Abbatial Authority and the Writing of History in the Middle Ages
This book argues that abbatial authority was fundamental to monastic historical writing in the period c.500-1500. Writing history was a collaborative enterprise integral to the life and identity of medieval monastic communities, but it was not an activity for which time and resources were set aside routinely. Each act of historiographical production constituted an extraordinary event, one for which singular provision had to be made, workers and materials assigned, time carved out from the monastic routine, and licence granted. This allocation of human and material resources was the responsibility and prerogative of the monastic superior. Drawing on a wide and diverse range of primary evidenc...
Manuscripts, Market and the Transition to Print in Late Medieval Brittany
Manuscripts, Market and the Transition to Print in Late Medieval Brittany surveys the production and marketing of non-monastic manuscripts and printed books over 150 years in late medieval Brittany, from the accession of the Montfort family to the ducal crown in 1364 to the duchy's formal assimilation by France in 1532. Brittany, as elsewhere, experienced the shift of manuscript production from monasteries to lay scriptoria and from rural settings to urban centers, as the motivation for copying the word in ink on parchment evolved from divine meditation to personal profit. Through her analysis of the physical aspects of Breton manuscripts and books, parchment and paper, textual layouts, scripts and typography, illumination and illustration, Diane Booton exposes previously unexplored connections between the tangible cultural artifacts and the society that produced, acquired and valued them. Innovatively, Booton's discussion incorporates archival research into the prices, wages and commissions associated with the manufacture of the works under discussion to shed new light on their economic and personal value.

University Jubilees and University History Writing
Researching and writing its history has always been one of the tasks of the university, particularly on the occasion of anniversary celebrations. Through case studies of Prague (1848, 1948), Oslo (1911), Cluj (from 1919), Leipzig (2009) and Trondheim (2010), this book shows the continuity of the close relationship between jubilees and university historiography and the impact of this interaction on the jubilee publications and academic heritage. Up to today, historians are faced with the challenge of finding a balance between an engaged, celebratory approach and a more distant, academically critical one. In its third part, the book aims to go beyond the jubilee and presents three other ways of writing university history, by focusing on the university as an educational institution. Contributors are: Thomas Brandt, Pieter Dhondt, Marek Ďurčanský, Jonas Flöter, Jorunn Sem Fure, Trude Maurer, Emmanuelle Picard, Ana-Maria Stan and Johan Östling.

"Tradition ist nicht die Anbetung der Asche, sondern die Weitergabe des Feuers"
"Raban - Bildung in Bewegung" mit diesem Motto beteiligten sich die Theologische Fakultät Fulda, ihre Bibliothek und das Institut Bibliotheca Fuldensis an der Bewerbung Fuldas und Petersbergs um das Europäische Kultursiegel. Schlüsselfigur dieses Projekts ist Rabanus Maurus, der an der Wende zum 9. Jahrhundert als Abt des Klosters Fulda und als Gelehrter ein Bildungsnetzwerk von europäischer Dimension aufgebaut hat. Die vielen schriftlichen Zeugnisse dieser Zeit sind Grundlage für das Verständnis der mittelalterlichen Geisteswelt bis heute und werden in einer neuen Forschungsplattform zur virtuellen Rekonstruktion der im Zuge des 30jährigen Krieges zerstörten Fuldaer Klosterbibliothek sichtbar. Der Band versammelt die Vorträge des Kontaktstudiums im WS 2021/2022 mit Beiträgen von Thomas Böhm, Andreas Nievergelt, Gereon Becht-Jördens, Alessandra Sorbello Staub, Berthold Jäger und Cornelius Roth.
