‎Judith of West Francia, Carolingian Princess and First Countess of Flanders. Biographical Elements and Legacy‎

‎, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 254 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:22 col., 5 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503604619.‎

‎Summary Judith of West Francia is one of the most enigmatic of Charlemagne's early descendants. The daughter of the king of West Francia and future emperor Charles the Bald and his wife Ermentrude, she was one of only a handful of Carolingian princesses who were destined for marriage. Over the course of her teenage years she married two successive kings of Wessex, became the first consecrated queen of England, was widowed twice, returned to Francia with an immense dowry, and sparked a major diplomatic incident when she eloped with a nobleman from Flanders called Baldwin. Eventually she married Baldwin in early 864, and together they established the dynasty of the counts of Flanders. In doing so the couple laid the groundwork for what would become one of the mightiest and most prestigious territorial principalities in north-western Europe in the tenth and eleventh centuries. But even in the tenth century, exceedingly few written memories of Judith's life survived. This explains why she was never the subject of a biography in the medieval or early modern eras, and why scholarship's understanding of her life and legacy remains highly fragmented. This volume sets the record straight, offering an accessible and interdisciplinary discussion of all relevant and documented aspects of Judith's life and legacy.

‎Dismantling the Medieval. Early Modern Perceptions of a Female Convent's Past‎

‎, Brepols, 2021 Paperback, 247 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 b/w, 14 col., 2 tables col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503593470.‎

‎Summary Dismantling the Medieval studies the paradoxical relationship of the early modern canonesses of Bouxi res with the medieval past of their institution. While various documentary, material, spatial, and immaterial legacies of that past remained a crucial presence in the convent's narrative of self, the canonesses also used and manipulated them to pursue and justify drastic changes in their organization and lifestyle. Thanks to an unusually rich and varied body of evidence, we are able to reconstruct in unprecedented detail this elite convent's highly flexible memory culture over a period of more than two centuries. Guiding the reader back through time, the book gradually reveals how and why the canonesses' connection to the medieval past lived on throughout many crises and transformations, including even the abbey's dissolution in 1971.

‎Religion, Culture, and Mentalities in the Medieval Low Countries Selected Essays,‎

‎Turnhout, Brepols, 2005 Paperback, 388 p., 9 b/w ill., + 2 maps, 160 x 240 mm. ISBN 9782503518909.‎

‎Ludo Milis graduated from Ghent University in 1961 as the last student of Francois-Louis Ganshof, who in the years after Henri Pirenne's retirement was the most prominent representative of the famous 'Ghent School' of medieval history. Milis's own academic career at Ghent span four decades in which he followed in the footsteps of his masters, yet also explored new directions. Like his predecessors, Milis always attached great importance to the critical examination of primary sources, but for him, such work must serve broader historical inquiry guided by a precise set of questions and methodological rigor. His interests lay primarily in the study of religious and cultural history, which previously had been neglected at Ghent; he was also a pioneer in the history of mentalities in the Low Countries. Milis's research and thought found expression in several books, among which his Angelic Monks and Earthly men. Monasticism and its Meaning to Medieval Society (Boydell, 1992), translated into many languages, was probably the most influential. This collection contains eleven essays published between 1969 and 1990. Most of them appeared in Dutch or French and have now been translated into English; two essays previously published in English were newly edited. All provide unique insight in the major themes of Milis's work: the religious history of the Low Countries during the early and high Middle Ages, as well as the problem of religious conversion and persuasion; the rise of regular canons in the eleventh and twelfth centuries (also the subject of his doctoral dissertation on the order of Arrouaise, published in 1969); the uses of power and ideology; and the history of French Flanders. All bear witness to Milis's inspiring ability to ask original, probing questions and to write historical syntheses accessible to a wide audience. The collection is presented to Ludo Milis by his students on the occasion of his retirement and his sixty-fifth birthday. Languages : English.‎

‎Understanding Monastic Practices of Oral Communication (Western Europe, tenth-thirteenth centuries) <br>‎

‎, Brepols - Harvey Miller, 2011 Hardcover. XII 390 p., 7 b/w ill., 3 b/w tables, 156 x 234 mm, Languages: English, French, German, Fine copy. Including an index. ISBN 9782503534824.‎

‎This collection of papers delves into the fascinating methods with which monastic groups of the central Middle Ages practised modes of oral communication.<br>Although traditionally defined as a literate environment, Western monastic culture depended on a range of communicative practices which was just as large, and in some ways more sophisticated in its diversity, than that of other groups of society. Monks and nuns exchanged considerable amounts of information for which no written media were deemed necessary or which did not make a complete or immediate transition into written sources. Grouped in five thematic chapters, the papers in this volume aim to provide inroads into a useable interpretation of the various contexts in which monks and nuns in the central Middle Ages considered the spoken word as a vital complementary medium to other forms of communication.‎
