Description - Books, Scribes, and Learning in the Frankish Kingdoms, 6th-9th Centuries by Rosamond McKitterick

This volume focuses on the book production of the Frankish regions of Western europe in the early Middle Ages. By examining manuscripts, the author shows how these can shed light on a variety of topics, such as women and literacy, the knowledge of canon and secular law, and the English contribution to the religious culture of the Continent. Some of the studies are concerned with palaeography and the achievements of particular scriptoria; others with the fact of production, the dissemination of texts, and their implications for intellectual and cultural history.
