| Paper 807-a | Libraries and Florilegia as Evidence for Insular Culture in Bavaria (Language: English) |
| Paper 807-b | Networks of Sacral Knowledge in Carolingian Bavaria (Language: English) |
| Abstract | This session explores the intellectual networks in 8th-and 9th-century Bavaria. The two papers look at two different genres where the exchange of texts and ideas between individuals and institutions can be assessed: florilegia and hagiographic texts. Both papers look at the origin and diffusion of several texts and their use in Bavarian scriptoria. It is by the collection and specific adaptation of texts of foreign origin – from Britain, Francia and Italy – that we can detect transformations of Bavarian identity in the period. The papers will be drawn together and confronted with further points of view in the response. |
