Abstract

In 8th-century Neustria, the most north-western of the Frankish realms, there have originated some stimuli on different areas of medieval text production. Even if the sources may be as different as penitentials, collections of canon law, and historiography, its authors often knew and and used texts from the other categories. The combined study of manuscript tradition, the development of penitentials and canon law, and the most important historiographical sources provides new evidence of the creation and spreading of all of them.
