| Abstract | This session looks at three different ways that materiality can be analysed within the creation of chronicles and manuscripts; through allusion and references to other texts held in the monastic libraries; the creation of Welsh manuscripts and the palaeographic scribal practices that occurred in the 13th-century Celtic sphere and the notion of rejecting the world to write history. This session looks at broad themes from Anglo-Norman history, Welsh palaeography and diplomatic practice to French historiography. This is the first of two sessions held on Materiality and Monasticism and seeks to further engage with the current research in progress. |
