The Merovingian era is one of the best studied yet least well known periods of European history. From the fifth to the eighth centuries, the inhabitants of Gaul (what now comprises France, southern Belgium, Luxembourg, Rhineland Germany, and part of modern Switzerland), a mix of Gallo-Roman inhabitants and Germanic arrivals under the political control of the Merovingian dynasty, sought to preserve, use, and reimagine the political, cultural, and religious power of ancient Rome while simultaneously forging the beginnings of what would become medieval European culture.

The forty-six essays included in this volume highlight why the Merovingian era is at the heart of historical debates about what happened to Western Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire. The essays demonstrate that the inhabitants of the Merovingian kingdoms in these centuries created a culture that was the product of these traditions and achieved a balance between the world they inherited and the imaginative solutions they bequeathed to Europe. The Handbook highlights new perspectives and scientific approaches that shape our changing view of this extraordinary era by showing that Merovingian Gaul was situated at the crossroads of Europe, connecting the Mediterranean and the British Isles with the Byzantine empire, and it benefited from the global reach of the late Roman Empire. It tells the story of the Merovingian world through archaeology, bio-archaeology, architecture, hagiographic literature, history, liturgy, visionary literature and eschatology, patristics, numismatics, and material culture.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"One hopes that the Handbook and the many studies it offers will inspire more scholars to delve into the fascinating history of the Merovingian world." -- Tamar Rotman, Speculum: A Journal of Medieval Studies

"The Oxford Handbook of the Merovingian World...offers rich discussions about their history from various methodological perspectives. In doing so, it joins other recent volumes on the Merovingians that aim to give a broader outlook on the period, yet none of them is as extensive as the volume under review.... A volume that succeeds in giving diverse perspectives on the Merovingians and which provides its readers with a range of methodological approaches to study late antique and early medieval history, as well as a rich bibliography of primary and secondary sources that should help anyone who wishes to delve deeper into the history of this period.... Extremely useful for students and scholars alike." -- Speculum

"The academic world of Merovingian studies finds here an extremely helpful, comprehensive, thoughtful, up-to-date representation of the epoch. The two editors may be congratulated for having brought all theseauthors and their papers together." -- Early Medieval Europe

"Editors Bonnie Effros and Isabel Moreira have given us an exceptional reference book with The Oxford Handbook of the Merovingian World." -- Jessica Gauthier, Arc: Journal of the School of Religious Studies

"An exceptional reference book." -- Arc: The Journal of the School of Religious Studies

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! What a great resource! A great Compilation of modern theses.
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2024
Verified Purchase
This really is a great compilation of modern theses with copies notes and references for further study. Occasionally some reference is overlooked but usually not. The quality of the paper has a fantastic feel and the binding is excellent. I am over 200pp into it and have read a few chapters in advance as well on particular subjects of interest. Easier to digest than Bede or Gregory of Tours! The Post Roman era is called the Dark Ages and this certainly Sheds a Bright Light onto that era.
