Between Centre and Periphery
Our workshop presents research results from the FWF project “Carolingian Culture in Septimania and Catalonia” (CCSC), which have been developed since 2020. CCSC focuses on manuscripts with Carolingian text culture in the south-western periphery of the Carolingian empire, many of which are identified for the first time, examined in more detail, and placed into the larger panorama of book culture and history in this widely understudied area. Embedded in the larger framework of Europe-wide knowledge networks, regional peculiarities as well as supra-regional similarities of Carolingian text and manuscript culture become clear; this enables us to rethink the concept of “Carolingian reform” à la longue durée and to contribute to a future comparative history of Carolingian culture across Europe.
