| Abstract | The papers in this session concentrate on a collection of sermons compiled in early 9th-century Bavaria. They treat the specific techniques of réécriture and arrangement used for the individual texts (most of them are heavily abbreviated), the audience(s) of the collection, and its use in early Carolingian Bavaria. The Bavarian sermons demonstrate knowledge of numerous apocryphal traditions, which will not only be analysed, but will also be considered in the wider context of a knowledge of apocrypha in the Carolingian world. |
