This 2003 book examines the evidence for literacy in early medieval Italy under the 'barbarian' rule of the Lombards - usually considered the darkest of the Dark Ages in Italy - and shows that Lombard Italy possessed a relatively sophisticated written culture prior to the so-called Carolingian Renaissance of the ninth century.
