| Abstract | How did Hiberno-Latin texts reach continental scriptoria in the Carolingian age? Did Brittany really play a crucial role in establishing and maintaining a chain of textual transmission between Ireland and northern Francia? And was the degree of Irish cultural influence truly stronger in Brittany than in the areas of, say, Fleury or Laon? An early 9th-century scientific compilation from northern Francia, two 10th-century Breton manuscripts, and a 10th-century collection of Biblical glosses from Fleury: these are the new pieces of evidence that the team of the IRCABRITT Project will discuss in this session to throw light on those difficult questions. |
