Description

The Carolingian Civilization: A Reader offers a rich selection of primary source documents from the vibrant era between 770 and 880. This period witnessed a resurgence in documentary writing, marking an explosion of words that signaled the reawakening of Western civilization. Among the new material in this second edition are previously unpublished texts such as Rimbert's Life of Anskar, which details Carolingian missionary contact with Scandinavia, and Audradus Modicus's complete Book of Revelations. This anthology provides a plentiful and engaging selection of primary sources that shed light on popular beliefs and historical events of the time. The book includes new maps and illustrations, as well as other previously unpublished documents, making it an invaluable resource for those interested in understanding this pivotal moment in Western history.
