Corpus Christianorum. Galbertus notarius Brugensis De multro, traditione et occisione gloriosi Karoli, comitis Flandriarum,
Turnhout, Brepols, 1994 Hardback, LXV+225 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503043111.
Rider's edition is the first to be based on representatives of both the Multrum's manuscript traditions since the Bollandists' heavily emended seventeenth-century edition. It offers the first complete and accurate critical apparatus for the text including all the variants of the existing manuscripts and early editions. It also takes into account emendations suggested by scholars since the mid-nineteenth century (Kopke, Pirenne, Thomas and Ross). Readers are thus provided with all the surviving textual evidence and may evaluate for themselves the editor's decisions. Rider's text also indicates, for the first time, the original divisions of the Multrum and reveals Galbert's principles of organization and composition. This volume likewise contains the first edition of the surviving first third of a 15th-century French translation of the Multrum, printed facing the corresponding Latin text. The introduction discusses Galbert, Charles the Good and the historical context, the composition and the textual tradition of the Multrum. The volume includes a bibliography of scholarly works devoted principally to an interpretation or discussion of all or part of the Multrum new maps of early-twelfth-century Bruges and Flanders, genealogies of the count of Flanders (1035-1168) and the Erembalds, and an exhaustive index of names and places and references to nameless representatives of various social groups (like armigeri, ancillae, the clerus Brugensis and milites) which will be of particular use to social historians.

Corpus Christianorum. Walterus Tervanensis Vitae Vita Karoli comitis Flandrie, Vita domni Ioannis Morinensis episcopi quibus subiunguntur poemata aliqua de morte comitis Karoli scripta et quaestio de eadem facta,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2006 Hardback, LXXX+220 p., 155 x 245 mm. ISBN 9782503051710.
This volume revolves around three men who knew each other well, oversaw the political and spiritual life of much of northern France and Flanders during the first third of the twelfth century, and died within five years of one another: Charles the Good, count of Flanders from 1119 to 1127; John of Warneton, archdeacon of Arras from 1096 to 1099 and bishop of Therouanne from 1099 to 1130; and their common biographer, Walter, archdeacon of Therouanne from 1116 to 1132. The volume includes a detailed historical introduction and offers new editions of Walter's vitae of Charles and John and of several other pieces - poems on Charles's death, his epitaphs, the record of the inquest into his murder - that, taken together with Walter's Vita Karoli and the edition of Galbert of Bruges' De multro, traditione, et occisione gloriosi Karoli comitis Flandriarum that has already appeared in this series (ed. J. Rider, CCCM 131, Turnhout, 1994), provide the most important elements of the dossier on Charles's assassination. Each of the works is preceded by an editorial discussion. This volume will be of particular interest to scholars of medieval Flanders and to medieval legal, ecclesiastical, political and social historians in general. Languages: Latin, English.
