome’s Christian antiquity as well as in noble lineages, enabled Roman families to “domesticate” the city’s saints and dominate the urban landscape and its politics into the early modern era. These families cultivated saintly genealogies and saintly topologies (exploiting, for example, the increasingly prolific identification of churches as the former residences of early Christian and late antique saints), cementing presumed connections between place, descent, and moral worth. Drawing from sources spanning the fourth to the late sixteenth century, Maskarinec brings into conversation saints’ lives, documentary evidence, family genealogies, monumental and domestic architecture, and medieval and early modern guidebooks, sources not often studied together. Bridging the divide between secular and sacred histories of Rome, Domesticating Saints in Medieval and Early Modern Rome repositions these materials within a new story, of how Romans made the city’s classical and Christian past their own and thereby empowered and immortalized their families.

In Anglophone literature, historical questions about urban, socio-economic, political, religious, and cultural development have often been answered using Anglo-French, Anglo-Low Countries, and Anglo-Italian paradigms and sources. Medieval Germany has been largely overlooked, seen as a peripheral and irrelevant anomaly. Conversely, scholars from the German Rhineland have mostly remained within the traditions of civic public history and Landesgeschichte. As a result, they rarely engage with the historical questions raised in wider European discourses. This volume challenges these historiographical propensities by offering a fresh perspective on medieval urban Germany. It aims to integrate Cologne and the Rhineland more accurately and equitably into the wider histories of medieval Europe. The book engages with historical questions of wider relevance across both German and European medieval histories. It invites all scholars and students of medieval Europe to utilize Cologne as a key source for their research and writing.

The Art of Compilation: Manuscripts and Networks in the Early Medieval Latin West interrogates the medieval manuscript book as a dynamic, constantly changing object entangled in intellectual and cultural networks, constructed and deconstructed by different people, and transmuting in form and meaning over time. Medieval manuscripts are not static, permanently bound, and delimited, but rather serve as evidence for the layered relationships between texts and their material supports, and when we realize that, we gain a clearer view of medieval manuscript culture as driven by the agency and intellectual exchange of the people behind it. This volume of essays investigates early medieval Western European manuscript culture as a field of entangled objects, focusing on the connections between knowledge selection, material representation, and scribal agency. The complex road of compiling selected texts into manuscripts (compilatio) in the early Middle Ages is still not well understood, yet it is the key to the historical context surrounding medieval manuscript culture. The practice of knowledge selection consisted of three key stages: the intellectual selection of the textual content of manuscript collections; the pragmatic action of arranging the textual content in a draft form by authors or editors; and the material representation and aesthetic exposition of texts in manuscripts. These stages were part of a linear development, but also exercised reciprocal influence upon one another. By tracing this process in surviving manuscript collections, we can better understand in what practical ways knowledge was encoded and how these often innovative and experimental practices contributed to the emergence and consolidation of intellectual and scribal traditions. This has important implications for how we understand education, reform, and the exercise of power in the early Middle Ages.

Isidore of Seville and the “Liber Iudiciorum” establishes a novel framework for re-interpreting the Liber Iudiciorum (LI), the law-code issued in Toledo by the Visigothic king Recceswinth (649/653-672) in 654. The LI was a manifestation of a vibrant dialectical situation, particularly between two networks of authority, Isidore-Seville and Toledo-Agali, a defining characteristic of the discourse coloring the fabric of writing in Hispania, c. 600-660. To more fully imagine the meaning, significance and purposes of the LI, this book elicits this cooperative competition through a series of four case-studies on writing in the period. In addition to offering an alternative historiography for the LI, this book expands the corpus of “Visigothic Literature” and introduces what the author refers to as “Gothstalgie.” See inside the book.

Historische Argumente waren im europäischen Mittelalter ein wirksames Mittel des Vor-Augen-Stellens, das unterschiedlichen Zwecken dienen konnte. Ein solcher Zweck ist politische Legitimation. Um diese zu realisieren, wurde im politischen Feld des Mittelalters mitunter ein erheblicher Aufwand an Evidenzproduktion betrieben, der nicht nur eine Nutzung der Geschichte, sondern auch andere Praktiken der Evidenzherstellung involvierte. Ein Gebrauch der Geschichte, der bestimmte Tatsachenbehauptungen als augenscheinlich suggeriert, stellt demnach eine mögliche Technik in einem größeren Gefüge von Evidenzpraktiken dar, die im Mittelalter zum Einsatz kommen konnten, um Wahrheitsansprüche zu begründen, die zum Zweck politischer Legitimation relevant waren. Doch dieses Gefüge war im Laufe des Mittelalters auch epistemischen Wandlungsprozessen ausgesetzt, die sich auf die Art und Weise auswirkten, in der historische Argumente im politischen Feld zur Legitimation genutzt wurden. Die Geschichte, als tradiertes und kulturell sedimentiertes 'Wissen' über die Vergangenheit, macht Nutzungsangebote, die sehr verschiedene Aneignungen ermöglichen. Welche Elemente dabei selegiert und zur Evidenzproduktion funktionalisiert werden, hängt jedoch auch von regional spezifischen Bedingungen und Machtverhältnissen ab. Der Band hat das Anliegen, diese (regionale) Vielfalt von Aneignungen der Geschichte im europäischen Mittelalter zu untersuchen.

Si les concepts de fake news et post-vérité semblent définir notre monde contemporain, le Moyen Âge n’était-il pas déjà l’empire du faux ? De la fausse donation de Constantin aux évangiles apocryphes, des fausses reliques aux faux monnayeurs, des milliers de fausses chartes aux comptabilités trafiquées, pourquoi la tromperie semble-t-elle régner à cette époque ? À y regarder de plus près, le faux vécu et pratiqué au Moyen Âge, loin d’être homogène, n’épouse pas nos tranchantes certitudes contemporaines. Car ces dernières tirent leurs origines d’un long cheminement qui, du XVIIe au XIXe siècle, n’a laissé de place que pour le blanc et le noir, le vrai et le faux. Il faut abandonner la notion figée de « faux médiéval », pour porter l’attention sur les « régimes de faux » et de tromperie, de forges et de forgeries. Ces derniers révèlent un rapport au savoir et à l’écrit, ainsi qu’une conception du pouvoir étonnants. Les médiévaux cherchent davantage à forger leur vie et forcer leur destin qu’à falsifier stricto sensu des documents. En ce début du troisième millénaire, le savoir connaît une révolution comparable, avec l’explosion du numérique qui s’accompagne elle aussi d’une viralité du faux. S’interroger sur sa constitution est en creux une manière d’éclairer ce qu’est le vrai. Une réflexion nécessaire, impérieuse. Professeur en histoire médiévale à l’Université catholique de Louvain, Paul Bertrand s’intéresse aux cultures graphiques et textuelles médiévales. Il a notamment publié Les Écritures ordinaires. Sociologie d’un temps de révolution documentaire entre royaume de France et empire, 1250-1350 (Publications de la Sorbonne, 2015).

Der Sammelband behandelt für den westeuropäischen Raum die zahlreichen Anstöße (impetus), die von den Bischöfen ausgingen und die Gesellschaft, die Kultur und auch die Wirtschaft in der Zeit vom 4. bis zum 9. Jahrhundert maßgeblich beeinflussten. Dabei geht es insbesondere um die nicht alltäglichen Formen, in denen Bischöfe einzeln oder in engem Austausch mit anderen Bischöfen hervortraten und durch Aktivitäten und Initiativen jeweils spezifisch gesellschaftliche Akzente setzten und Impulse lieferten. Methodisch stellt sich für eine Annäherung an die Bischöfe des frühen Mittelalters vor allem das Problem, dass der größte Teil der Quellen über Bischöfe von den Bischöfen selbst oder aus deren direktem Umfeld stammt.
