Julian Harrison Is Curator Of Medieval And Earlier Manuscripts At The British Library, And Co-Editor Of The Chronicle Of Melrose Abbey.
Reading and Shaping Medieval Cartularies
The physical nature of the medieval cartulary examined alongside its textual contents. Medieval cartularies are one of the most significant sources for a historian of the Middle Ages. Once viewed as simply repositories of charters, cartularies are now regarded as carefully curated collections of texts whose contents and arrangement reflect the immediate concerns and archival environment of the communities that created them. One feature of the cartulary in particular that has not been studied so fully is its materiality: the fact that it is a manuscript. Consequently, it has not been recognised that many cartularies are multi-scribe manuscripts which "grew" for many decades after their initia...
Three cartularies from thirteenth-century Auxerre
"This edition presents the recently rediscovered episcopal cartulary of Auxerre, composed in the 1280s but assumed lost since the French Revolution. [It] also includes the short thirteenth-century cartularies of the nuns of St-Julien and of the cathedral chapter, the latter existing only in fragmentary form."--Publisher description.
Charters, Cartularies and Archives
A distinguished international group of diplomatists address thirteen cases of transmission and preservation of medieval documents. A recurrent theme in this volume is the actual preservation of individual original charters, but the content of originals was transmitted in other ways as well. Several chapters discuss questions relating to recopied originals, cartularies, and a range of other archival practices for retaining documents during the Middle Ages. Many of the authors focus on how documents were organized in archives and in cartularies during the period. Others discuss the notions of "original document" and "copy"--Both their relationship to each other and to the legal validity of the document in question.
From Charters to Codex
Over the last decades, a profound renovation in the way of reading and interpreting the sources of the Middle Ages led researchers to reconsider the historical value of medieval cartularies and to explore the different ways and purposes according to which medieval institutions built their own archival memory. In this collective volume we aim at approaching the topic through specific case studies, analysing models and practices in the organization of the corpora, the selection, organization and use / re-use of documents. The book focuses above all on cartularies in the strict sense of the term, mostly produced within the ecclesiastical sphere. Moreover, some of the contributions presented her...

Three Cartularies from Thirteenth Century Auxerre
This edition presents the recently rediscovered episcopal cartulary of Auxerre, composed in the 1280s but assumed lost since the French Revolution. Along with confirmations by popes, quarrel settlements with counts, and agreements with the bishop’s tenants, the cartulary contains documents that were previously unknown, notably several papal decisions. Auxerre was unusually well documented for the period 800–1200, but little information on the bishopric’s history after 1200 has been available until now. The text contains a wealth of information about relationships between church leaders and other churches, between churches and secular leaders, and details on peasant rights and obligations. This edition also includes the short thirteenth-century cartularies of the nuns of St.-Julien and of the cathedral chapter, the latter existing only in fragmentary form. With full annotation of people and places and English-language summaries, these cartularies make a valuable contribution to our understanding of this significant episcopal centre’s history.
