A new and accessible translation of Hariulf's History of St Riquier, this book examines the history of a monastic community from the seventh to the eleventh century. It covers the ascetic life of the founding saint and the development of the community under the Carolingians in the late eighth and ninth centuries. There were setbacks when the house was sacked by the Vikings and the founder's relics were stolen for political ends, but it recovered in the tenth and eleventh centuries and developed the links with both the Norman and English courts that enable Hariulf to make interesting observations about the Norman Conquest of England. Hariulf's description of the monastic site with its three churches and the liturgical arrangements practised there, as well as the relics, treasures, books and endowments of a great monastic foundation, make his history an important source for monastic history.

Die Freud-Biographik ist durch zwei auffallende, gleichermaßen verzerrende Tendenzen charakterisiert: eine Tendenz zur Hagiographie und eine andere zur Demontage. Abseits dieser teils idealisierenden, teils vermeintlich entlarvenden Freud-Interpretationen entfaltete sich in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten eine Freud-Forschung, die, geduldig und gelassen Fakten sammelnd, neue Erkenntnisse über Freuds Leben und Denken zutage gefördert hat. In welchem Ausmaß die bisherige Freud-Biographik auf den Details der Bernfeldschen Beiträge aufbaut, zeigt die Herausgeberin Ilse Grubrich-Simitis, ihrerseits Psychoanalytikerin und Autorin von Veröffentlichungen zur Geschichte der Psychoanalyse, in der Einleitung.

This collection of documents in translation brings together the seminal sources for the late Merovingian Frankish kingdom. It inteprets the chronicles and saint's lives rigorously to reveal new insights into the nature and significance of sanctity, power and power relationships. The book makes available a range of 7th- and early 8th-century texts, five of which have never before been translated into English. It opens with a broad-ranging explanation of the historical background to the translated texts and then each source is accompanied by a full commentary and an introductory essay exploring its authorship, language and subject matter. The sources are rich in the detail of Merovingian political life. Their subjects are the powerful in society and they reveal the successful interplay between power and sanctity, a process which came to underpin much of European culture throughout the early Middle Ages.
