Continuity and Change in Medieval East Central Europe explores the crucial societal, political, and cultural dynamics that defined medieval East Central Europe during the early and high Middle Ages. Focusing on the historical regions of Bohemia, Hungary, Poland, and Lithuania, the book provides a comprehensive and comparative analysis of this transformative historical period. It gathers the latest perspectives from leading experts, offering nuanced insights into the interactions between power, religion, and social structures. Featuring original chapters from an interdisciplinary team of contributors, this volume delves into specific aspects of medieval East Central Europe. It examines the "dark ages" around 900 AD, the territorial organization of the Piast monarchies, and the evolution of rulership in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Other topics include the changing social status of royal servants in Hungary, the role of church and state in societal changes, and the unique concept of twin cathedrals in ecclesiastical architecture. By providing comparative assessments, the book highlights the complex relationship between continuity and change, offering fresh perspectives on the political and cultural transformations that influenced the region's development. Intended for historians and archaeologists interested in medieval societal changes, this volume is also essential for students in history, archaeology, and art history. By presenting cutting-edge research from various language areas and historical schools, the book makes advanced scholarship accessible to English-speaking readers. It serves the Anglophone academic market and engages experts and students within East Central Europe, offering a critical resource for understanding the medieval period's enduring impact on contemporary societies.

A volume that introduces new sources and offers fresh perspectives on a key era of transition, this book is of value to art historians and historians alike. From the dissolution of the Carolingian empire to the onset of the so-called 12th-century Renaissance, the transformative 10th–11th centuries witnessed the production of a significant number of illuminated manuscripts from present-day France, Belgium, Spain, and Italy, alongside the better-known works from Anglo-Saxon England and the Holy Roman Empire. While the hybrid styles evident in book painting reflect the movement and re-organization of people and codices, many of the manuscripts also display a highly creative engagement with the art of the past. Likewise, their handling of subject matter—whether common or new for book illumination—attests to vibrant artistic energy and innovation. On the basis of rarely studied scientific, religious, and literary manuscripts, the contributions in this volume address a range of issues, including the engagement of 10th–11th century bookmakers with their Carolingian and Antique legacies, the interwoven geographies of book production, and matters of modern politics and historiography that have shaped the study of this complex period.

An in-depth exploration of documentary forgery at the turn of the first millennium Forgery and Memory at the End of the First Millennium takes a fresh look at documentary forgery and historical memory in the Middle Ages. In the tenth and eleventh centuries, religious houses across Europe began falsifying texts to improve local documentary records on an unprecedented scale. As Levi Roach illustrates, the resulting wave of forgery signaled major shifts in society and political culture, shifts which would lay the foundations for the European ancien régime. Spanning documentary traditions across France, England, Germany and northern Italy, Roach examines five sets of falsified texts to demonstrate how forged records produced in this period gave voice to new collective identities within and beyond the Church. Above all, he indicates how this fad for falsification points to new attitudes toward past and present—a developing fascination with the signs of antiquity. These conclusions revise traditional master narratives about the development of antiquarianism in the modern era, showing that medieval forgers were every bit as sophisticated as their Renaissance successors. Medieval forgers were simply interested in different subjects—the history of the Church and their local realms, rather than the literary world of classical antiquity. A comparative history of falsified records at a crucial turning point in the Middle Ages, Forgery and Memory at the End of the First Millennium offers valuable insights into how institutions and individuals rewrote and reimagined the past.

Writing Sin in the German Lands, 1050–1215 is about how sin and atonement function as an impetus for textual production and formal, linguistic, and intellectual creativity. It focuses on the late eleventh and twelfth centuries, a time in which various social and cultural conditions came together to provoke both an interest in sin and an opportunity for writing experimentally about it, and its area of enquiry is the German-speaking world. Working with a remarkably rich body of German-language texts, this book allows us not only to grasp with greater clarity aspects of medieval penitential thought and practice, but it also offers new ways of thinking about the development of German as a literary language. The book joins bodies of work on the history of penance and on devotional writing in the European vernaculars, and through the interconnection of these two fields of study, it offers a new perspective on questions that currently occupy scholars of the Middle Ages: the medieval conception of the self in relation to other and to God; the value and function of vernacular writing; the nature of textuality; and the relationship between writing, speech, material text, and performance. In five chapters that deal with a wide range of texts, many of which have had little scholarly attention, this volume shows that the long twelfth century was not only a period in which there was a particular interest in exploring aspects of the theology and practice of penance, but also, significantly, a time in which a fundamental connection can be seen between thinking about sin and creative literary production.

The liturgical chant sung in the churches of Southern Italy between the ninth and thirteenth centuries reflects the multiculturalism of a territory in which Romans, Franks, Lombards, Byzantines, Normans, Jews, and Muslims were all present with various titles and political roles. Chants, Hypertext, and Prosulas examines a specific genre, the prosulas that were composed to embellish and expand pre-existing liturgical chants. Widespread in medieval Europe, prosulas were highly cultivated in southern Italy, especially by the nuns, monks, and clerics of the city of Benevento. These texts shed light on the creativity of local cantors to provide new meanings to the liturgy in accordance with contemporary waves of religious spirituality, and to experiment with a novel musical style in which a syllabic setting is paired with the free-flowing melody of the parent chant. In their representing an epistemological 'beyond', and in their interconnectedness with the parent chant, these prosulas can be likened to modern hypertexts. In this book, author Luisa Nardini presents the first comprehensive study to integrate textual and musical analyses of liturgical prosulas as they were recorded in Beneventan manuscripts. Discussing general features of prosulas in southern Italy and their relation to contemporary liturgical genres (e.g., tropes, sequences, hymns), Nardini firmly situates Beneventan prosulas within the broader context of European musical history. An invaluable reference for the field, Chants, Hypertext, and Prosulas provides a new understanding of the phonetic and morphological transformations of the Latin language in medieval Italy, and clarifies the use of perennially puzzling features of Beneventan notation.

This is the first major study of the interplay between Latin and Germanic vernaculars in early medieval records. Building on previous work on the uses of the written word in the early Middle Ages, which has dispelled the myth that this was an age of ‘orality’, the contributions in this volume bring to the fore the crucial question of language choice in the documentary cultures of early medieval societies. Specifically, they examine the interactions between Latin and Germanic vernaculars in the Anglo-Saxon and eastern Frankish worlds and in neighbouring areas. The chapters are underpinned by an important comparative dimension on account of the two regions’ shared linguistic heritage and numerous cross-Channel links. Contributors are: Stefan Esders, Albert Fenton, Robert Gallagher, Wolfgang Haubrichs, Charles Insley, Kathryn A. Lowe, Rosamond McKitterick, Rory Naismith, Janet L. Nelson, Edward Roberts, Annina Seiler, Marco Stoffella, Francesca Tinti, Kate Wiles, Bernhard Zeller. See inside the book.
