| Abstract | The so-called 'minor' Frankish annals have started to be appreciated as historiographical texts sui generis fairly recently, slowly stepping out of the shadow of their 'major' siblings. The second session of this strand opens with a look at some recurring issues, in particular the fluidity of the text of minor annals across manuscripts and the importance of codicological context, with the Annales Petaviani as test case (Sören Kaschke). Drew Sorber examines scriptural cosmology as articulated throughout these same annals and the works that accompany them. Helmut Reimitz will respond on the strand's take on the place of minor annals within the diverse chorus of Frankish historiography. |
