| Abstract | The simple narrative of Carolingian rulers imposing the Regula Benedicti on all monasteries within their range of power has been abandoned for a very long time but it has never been replaced by a new, comprehensive narrative of Carolingian engagement with the Benedict's Rule. The three papers in this sessions approach the question from three different angels. Johanna Jebe focusses on Carolingian manuscript transmission of the Regula Benedicti. Albrecht Diem investigates which role the Regula Benedicti did indeed play in the corpus of Carolingian monastic reform texts, and Melissa Kapitan uses the theme of sensory perception as entryway to investigate the question how the Regula Benedicti was indeed read and applied in Carolingian monasteries. |
