| Abstract | The multi-faceted problem of reform on different levels of society in the Carolingian period forms the topic of this session. Frederik Goosmann's paper approaches this question from the point of view of the Carolingian court, with the reign of Pippin III and its impact for later generations at centre stage. Steffen Patzold's contribution will deal with the impacts of correctio at the level of rural parishes, by examining manuscript evidence for the efforts to educate and instruct rural priests. The third paper (Carine van Rhijn) challenges the traditional view that the ideal of correctio was bound to lose its force in the later 9th century, thereby offering reflections on processes and concepts of reform and their representation in modern historiography. |
