Book Description:
|
This volume of specially-commissioned essays takes as its theme the legacy of Rome in Carolingian culture in eighth- and ninth-century Europe. No such comprehensive survey of this kind exists in any language. The book is the more unusual by departing from the customary concept of renewal to emphasise the enormous creativity and inventiveness of the Franks.
