  This paper is dedicated to lists of weights and measures added to margins and other blank spaces in Carolingian manuscripts before the year 1000. Such lists sometimes are interpreted as connected to the reforming efforts of Carolingian rulers such as Charlemagne, concerning the measures of weight and volume used in their realm. By contrast, I argue that the contents of such lists indicate that they were composed and copied for two primary purposes, namely, to serve as encyclopedic glosses for weights and measures mentioned in the Bible and as practical glosses for the measurement terms and signs used in medical recipes deriving from late antiquity. Such lists were derived from a number of earlier Latin and Greek sources and lacked a rigid textual canon in their transmission. Their anonymous creators freely combined excerpts from late antique and early medieval texts produced in the Mediterranean world, and they did so in a piecemeal manner, with original excerpts often appearing in an abbreviated or debased form.

  This chapter is dedicated to the history of various forms of weather control in early medieval Western Europe. First, it overviews the existing evidence for the continuation of the earlier tradition of weather magic in the early medieval Latin as well as the normative Christian attitude to such traditions preserved in legislative acts, materials of church councils and writings of early medieval bishops. Second, it compares such normative attitudes with minuscule texts related to weather control that were added to the margins, flyleaves and other blank spaces of Latin manuscripts in the ninth and tenth centuries. The latter evidence provides a sobering reminder that normative texts are rarely a trustworthy witness to everyday practices in early medieval society. Such minuscule texts suggests that their anonymous authors, early medieval Western monks and priests, adapted the earlier tradition of weather magic for a Christian use by providing references to the Lord, his attributes and miracles, as well as to his angels and various holy figures. Such monks and priests were not different from peasants in believing that storms, flooding and hail were caused by malicious demons or deviant angels, and that efficient weather control must be conducted by confronting such evil powers directly, rather than simply praying to the Lord as propagated by normative liturgical texts and Carolingian bishops such as Agobard of Lyons.

  This article presents a critical edition of what appears to be the earliest redaction of the Translatio of the relics of St. Bartholomew to Benevento, which was added to the final surviving folio of Cambridge, Pembroke College, MS 91 in northern France between ca. 839 and ca. 850. This incomplete text has been overlooked by scholars studying the cult of St. Bartholomew in that city as well as related hagiographic traditions. An examination of the text allows us to reconsider not only the beginnings of the cult in Lombard Benevento but also the role that Duke Sicard played in the translation of Bartholomew’s relics there. The original account was produced in 838–839, after the arrival of the saint’s body in Benevento and prior to Sicard’s assassination, and communicated the perception of the new cult within his entourage. Unlike other known hagiographic texts related to this Translatio and produced in the wake of Sicard’s death, the earliest redaction presented him as a legitimate heir to the Roman imperial principes and laid claim to the Apostolic tradition of St. Bartholomew, which is here placed on an equal footing with that of St. Peter and St. Paul.

  This paper overviews early medieval textual additions, defined as minuscule texts, to Latin manuscripts produced before c. 900; when appropriate, it draws parallels with Petrucci’s discussion of early medieval ‘occasional microtexts’ (microtesti avventizi). The overview is based on the corpus of early medieval minuscule texts assembled by the MINiTEXTS project and currently comprising more than 4000 entries. Thereafter, the paper outlines two typologies of early medieval minuscule texts: one based on their placement within the diachronic stratigraphy of a manuscript, as well as their other codicological features, and the other structured by their textual contents. The essay argues that the appearance in the margins of early medieval manuscripts was closely related with concurrent social, economic, religious, and cultural practices. The latter point is exemplified with three case studies of minuscule texts and their broader historical contexts.

  This paper provides the first edition and thorough examination of marginal notes added to a ninth-century Carolingian manuscript (Laon, Bibliothèque municipale, MS 424). A detailed paleographic, codicological, linguistic, and historical analysis of these additions allows us not only to trace their provenance to the early tenth-century see of Laon but also to show that their anonymous author was a high-status cleric on the episcopal staff. The range of his practical marginalia – which included polyptych notes, lists of payments, and a list of names – points at various accounting practices he was involved in and indicates that he played an important role in facilitating the social power of ecclesiastical lordship over its localities.

  This paper explores the deployment of two types of graphic ciphers, namely occult caracteres and monograms, in early medieval Latin books in the period from c. 750 to c. 1000. Even though both types of signs originated in the classical world, their deployment in the Carolingian world profoundly changed in terms of media, social contexts, and functional use. Hence decipherable monograms developed into a new form of concealment. Although early Christian church fathers and Carolingian bishops condemned the employment of undecipherable caracteres for apotropaic and healing purposes, on rare occasions Carolingian monks and priests copied apotropaic incantations and healing recipes featuring caracteres. They did so partly because, in the early Middle Ages, medical knowledge was appreciated for its practical efficiency. The use of such caracteres also points to the tendency of Christian scribes to invest Greek and other “foreign” letterforms with some form of intercessory or apotropaic power. This paper contends that the deployment of these two visual phenomena in early medieval Latin manuscripts bears witness to the elevated status of Carolingian scribes and masters as paramount experts in the transmission of knowledge essential for the prosperity and well-being of the Christian people.

  There has been a common assumption among medievalists that the magical signs deriving from Eastern occult practices and known in Latin as caracteres first appeared in Western European manuscripts with the rise of “learned” magic in the high Middle Ages, and with the translation of relevant materials from Hebrew and Arabic. This paper questions this assumption by presenting a charm, hitherto overlooked, that contains occult signs of Eastern origin, recorded along with an exorcistic incantation deviating from normative Christian formulas, on the final page of a ninth-century Carolingian legal manuscript from northern Italy (Vatican City, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, MS Vat. lat. 5359, fol. 146v). Thereafter, the paper sets this unique charm within a broader cultural context of eighth- and ninth-century Western Europe, where both laypeople and clerics continued to deploy graphic signs originating from Eastern occult traditions for apotropaic and healing purposes, despite the repeated criticism of this practice in normative Christian discourse.

  This volume brings together historians, art historians, and archaeologists to discuss the role of graphic representational signs and symbols and to look at contexts facilitating their dissemination in a wide range of media in the late Roman and post-Roman worlds In this volume, twelve specialists examine the role of graphic signs such as cross signs, christograms, and monograms in the late Roman and post-Roman worlds and the contexts that facilitated their dissemination in diverse media. The essays collected here explore the rise and spread of graphic signs in relation to socio-cultural transformations during Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages, focusing in particular on evolving perceptions and projections of authority. They ask whether some culturally specific norms and practices of graphic composition and communication can be discerned behind the rising corpus of graphic signs from the fourth to tenth centuries and whether common features can be found in their production and use across various media and contexts. The contributors to this book analyse the uses of graphic signs in quotidian objects, imperial architectural programmes, and a wide range of other media. In doing so, they argue that late antique and early medieval graphic signs were efficacious means to communicate with both the supernatural and earthly worlds, as well as to disseminate visual messages regarding religious identity and faith, and social power.

  Until now, Philip Grierson's tentative dating of Charlemagne's monetary reform to 793/4 has been generally accepted. His dating was based not only on numismatic evidence but also on his attempt to set this event in the context of Charlemagne's activities from 792 to 794. This traditional date of the reform does not, however, take into account evidence provided by Codex Sangallensis 731, in which the scribe Wandalgarius drew the image of a post-reform coin around mid-October 793. Based on this evidence as well as the historical contextualization of Charlemagne's stay in Regensburg in 791–3, this paper attributes the introduction of the novi denarii to the period between the autumn of 792 and the early autumn of 793, when his court was located in Regensburg.

  Diagrams, maps, and other forms of graphic visualization are nowadays discussed as a specific mode of communication, graphicacy, typical of the modern age with its ever-increasing role of visual media in social life. This essay questions this tendency to see graphicacy as a by-product of modernity by surveying various forms of representational graphic signs and systems that were placed on various media in Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages, and it suggests that this graphic material should be seen as expressions of the very same mode of communication rising at the time of the sociocultural—and more specifically, religious—transformation of the late Roman and post-Roman worlds. With reference to this graphic evidence, early graphicacy is defined as a mode of visual communication of conceptual information and abstract ideas by means of non-figural graphic devices, which may comprise inscribed letters, words, and isolated decorative symbols.

  This volume brings together historians, art historians, and archaeologists to discuss the role of graphic representational signs and symbols and to look at contexts facilitating their dissemination in a wide range of media in the late Roman and post-Roman worlds In this volume, twelve specialists examine the role of graphic signs such as cross signs, christograms, and monograms in the late Roman and post-Roman worlds and the contexts that facilitated their dissemination in diverse media. The essays collected here explore the rise and spread of graphic signs in relation to socio-cultural transformations during Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages, focusing in particular on evolving perceptions and projections of authority. They ask whether some culturally specific norms and practices of graphic composition and communication can be discerned behind the rising corpus of graphic signs from the fourth to tenth centuries and whether common features can be found in their production and use across various media and contexts. The contributors to this book analyse the uses of graphic signs in quotidian objects, imperial architectural programmes, and a wide range of other media. In doing so, they argue that late antique and early medieval graphic signs were efficacious means to communicate with both the supernatural and earthly worlds, as well as to disseminate visual messages regarding religious identity and faith, and social power.
