Dynamics of Literacy in Medieval Europe. Studies in Honour of Marco Mostert
, Brepols, 2026 Hardback, Pages: 347, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:25 b/w, 22 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503610641.
Summary This book honours the achievements of Marco Mostert, professor of Medieval History at Utrecht University. Marco has been one of the main promotors and proponents of the expanding field of studies in medieval literacy and orality. The book celebrates his legacy by focusing on communication and writing in the Middle Ages, themes central to Marco's interest. It is divided into two sections. Part I covers the early medieval period, focusing on manuscripts and texts, mainly those produced by clerics. Articles in this section include studies on the liturgical hymn Te Deum; Carolingian political hegemony in Frisia; a new Carolingian witness of Suetonius's Life of Caesars; the Utrecht Psalter and its historical context; monastic socialization; political communication through sermons; manuscript annotations at Fleury-sur-Loire; Ademar of Chabannes's final years; and the semantic field of communicatio. Part II shifts focus to written communication in broader societal layers in the later medieval period, when writing became significant for other societal groups like townsfolk and peasants. Articles in this section discuss a case of identifying a thief through written documents; urban literacy in Danish and Hungarian towns; graffiti in Abruzzi churches; the cartulary of Egmond monastery; and literate culture among late medieval countryside inhabitants. Friends, collaborators, colleagues, and former students of Marco have contributed to this volume, with all authors discussing different aspects of the use of the written word in various parts of the medieval European world. The result is a book with multiple facets, collectively contribute to a deeper understanding of medieval literacy and its societal implications.

Corpus Christianorum. Paenitentialia Paenitentiale pseudo-Theodori,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2009 Hardback, LXXVI+212 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503528847.
The Paenitentiale pseudo-Theodori is a substantial handbook of penance which has been largely ignored by current scholars. Since the days of Walther von Hormann, who in 1908 wrote the first, and last, article about this text, it has generally been accepted to be a penitential of Frankish provenance. Languages: Latin, English.
Shepherds of the Lord Priests and Episcopal Statutes in the Carolingian Period,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2007 Hardback, VIII+246 p., 6 b/w tables, 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503523194.
This book is the first study of the rural priesthood, its significance, and the statutes written for them in the time of the Carolingians. It seeks to trace and explain the rise and emergence in the Carolingian period of both local priests and episcopal statutes that aimed at steering their behaviour. It was in the context of Carolingian ideals of reform, formulated in court-centred circles from the late eighth century onwards, that local priests increasingly came to be seen as those that held the key to turning the local Frankish population into ideal Christians by their word and living example. First of all, however, these educators needed to be educated themselves, hence the emergence of the Episcopal statutes, a new tool to direct the local diocesan clergy into becoming the ideal 'Shepherds of the Lord' that they needed to be. Smooth as this process of empire-wide reform theoretically was, however, obstacles lurked, both from a top-down (episcopal) and a grass-roots (local) perspective on the status, role, and function of priests. Nevertheless, the ninth century saw the emergence of the priesthood and the development of their role as an important group that connected bishops with the lay inhabitants of their dioceses and, from a higher-up perspective, those who opened up the vast Carolingian country-side to the implementation of the ideal society in the minds of contemporary reformers.
