Utrecht Studies in M edieval Literacy One of the most importam developments in European history took place in communication. A transition is clearly visible from illiterate societies to societies in which most members are active users o f the written word. This complex process, which started in Antiquity and is still not complete, gained momentum during the Middle Ages. Many disciplines have recently made contributions to our understanding of the history of medieval communication: codicologists and historians o f the book, anthropologists and psychologists, but also philosophers, sociologists, literary historians, classicists and theologians, economists, art historians and historians. This series is intended to provide a forum for publications on the history of non-verbal, oral and written communication in the Middle Ages. Interest in the subject is now widespread within the worldwide community o f medieval studies; and ever mote acholan are becoming convinced of the potential o f studying the tensions between oral and literate modes of thought.

N ew Approaches to M edieval Communication This volume will serve as a textbook for studying this field, and as an introduction to current research. It is written in accessible language for non-specialists. T he volume has three sections: introductions by two o f the leading exponents worldwide: Michael Clanchy and Marco Mosten; a series of essays by members o f the Utrecht ‘Pionierprojcct’ which consider writing and written culture against the background of all forms o f communication available to a given medieval society, both in western and east-central Europe; and a comprehensive bibliography on the subject, comprising 1500 titles which will serve as a fundamental starting-point for work in this field.

Editorial Preface

ne o f the most important developments in European history took place in communication. A transition is clearly visible from illiterate societ­ ies to societies in which most members are active users o f the written word. This complex process, which started in Antiquity and is still not com­ plete, gained momentum during the Middle Ages. Representatives o f many disciplines have recently made contributions to our understanding o f the history of medieval communication: palaeographers, codicologists and historians o f the book, anthropologists and psychologists, but also philosophers, sociologists, literary historians, classicists and theologians, economists, art historians and historians. Much has become known, but much more awaits discovery. Interest in the subject is now widespread within the worldwide community o f medieval studies; and ever more scholars are becoming convinced o f the potential o f studying the tensions between oral and literate modes o f thought. Since 1996, the Dutch “Pionier Project Verschriftelijking” has been researching the uses o f the written word in medieval Europe, particularly in the early Middle Ages, organising symposia and meetings at international confer­ ences. It has convened an Editorial Board to oversee the specialist series Utrecht Studies in Medieval Literacy, o f which New Approaches to Medieval Communication is the first volume. The series is intended to provide a forum for publications on the history o f non-verbal, oral and written communication in the Middle Ages. The intention is to publish two volumes per year.

Editorial Preface

This first volume contains contributions by the members o f the “Pionier Project”, thereby giving an impression o f the various approaches adopted. A bibliography has been added which, although incomplete, shows the enormous amount of work which has been done in recent years on the subject o f medieval literacy and communication. Additions to this bibliography will be published in the annual Newsletter on Medieval Literacy and Communication, distributed by Brepols Publishers (Tumhout). Michael Clanchy, whose seminal From Memory to Written Record: Eng­ land 1066-1307 (London, 1979; second edn. Oxford, 1993) has inspired much o f the current interest in medieval literacy, has graciously consented to write an Introduction to the volume.

Introduction

MICHAEL CLANCHY

his first volume in the new series Utrecht Studies in Medieval Literacy presents work by the research group, the “Pionier Project ‘Verschriftelijking’ ” headed by Marco Mostert, which was formed at the University o f Utrecht in 1996 to study medieval written culture in relation to other forms o f communication. “Verschriftelijking” describes the process o f becoming literate; in English the word “literalization” has been coined for this, in order to distinguish this social and intellectual process from “literacy” which is its end product. “Literalization” involves much more than elementary schooling, as the acquisition of literacy had-and still has-many origins and roots. The intention of this innovative is to place medieval literacy-in all its varieties, ambiguities and ramifications-in its social, intellectual and cultural context. The research group is attached to the History Department o f the University and it is therefore principally concerned with the historian’s questions: who? what? when? where? and why? The questions that needs answering are huge, numerous and com­ plex, and the research group has to begin by concentrating on a few o f them. The medieval period is particularly difficult as far as “when?” and “where?” questions are concerned because so many manuscripts are undated and difficult to contextualize. As for “why?” questions, these have frequently been ad­ dressed by specialists in particular genres or regions without sufficient knowl­ edge of similar research being done elsewhere. The city o f Utrecht, near the mouth o f the Rhine and at the heart o f the Netherlands, is a vantage point from which to view developments in Europe as

a whole. So much history in Europe has been written from a nationalist bias, even in medieval history and in non-political areas like art and literature. Much of this bias is unconscious and arises from writers identifying with particular nation states because that is how Europe, in peace and war, has been organized for centuries. To illustrate this, I need look no further than my own From Memoiy to Written Record: England 1066-1307. 'I concentrated on England because the medieval sources I knew best were English and they were preserved by English national institutions: the Public Record Office, the British Library, the county record offices, and so on. Furthermore, England was already a unit of government in the period from 1066 (the battle o f Hastings) to 1307 (the death of Edward i, England’s most powerful medieval king). England has produced so much distinctive documentation of its own that there has been little incentive for its historians to look outside it. In the Netherlands on the other hand-among academics in particular-a more internationally minded culture has grown up, notably in the Dutch mastery o f their neighbour’s languages and in the determi­ nation to see beyond the historical nation state. To produce results, the right questions have to be asked and at the same time researchers need to be aware o f what their predecessors have already writ­ ten. This is why the largest section o f this first volume consists o f M ostert’s bibliography o f publications on medieval communication. This extends in geo­ graphical area from Byzantium to Iberia and from the Scandinavian and Celtic lands to the Mediterranean. The period covered is equally wide, reaching from Antiquity through the medieval millennium (500-1500 AD) up to the invention o f printing, the Italian Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation. It must be emphasized that this bibliography is not intended to be exhaustive or all-inclu­ sive. It is based on the bibliography which Mostert published in 1995; supple­ mented by additions from colleagues and further thoughts and updates. Need­ less to say, a bibliography can only be a starting-point and check-point for a particular piece o f research. Nevertheless an ambitious bibliography like this one, made by a specialist in the area and arranged by topics, sets out in an eco­ nomical way the parameters o f a subject. In addition to the bibliography, Mostert publishes in this volume his own introduction to New Approaches to Medieval Communication. This provides an essential guide to questions o f terminology. Scholars writing in different lan­ guages (notably English and German) have different expectations o f the terms they use, even when the words employed look readily interchangeable from one language to another.

mimicating what to whom? Messages come in many forms (not just in writing) and they are transmitted and received by all sorts o f agencies. Medievalists have to remember that many forms o f communication involved God and his saints as well as human agencies. In English the terms “literacy” and “orality” are recent inventions, which have become necessary as new questions are ad­ dressed. “Literacy” was first used by educationalists about a century ago and “orality” has only come into vogue in the last twenty years. Terms in English are not as flexible as they are in German, which has words to describe the “process of literacy/becoming literate”, and German can use paradoxical terms (“literalized orality” and “oral literacy”) without them looking perverse. The use o f such new terms is essential, as we still lack many words to describe how communication works. Forms o f “non-verbal communication”, for example, are very important and we have no really satisfactory term for them. The new re­ search exemplified in this book emphasizes how writing in itself is only one aspect of communication. Furthermore, in the inventive hands o f medieval monks writing took on the most extraordinary forms which transcended any­ thing the classical Greeks and Romans had ever attempted. M osterf s bibliography proceeds from theories about literacy in anthropol­ ogy, sociology and psychology to historical surveys o f literacy in Europe and the world; orality, ritual and non-literate forms o f communication come next because they were in use long before literacy was introduced and they continue to interact with literacy. The “Production and use o f written texts” in medieval society is not reached until section 8, which is halfway through the bibliogra­ phy. From there it follows a more conventional course, through the various ways in which writing was used culminating in “Literature” (section 14), until it reaches section 15 on “Religion and writing”. This leads to the concluding section (no. 16) on “The symbolism o f the book”, a theme which takes us once more beyond literacy as it is conventionally understood, since a book can serve as a symbol without it being widely read. In the liturgy o f the medieval Church splendid books, their bindings encrusted with jewels and their pages illumi­ nated with gold-leaf and colours, were ceremonially displayed by the priests for the laity to see and venerate. For Christian missionaries the books o f Scripture, which they carried with them, were as important symbols o f the new religion as baptism and the sign o f the cross. Conversion to Christ and conversion to book learning were inseparable. The bibliography makes clear why this volume is called New Approaches to Medieval Communication rather than New Approaches to Medieval Literacy. Section 3 on “Forms o f non-verbal communication” includes smells, colours, gestures, clothes, the visual arts and music. The liturgy o f the medieval Church

shows how well its priests understood the powers of “non-verbal communica­ tion”. The smell o f incense, the colours associated with different liturgical seasons (purple for Lent, white for Easter), the gestures o f the sign o f the cross and the hand raised in blessing, the vestments o f the priest (recalling the splen­ dour of ancient Rome), wall paintings and mosaics, jewelled reliquaries and flickering candelabra, the words o f the celebrant and the responses merging into chant and music-all these things attracted the physical senses and engaged the feelings. The scholastic philosophers o f the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, from Abelard to Aquinas, presented Christianity as a series o f propositions to be mastered by reasoning and studied through Aristotle’s books as well as those of the Bible. As a result more people became literate, or-at least-more writing was done and kept for posterity. Nevertheless this intellectualism exposed weakness in Christian belief and hence also in many other aspects o f social control and traditional norms. Neither the clergy, nor society as a whole, neces­ sarily functioned better in the later Middle Ages when documents and learning were more widespread. Liturgy and ritual may have succeeded in uniting early medieval communities in a heart-felt faith, whereas literacy and reasoning fermented disputes. Non-verbal forms o f communication are so powerful because they directly engage the feelings through the physical senses. For similar reasons oral com­ munication is often more effective than writing because it too engages the fac­ ulties of hearing and speaking directly. All writing depends on the prior forma­ tion o f language and it makes no sense without speech; compared with lan­ guage, writing is an ancillary and dependent technology. Written record can be extraordinarily productive in advancing thought, because it fixes statements and enables a reader or writer to refer back and reconsider what is stated, but it cannot be a substitute for thought. Every piece o f writing needs an interpreter and it is reinterpreted every time it is read. Medieval readers inherited from the rhetoricians o f Antiquity the idea that reading was essentially a speech act; it was the process o f recovering and reconstituting a writer’s thoughts. That is why emphasis was put on reading aloud in medieval societies; the commonest way o f engaging with a book was by listening to it being read. The liturgical practice of reading or chanting extracts from the Bible is the most obvious example of this; much the same was done for the reading o f secular literature in the halls and private chambers o f castles and manor houses. Mostert gives central importance in his bibliography to “oral communica­ tion” and “oral and written memory” (sections 5 and 6) in order to emphasize the priority o f speech in communication. The section on “Literature” (no. 14), likewise begins with the paradox o f “oral literature” and proceeds from there to

the general principles o f its composition and performance, before considering specific literatures in their various vernacular written forms. Sometimes medi­ eval society has been thought peculiar or primitive because it made such effec­ tive use of non-verbal and non-literate forms o f communication. Modem societ­ ies have supposedly progressed beyond ritual gestures and the acting out o f literature. Certainly modem societies differ from medieval ones in their insis­ tence on the universal ability to read and write and in making literacy the gate­ way to employment and status at a minimal level. Nevertheless non-verbal forms o f communication and orality are still central to the conduct o f society. Much o f the power o f television depends on it being a visual experience which appears to be more truthful and real than any written record. The most impor­ tant negotiations between business people or politicians still take place through face-to-face confrontation. Even academics, who have inherited the role o f the clergy in being the chief propagandists for literacy, privilege orality over writ­ ing in their day-to-day conduct. Teaching is initiated through speech and faceto-face meetings. Machines have not yet been devised which can replicate ef­ fectively enough all the aspects o f communication which are involved when one person communicates with another. Within the thousand-year span o f the Middle Ages from 500 to 1500 a division is often made at the eleventh century or the twelfth between an earlier period and a later one. Certainly this makes sense as far as the history o f re­ cords is concerned, as the earlier period is much more thinly documented than the later one. At a guess, at least three quarters o f all medieval manuscripts date from after 1200. Furthermore, many texts concerning the earlier period now exist only in later manuscripts. At present, estimates o f total numbers are no more than guesses, as there is no central register o f medieval libraries or ar­ chives, let alone o f individual documents which number tens o f thousands from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The task o f surveying them all is daunt­ ing, but it may be possible to achieve something substantial with computers in the not too distant future through the digitization o f texts and images. In Phantoms o f Remembrance: Memory and Oblivion at the End o f the First Millennium? Patrick Geary has argued that the eleventh century is a sig­ nificant turning point as far as written record is concerned. This is the very time in which the keepers o f memory, especially the monks, reviewed their archives and books and deliberately created the historical records which we now have. They did this by throwing away documents they considered useless or irrele­ vant to their interests, by reconstructing and rewriting memorials o f kings and noble families, and where necessary by forging new documents to tell the hisNo. 622 in the bibliography.

tory they wanted to pass on. Something o f this sort seems to have occurred in old established monasteries throughout western Europe, and notably in Italy, Germany, France and England. We are left with the books and records they made with the “Phantoms o f Remembrance” o f Geary’s title, bits o f the buried past that refused to stay buried. This is, o f course, the challenge which histori­ ans and archaeologists face in any period or place. Even where evidence is abundant, it may be deficient or misleading in crucial areas. Students o f medi­ eval books, which are such enticing objects in themselves with their beautiful layouts and illuminations, need to be constantly aware that they are not looking at raw historical evidence. These are constructs, which were made and kept so that we should know particular things about the past: why this monastery was entitled to a particular piece o f land, or why that king triumphed over his ene­ mies. My From Memory to Written Record, by focusing on the period from the eleventh century to the thirteenth, gives the impression that a new era in the history o f literacy began at this time. Certainly many more records survive from the twelfth century onwards, but this pattern o f survival may give a misleading impression about the extent o f literacy before 1100. The earlier medieval period is the more problematic one because so much remains hypothetical. There was not necessarily a progressive increase in literacy century by medieval century from a low point in the fifth century to a high point in the fifteenth. The articles in this volume are therefore most welcome, as they concentrate on the earlier period when the evidence is hardest to interpret. Wolfert van Egmond’s article on audiences raises large questions and an­ swers them in specific ways. Who read the books which the monks made, and how did they read them? Were they read aloud? I f so, would the audience have required a translator or did they know Latin? Had they been taught Latin, or was it their mother tongue? When did the status o f Latin as a spoken language change? How did Christian missionaries, who had Latin as their official lan­ guage, communicate with Germanic peoples? The answer to this last question seems to be that they used vernacular languages, while upholding Latin as the principal language o f record and o f the Roman Church. Fragments o f writing in Germanic vernaculars survive from before 1100 and, thinking along the lines suggested by Geary, it may be possible that many more vernacular writings once existed but got discarded. England, exceptionally, held on to substantial parts o f its legacy o f Anglo-Saxon literature and records because the special circumstances o f the Norman Conquest caused English monks to make every effort to preserve their distinctive heritage.

Mary Garrison, in her article on the preservation o f medieval correspon­ dence, emphasizes the contrast between copies o f letters deliberately selected and collected into books by their senders or recipients and the actual originals discovered by archaeologists. The latter are extremely rare, and yet they are very precious to historians precisely because they are the documents which their owners chose to throw away or at least failed to keep. They discarded them in rubbish tips, as at Vindolanda on Hadrian’s Wall on the northern fron­ tier o f Roman Britain, or dropped them at the dockside as at Bryggen on the waterfront at Bergen in Norway. Only the acutest observation by archaeolo­ gists, using techniques developed from the 1950s onwards, has brought letters of this sort to light. Unlike medieval parchment manuscripts, these letters are written on hard materials: slivers o f wood at Vindolanda, sticks inscribed with runes at Bergen, and birch bark at Novgorod. Individual finds have also occa­ sionally been made o f the wooden writing tablets, once covered with a surface o f wax, which were used for taking notes. These archaeological discoveries emphasize how writing was used for mundane purposes (“Send More Socks” in Mary Garrison’s title); it was not restricted to ecclesiastical and religious functions, even though that is the im­ pression given by the preservation o f early medieval texts by monasteries. Nevertheless by no means all the letters discovered by archaeologists concern day-to-day business matters. At Bergen some o f the rune-sticks have short Latin prayers on them {Pater Noster and Ave Maria) and others contain nothing more than vernacular obscenities and insults. Whatever their purposes, the sticks with prayers and insults on them suggest that writing was in frequent use, and this is also the inference to draw from the archaeological evidence as a whole. Even though there are huge gaps in the archaeological record (the Vindolanda letters are a thousand years earlier than those from Bergen and Novgorod), these finds raise disconcerting questions for the historian o f liter­ acy. What proportion o f the total output o f writings are the medieval manu­ scripts which we now possess? Should we assume that many more people were literate than surviving manuscripts suggest? How did numbers vary from place to place and from period to period? In particular, have we underestimated the numbers who could read and write in the post-Roman period? If literacy was commonplace among the Roman army at Vindolanda in 100 a d , is it not possi­ ble that the Germanic “barbarians” (who were incorporated into later Roman armies) also became familiar with writing?4

Karl Heidecker’s article on the use o f charters in court cases concentrates on a few documents in order to draw out as much as possible from them. He describes nine cases, ranging in date from ca. 866 to 1104 and located in what is now Burgundy and Switzerland (these involve, among others, the great char­ ter collections o f the monasteries o f Cluny and St. Gall). He concludes that the evidence does not allow for generalizations in the form o f rules. We cannot say, for example, that documentary evidence prevailed over the spoken word; but neither can we say the opposite. From the cases discussed, it is difficult to see any progression or regression over time in the legal principles being applied. Indeed it is difficult to see what general legal principles were being applied. When the evidence is so scarce and scattered, it may not be possible to get beyond a series o f anecdotes or portraits o f particular cases. Furthermore, the very documents on which we have to rely to reconstruct these cases are them­ selves one-sided, as they typically consist o f memoranda made by particular religious houses to justify themselves. In his conclusion Heidecker looks for­ ward to producing a more sharply focused picture in the future. But, if Geary’s metaphor o f “Phantoms o f Remembrance” is right, the full picture will always prove elusive. What is needed in the short term, as Heidecker points out, are better editions o f many o f the surviving documents. Most medieval charters do not exist as originals, but as copies in later manuscripts. Even where originals exist (as at St. Gall for example), they are often unimpressive looking documents. They consist o f single sheets o f parch­ ment without embellishment, other than the signatures and signs o f the cross of the witnesses (generally, sealed charters do not begin until the twelfth century). By contrast, the books which Mariëlle Hageman discusses in her article are the originals and they were designed to look as impressive as possible. She asks what was the purpose o f the magnificent “portraits” of crowned kings and em­ perors, which are found in some o f the finest Carolingian and Ottonian manu­ scripts. They are not anything as simple as records o f particular coronations. Rather, they are images o f authority which associate earthly rulers with the saints and the supernatural power o f God. Coronation is a divine gift; that is why the hand o f God is depicted emerging from the heavens and conferring the crown on the recipient. In liturgical books pictorial miniatures and illuminated lettering had been used from the seventh century or earlier to reinforce the majesty and splendour o f the scriptural texts. Incorporating pictures o f earthly kings and emperors in these books followed on from the practice o f depicting biblical figures in them. In return for the wealth and protection which kings conferred upon them, monks presented them with books showing earthly rulers as superhuman and majestic figures.

These miniatures can only have been seen by a select few: by the monks who made and kept these books and by the king and his courtiers who were shown them on special occasions. Was any larger audience intended? Why undertake such elaborate and expensive work and then enclose it in books which few people ever saw? Images in books could not have functioned di­ rectly as royal propaganda for the general public. Possibly they provided mod­ els for larger paintings and certainly the books acted as points o f reference for the liturgies in which the ruler displayed his majesty through crown-wearings and public ceremonial. Illuminated books and the miniatures within them, through their images as much as through the words o f their texts, acted as a resource and a generator. What was encapsulated in the miniatures could be magnified and projected to larger audiences through liturgical ceremonies, just as their texts could be amplified through chant and music so that the sound filled a whole church. “Non-verbal communication” is too negative a way to describe the power o f liturgy and ritual because it suggests that words alone might have done a better job. “Non-verbal communication” is used here for lack o f any better term for describing the indescribable. Medieval illuminated manuscripts were de­ signed to transcend the written word and so they are not altogether amenable to verbal analysis. Writing is a protean tool; it can be used to create mysteries and elaborate fictions and equally it can define and clarify. Modem literacy pro­ grammes, as promoted by UNESCO for example, emphasize the practical advan­ tages of writing. “Functional literacy” is so essential to the efficient operation of modem society that everyone is taught to read and write. This basic prag­ matic literacy is assumed to be the foundation o f western civilization and eco­ nomic prosperity. Computers and word processors reinforce the assumption that written language essentially consists o f units o f information, which can be mutually exchanged in a market economy. Medieval people saw very different advantages and priorities in writing. The monks and artists who made the earli­ est illuminated manuscripts, together with the kings and aristocratic patrons who supported them, valued writing primarily for its religious power. This was not necessarily because they were morally better people than we are; rather, it was because the occult and artistic potentialities o f writing were more attuned to their culture than its applications to information technology and mass in­ struction. Through their sacred books, the early Christian missionaries offered rulers a reinforcement o f their authority and access to a “world-wide web” which extended from the legendary empire o f Rome to the one true God who mied the heavens.

In central Europe beyond the frontiers o f the Roman empire, which is the subject o f Anna Adamska’s article in this volume, writing may not have been used at all before the missionaries arrived, though Slav and Hungarian mer­ chants presumably came across Latin and Greek occasionally in commercial transactions. There, as everywhere else where Christianity' was introduced, books were given special status. The conversion o f the Slavs had been begun by Cyril and Methodius in the ninth century, ostensibly under papal authority but in fact preferring the traditions o f Greek evangelism which encouraged the use o f vernacular written liturgies. They devised the glagolitic alphabet specifi­ cally for writing Slavonic written texts. Subsequently German missionaries brought in liturgical books in Latin and insisted that only they had the authority o f the Roman Church. Competition between the Greek and Latin Churches meant that in the Czech lands in the eleventh century a bilingual written culture (in Latin and Slavic) was in existence, and occasionally even a trilingual culture (if a know ledge o f Greek is included as ell). As the Greek missionaries encour­ aged writing in the vernacular, one might have expected them to be much more influential than the Germans who insisted on the Latin rites o f the Roman Church. How ever, the success in the long term o f the Roman Church and the Latin liturgy' in Poland and Hungary, and even in the Czech lands to a consider­ able extent, show s how' closely written culture wras connected to political pow er. By the y'ear 1000 Latin was nobody’s mother tongue, and yet in western and central Europe it w as increasing rather than declining in pow'er because it w as treated by the Roman Church and intellectuals as the only true language o f literacy. The high point o f Latin writing came in the twelfth century' with St. Bernard. Abelard, Hildebert ofLavardin, John o f Salisbury, Otto o f Freising, and many others. All christianized medieval societies conferred extraordinary prestige on writing and devoted remarkable resources to the production o f books and docu­ ments. Investment in monks and illuminated manuscripts may' have consumed as large a proportion o f the wealth o f these societies as investment in schooling and information technology occupies in our own. Expertise in writing was deliberately confined at first to an elite o f monks and clerics, but its effects w ere w idespread and profound, if Christianization and the new- institutions it created arc included among the consequences o f “Iiteralization”. In their differ­ ent ways the articles and bibliography in this volume show- how medieval liter­ acy was part o f a larger and more inclusive network o f communication, which extended far beyond written language itself. Computers, the Internet and other recent inventions m information technology demonstrate that literacy has a great diversity' o f forms and that it is subject to change. Medieval literacy used

parchment books and rolls, illuminated texts, sealed charters, quill pens, the Latin language-all forms o f writing which are now archaic-and yet these forms persisted and renewed themselves for a thousand years or more. The artifacts of the Middle Ages are now preserved and exhibited in libraries, archives and museums throughout the world. Treating communication, in all its complexi­ ties, as a subject o f historical research in its own right promises to be a fresh way to understand the past and also to reassess our own experience o f literacy’s changing forms and demands.

New Approaches to Medieval Communication?1

MARCO MOSTERT

he question whether it is possible to approach medieval communication in a new way merits an answer. The bibliography at the end of this volume lists some 1580 publications on the subject: books, articles in journals and more than 800 contributions to collective works.2 This massive scholarly output deals mostly with the Middle Ages; the rest deals either with earlier or later peri­ ods, or with theoretical problems which ought to be of interest to medievalists. If one considers the publication date of these collected volumes, monographs and journals, it is clear that they date mainly from the 1960s onwards (until the year 1963, which saw the publication of several seminal works,3 merely several dozens of publications have been included), with the tide rising in the 1980s (1984 was the first year in which more than 20 publications on the subject were published) and 1990s. From the year 1991 onwards, more than 50 publications per year have been included.4

The contributors to this volume do not claim to have themselves developed highly original approaches to medieval communication. Their approaches are not “new” in this sense. Rather, they address questions which have been raised fairly recently in medieval studies about communication, literacy and orality, in the hope that their provisional answers might show others ways in which to arrive at some cogent answers. The question might be pul whether medieval communication is in itself a valid subject for research. The implicit answer given by the very existence of this vol­ ume is affirmative. In order to substantiate it, a historiographical review of some of the evidence accumulated in the bibliography can be given. Many surveys of the debate on medieval literacy exist;5 to my knowledge, no survey of that debate in the context of medieval communication has as yet been attempted. Communication as it is understood in this volume is a modern concept. We have to be clear about what it means in medieval studies before we can study medieval communication. On the basis of the literature on the subject, we may attempt to establish which forms and modes of communication were available to medieval men and women. Because written and oral modes have so far been at the centre of attention, we will pay attention to the words denoting the concepts of literacy and orality. As Anglo-Saxon and German scholarly traditions have been the most influential in this domain, we will limit ourselves to the terminology developed in those two languages. Once we are clear about what we mean when we talk about medieval communication, we may survey the contents of the publi­ cations on the subject. Finally, we may suggest some promising “new” approaches to medieval communication.

C om m unication and the S tu d y o f the M id d le A g e s “Communication” and its German equivalent “Kommunikation” are relatively late arrivals in medieval studies. “Communication” first makes its appearance in 1979, as part of the title of Michael Richter’s book on oral communication in England in the later Middle Ages.6 The word tends to be used initially for forms of non-written communication, be they oral7 or non-verbal.8 It may be used in of medieval communication can be shown to be so m uch received into the mainstream of medieval studies that scholars no longer need to expressly refer to the subject by using the terminology developed for it in their titles. s Nos. 31-74. f' No. 300. 7Nos. 1248(Assmann , 1980), 560 (V an U ytfanghe, 1984), 518 (K leinschmidt , 1988), 510

studies of daily life,9 more in particular of that of villagers.10 It is only very re­ cently that the word is used for forms of communication practised by powerful laymen who are also able actively to use the written word. Gerd Althoff’s use of “Kommunikation” in his studies of “political” and “symbolic” communication, which have been published from 1993 onwards,11 have made an impact in Mün­ ster.12Rather than on the rulers’and subjects’ ability to read, write, and understand the assumptions of written communication, the emphasis in his work is on the oral and non-verbal aspects of ritual. “Communication” denotes a topic different from that of writing and its uses. When oral and written modes of communication are compared, as in the case of Early Irish Literature-Media and Communication, an early volume in the Freiburg series ScriptOralia, published in 1989, the word “communication” seem to spring to mind because of the explicit reference to nonwritten communication.13There are as yet no attempts to use the word “communi­ cation” as a neutral term to denote the study of the whole set of forms of commu­ nication available to medieval man, together with the psychological and social implications of their use. Medieval history does not as yet seem to have grasped the importance of the insights of sociologists of literature, who correctly see writ­ ing as merely one of the forms of communication which may or may not be avail­ able in any given society.14 Or if medievalists have read their studies, they hardly ever refer to them. Because of the paucity of publications dealing explicitly with medieval com­ munication, there have been very few attempts to describe what the term “medi­ eval communication” may stand for. Apparently, medievalists are content to leave discussion of the concept to other disciplines. When they are merely dealing with an aspect of communication, they may be excused for assuming its meaning to be self-evident. When, as in the case of the present collection, the word is prominent in the title, an explanation of what is meant by “medieval communication” is necessary.

C om m unication It is common knowledge that without communication human society is incon­ ceivable. A society presupposes collaboration, and to enable this, communication, the exchange of information, is essential. Information comprises both statements (knowledge, ideas, beliefs) and instructions (purposes, values and norms). Thanks to the exchange of information people may influence one another’s hearts and minds. Without that influence no durable society is feasible; nor would it be possi­ ble for human individuals to hold their own biologically or psychologically. Com­ munication aids the satisfaction of biological needs: obtaining food and drink, protection, safety and procreation. Not only in his physical growth, also in his psychological development man depends on communication. It also plays a role in the development and satisfaction of interpersonal needs: recognition, status, affec­ tion, building the image that an individual has of himself and of his (social and physical) environment. Some fifty ways in which human beings may communicate among themselves have been distinguished, and dozens of disciplines study communication. It is therefore not surprising that many definitions have been proposed, most of which go back to the theory which the electrical engineer Claude Shannon developed for the American Bell company. Shannon published his Mathematical Theory o f Communication in 1948.15 To understand this theory, profound mathematical knowledge is necessary. Yet Shannon’s outline has proven influential outside the physical sciences. He distinguishes (1) a source of information, (2) a sender which encodes the message, (3) a channel which conveys the encoded message from the sender to the receiver, (4) a receiver which decodes the message, (5) the destina­ tion of the message, and (6) interference which causes the signal produced by the sender not to be received intact by the receiver. This outline applies to all forms of communication. In the case of human speech, for instance the source is the person who wants to impart a message, the sender is his voice which encodes the message in certain vibrations of the air, the channel is the air through which the sound waves travel, the receiver is the human ear which decodes the vibrations of the human voice, the destination is the listener (or listeners), and the interference is caused by all sorts of more or less fortuitous circumstances (such as air vibrations produced by others than the speaker) which disturb the transmission of informa­ tion. Shannon was interested in the maximum of information that could be trans­ mitted per unit of time, with the minimum of interference. He was not interested No. 28 (S hannon , 1949).

in the message as such. Nor did he devote attention to the process of communica­ tion in which the “destination”, the person for whom the information is intended, answers a message and thus becomes a “source”, while the original “source” be­ comes the “destination” of the answer. Many have tinkered with Shannon’s ele­ gant model in order to address its limitations. In the “process model of communica­ tion” of Oomkes, to take a random example, attention is paid to the contents of messages and the interaction which takes place when two human beings communi­ cate.16 He defines communication as follows: Communication is the exchange of symbolic information which takes place between human beings who are conscious of one another’s immediate or m ediated presence. This information is given, received and interpreted partially consciously, partly un­ consciously.17

This definition, too, does not seem to be wholly adequate. Although we obtain much information from the unconscious behaviour of the people we meet, such signals are quite different from consciously encoded messages. The sender must be conscious that he is providing information before we can speak of communica­ tion. An example may explain this. In the Early Middle Ages it was possible to indicate social status by hair-dress. The long hair of the Merovingian kings signi­ fied their royal blood. Those whom one wanted to exclude from royal succession were shorn. Hair-dress could therefore be used as a “medium” for the transmission of messages. When king Chilperic I was murdered at Chelles under mysterious circumstances, his body was recognized by its copious shock of h air.18 However, Chilperic was no longer conscious of the message he sent: he no longer had the possibility not to send this signal, for instance by covering up his long hair. A dead man does not himself “communicate”. In the suty of medieval communica­ tion the exchange of consciously encoded messages is privileged.

The Form s o f M edieval C om m unication Any attempt to reduce the fullness of medieval communicative behaviour to a rigid scheme risks to be both banal and soporific. Such a scheme has to take into account not only commonly known facts about the period, but also much that is 16 No. 26 (O omkes , 1986), p. 32. 17 No. 6 (O omkes, 1986), p. 44. 18J.M.

common to all human communication. However, a summary might be helpful of questions which might in principle be asked about any communicative behaviour encountered in medieval sources. This summary should obviously not be confused with a fully-fledged methodology or research strategy.1920With this proviso, the main variables in early medieval communicative behaviour seem to be the follow-

Who are represented by the “senders"? 1. supernatural beings: God; Christ; the Virgin Mary; angels; devils and demons; saints deceased; the souls of the deceased. 2. human beings, divided into 2.1 non-christians: Jews, muslims; and 2.2 Christians, divided into 2.2.1 clergy: secular clergy; regular clergy and 2.2.2 non-clergy: king; higher aristocracy; lower aristocracy; urban patricians; other town dwellers; agrarian population. Which is the sender’s sex? male; female; none. Which is the sender’s age? child; adolescent; grown-up; elderly; none. Which forms o f communication can be distinguished? attitudes; gestures; physical contact; visual signs; olfactory signs; fla­ vours; auditive, non-verbal signs; speech acts; writing as author; repro­ ducing written texts; reading aloud; reading silently; listening; comment­ ing; a combination. What is the subject o f the message? concerning the social function of the sender; concerning training or educa­ tion for a social role; concerning the image the social group of the sender has of itself and others; concerning social organization (normative and sanctioning; concerning government or management; concerning the rela­ tions with the supernatural; magical; concerning the organization of com­ munication; a combination.

19Other important questions may have to be included, e.g. where does the “sender” or “ receiver” come from? What is the esteem for “sender”, “receiver”, or message? Is the m essage serious or jocular? Is it menât to convey truth or fiction? etc. 20 Unfortunately, it is not possible to apply these questions quantitatively to medieval docum ents. The results would prove misleading, as the data are not suitable. Social groups are difficult to identify, a person’s age is hardly ever known, etc. Qualitatively, these questions can be answ ered only when we address the difficult task of trying to establish standardized descriptive criteria.

A few explanatory notes on details of this questionnaire may be necessary. In the Middle Ages, supernatural beings were considered to have properties which allowed them ro communicate freely with mortals. This means that they have to figure among the groups of senders (1) and receivers (6) of messages, together with the social groups studied until now. The study of the symbolic uses of writing is greatly helped by the provisional inclusion of these medieval “realities”. When we want to inform or instruct others, we need our senses, the receivers to decode the messages. Our message has to be encoded in olfactory, sapid, tactile, audible or visual form. Information, according to our twentieth-century ideas, may only be transmitted via physical media, and apart from his senses man has no “receivers” in Shannon’s sense. If, in the Middle Ages, someone thought a supernatural being to communicate a message by immaterial means, his appearance was usually de­ scribed as if it was perceived by the ordinary senses. The list of subjects of the messages communicated (5) is obviously not com­ plete: those listed concern mainly types of social activities with which historians are well acquainted. Some readers may be surprised to find that neither literature, art, nor music is represented by itself; they seem subsumed under the heading “concerning the image the social group of the sender has of itself and others”. This does not represent an aversion from aesthetics. Medieval communication, how­ ever, is an historical rather than merely a literary or artistic subject. All forms, products and traces of acts of communication are studied for the light they may shed on the subject. It will be clear that not all forms of communication were available to all medi­ eval men, nor to all medieval societies. More in particular, this is the case with the written word. And here a problem arises. When thinking about communication, recent research a tendency to focus its attention to oral and written messages. Verbal forms are indeed a privileged part of communication. Yet non-verbal phe­ nomena which may be apprehended by our senses are also potential channels of communication.

22

MARCO MOSTERT

Verbal forms of communication are privileged because they concern the spo­ ken and written natural languages. No society is conceivable without language. No human society is known to do without one, and we can hardly imagine how a group of humans could accomplish any but the simplest acts in its absence. How could one, without language, profit from the experience of others, let the others know one’s plans, or organize the tasks to be performed? Medieval societies, too, obviously attached great importance to verbal communication, and it is no coinci­ dence that many studies of medieval communication are devoted to the spoken and written word. Audible and visible media are extremely suitable for group use. The light perceived by the eye and the vibrations of the air captured by the ear may be “re­ ceived” over relatively long distances. Whereas smell, taste and touch demand the immediate vicinity of sender and receiver, these constraints are absent in the case of sound and vision. Thus, it is possible to communicate with more people at the same time. No doubt this possibility is one of the reasons why one has tried to give durability to visual and audible signs. Many of these signs (for instance gestures or exclamations) disappear, but they can be re-encoded in visual images or written texts. The spoken word is privileged by its flexibility and ease of use, but as a means of communication it is constrained by place and time: a discourse may be made only at a certain time, at a certain place. Man has leamt to control time and space by systems of coded material traces, such as writing, which call upon the eye. The relationship between writing and other forms of communication under­ went important changes during the Middle Ages. The development of medieval writing has to be studied in relation to changing social institutions. Writing was (as it still is) organized in social systems of producers and consumers of written texts. These systems interacted with other social systems, and technological inno­ vations in written culture are demanded by practical, social needs, might even argue that writing itself is also an institution, with its own canons.21

Literacy, orality and the study o f the Middle Ages Of all forms of medieval communication, the written word has benefited most from scholarly attention. Indeed, the study of communication is unthinkable with­ out the study of reading and writing, if only because the ability to participate ac­ 21 On literary and other codes, see No. 265, referring to B.

tively in written culture tends to colour and change the attitude towards all other forms of communication. The study of written texts is as old as writing itself, and the study of the medieval written word predates the explicit interest in medieval communication by many centuries. The sixteenth- and century scholars who founded historical criticism may be said to be the forerunners of the present-day students of medieval communication. Diplomatics, palaeography, philology and the other traditional auxiliary sciences of medieval history continue to contribute to the better understanding of communication in the Middle Ages. Nowadays, in the English speaking world the word “literacy” tends to be used for the study of all and any forms of written communication. Its possible meanings have inflated since the subject became en vogue in the 1980s and 1990s. In a study on “The extent of literacy in England in the fifteenth and sixteenth centu­ ries” published in 1930, J.W. Adamson took the word “in the humblest sense” merely to connote “the ability to read an English book, whether printed or in manu­ script”.22 This definition had the merit of being relatively clear. V.H. Galbraith, writing in 1935, also merely meant “the ability to read and write” by it.23 Things changed in 1963 with the publication of “The consequences of liter­ acy” by the anthropologist Jack Goody and the literary historian Ian Watt.24 Goody’s ideas, as well as the ideas of the classicist Eric A. Havelock, were to have a far-reaching influence in medieval studies.25 These authors suggested writing to be a possible motor of historical change. If they were right, and if the human mind was reorganized by learning to read and write, then instances of this reorganiza­ tion took place whenever someone became conversant with these technical skills. If the introduction of writing enabled social change, then the new forms of social and political life that developed during the Middle Ages might have been tributary to “literacy”. The first medievalists to use the English word “literacy” in the title of a publi­ cation after the thinking of the social scientists and classicists had sunk in, were F.H. Bäuml and E. Spielmann in their 1974 study of the Niebelungenlied,26 Bäuml was also one of the first medievalists to address the problem of literacy in a theoretical article, which appeared in Speculum in 1980.27 Meanwhile, the first surveys of literacy in individual medieval societies to appear: on the bookishness of the modem Icelanders and their assumption of the transmission of saga knowl­ 22 No. 292, p. 163. 21 No. 1092, reprint p. 78. 24 No. 89. 2' Cf. the “Index of m odem authors and editors” of the bibliography, s.v. 26 No. 1393. 27 No. 32.

edge;23*28 on the literacy of the late medieval Yorkshire gentry;29 on Anglo-Saxon England;30 on the Lollards;31 Byzantium;32 late medieval Florence and Venice;33 ... The list is almost endless. Simultaneously, attempts were made by medievalists to further refine the concept of literacy, for instance by adding adjectives to it. Thus we have visual, female, lay, cultural, early, professional, runic, Jewish, ver­ bal, Christian, pragmatic and religious literacy.34 In most cases the use of an adjec­ tive is elucidating; in some it creates metaphors for something which ought not to be termed literacy. It is merely evidence of the use of the current buzzword. Quite often “literacy” is used in opposition to “orality”. “Oral” has been com­ mon to denote spoken as opposed to written modes of communication for a long time.35The techniques of “oral tradition”, the transmission of knowledge without recourse to writing, have been a preoccupation of historians and literary historians for some time.36 The use of the term, however, seems relatively recent. Spencer Cosmos used it in 1977 in his study of Bede’s Life of St. Aidan.37 Since then, among other things due to the influence of the Belgian anthropologist Vansina, who was trained as a medieval historian,38 the term has become current. In 1986 ajournai called Oral Tradition started to appear.39 The word “orality” seems to appear in medieval studies as late as 1986, when Evelyn Birge Vitz uses it in a study of the Old French octosyllabic couplet.40 She explicitly refers to Walter J. Ong’s synthesis of 1982, Orality and Literacy: The Technologizing o f the Word.41 Ong can indeed be said to have done for orality what Goody and Watt did for literacy.

psychodynamics of orality”, he outlines the differences between thinking in oral and literate societies42-and, as like Goody and Watt, sees major adjustments to consciousness thanks to access to literacy.43 Because of the debate about orality in anthropological circles,44 medievalists, apart from literary historians who used it in a restricted sense,45 have tended to avoid the use of “orality” for about a decade;46since 1990 the term has gradually become accepted.47 In general, though, the use of “orality” remains restricted to certain forms of oral communication; and there is a tendency among medievalists not to speculate about orality’s possible implications for thought or the organization of society. The German terminology for literacy and orality had a slightly different devel­ opment. The nearest equivalent to “literacy” is “Schriftlichkeit”. In a posthumous publication of Fritz Rorig, published in 1952, he distinguished between “Schrift­ wesen”, the technical term for the conditions of the production of the written word in document or book form,48 and “Schriftlichkeit”, the degree to which the written word was used in any period. If this degree is so extensive that the use of writing may be assumed for everyone, then “general literacy” may be said to exist; if the use of writing in public and private life is absent or virtually absent, then “illiter­ acy” (“Schriftlosigkeit”) may be said to exist.49 The development of the meaning of “Schriftlichkeit”, influenced by Anglo-Saxon studies of literacy,50 is parallel to the development of the meaning of “literacy”. In German, too, adjectives have been developed, so that one has, for instance conceptual, vernacular, and prag­ matic literacy.51 “Schriftkultur”, the culture of the written word, one finds used as

a synonym o f‘‘Schriftlichkeit", although sometimes with a certain emphasis on the products of writing.52 Of the German adjectives applied to “Schriftlichkeit”, undoubtedly “prag­ matisch” has been the most useful. Used by Brigitte Schlicben-Lange in 1979,53 “pragmatische Schriftlichkeit” was taken up in Münster. There, in 1986, the Ger­ man research project 231 (“Sonderforschungsbereich 231”) started with the aim of studying “all forms of literacy which directly serve functional actions, or which were meant to teach human actions and behaviour by making available knowl­ edge”.54 Such forms of writing were deemed “pragmatisch”. Written texts were studied which were demanded by the practice of daily life (‘‘Lebenspraxis”), such as charters and statutes, but also, in the case of the literary elites, encyclopedias or collections of learned law. The Münster project ends in 1999. In the fifteen years of its existence the concept of “pragmatische Schriftlichkeit” has exerted a pro­ found influence on German scholarship.55 Recently, Richard Britnell, of the Uni­ versity of Durham, edited a volume on Pragmatic Literacy East and West, 12001300, in which he expresses his indebtedness for the term to Thomas Behrmann, a representative of the Münster school: “pragmatic literacy”, according to Britnell, “is broader in scope than ‘official literacy’ or ‘administrative literacy’, since it includes the use of writing for practical purposes other than law and administra­ tion. It has fewer ambiguities than ‘practical literacy’, which would otherwise be the closest alternative”.56The problem posed by the term is, that once the demands for written texts by the literate, mainly clerical elites are also to be studied under the heading of “pragmatische Schriftlichkeit” (as has been done in several partial projects of the Münster “ Sonderforschungsbereich”), the boundaries with what one might term “mandarin literacy” become fluid.57 As “literacy” is often opposed to “orality” in English, so in German “Schriftlichkeit” is opposed to “Mündlichkeit” or “Oralität”.58 “Mündlichkeit” is first used in 1979, in the title of a collection of essays on oral poetry, edited by two Dutch scholars.59 The concept has clearly been borrowed from Anglo-Saxon literNos. 266 (E hllrs , 1989), 35 (B randt , 1993), 245 (R aíble , 1993), 955 (cd.

ary scholarship. It has been at the centre of attention in the Freiburg school, with Wolfgang Raible expressly calling its programme of research “Transitions and tensions between orality (“Mündlichkeit”) and literacy (“Schriftlichkeit”)”.60 The German terminological development is different in that German has the possibility to form single words denoting the development of literacy and orality, a possibility not available in English. In 1980, Michael Giesecke wrote of the vernacular and the “development of literacy (“ Verschriftlichung”) of life” (in inverted commas) in late medieval Germany.61 “Verschriftlichung” became gener­ ally accepted in the 1990s,62 and its process character was strengthened by the use of “Verschriftlichungsprozeß” (“the process of the development of literacy”).63 Another useful German compound is “Verschriftung”, the (development of the) writing down of texts; one might say that the more texts are written down (“verschriftet”), the more the “Schriftlichkeit” of a society develops, together with the psychological and social implications that entails (“Verschriftlichung”). In 1993, Wulf Oesterreicher was the first to make the distinction between “Verschriftung” and “Verschriftlichung” explicit.64 In the light of this terminological development, it is understandable to see the substitution of the opposition “Mündlichkeit”- “Schriftlichkeit” by that of “Miindlichkeit”-“Verschriftlichung” in publications by Gerhard Dilcher and oth­ ers.65The new opposition implicitly stresses both the static character of orality and the dynamic character of literacy. Once “Verschriftlichung” had been given a name, degrees (“Stufen”) of literacy could be distinguished.66 The interaction between oral and literate forms of communication could be perceived more clearly, or at least given a less ambivalent terminology than in English. In 1989 Christoph Daxelmüller wrote of “literalized orality” (“literarisierte Mündlichkeit”) and “oral literacy” (“mündliche Schriftlichkeit”);67four years later, Franz Bäuml

talked of the same intermediate forms between absolutized orality and literacy.6” Recently, "Verschriftung” and “Verschriftlichung” have been used in relation with changes in the media of communication,69 a use of terminology which may con­ tribute towards the neutralization of certain still prevalent value judgments on the various oral, written and non-verbal forms of communication. The rapid review of the English and German terminologies for the study of medieval communication, literacy and orality could be repeated for the other lan­ guages in which work on the subject is being written. The word “communication” seems the least ambiguous (although French titles sometimes use “communica­ tion” in the titles of studies dealing with roads and waterways). There are prob­ lems with the other words we have examined. French, for instance, lacks words for “literacy” or “Schriftlichkeit” (although “culture de l’écrit” comes close in mean­ ing to “literacy” and “Schriftkultur”), but has “oralité” for “orality”. Dutch has the same flexibility as German, so that “verschriftclijking” can be used and under­ stood as German “Verschriftlichung”. But Dutch scholars share the problems of their German colleagues when they try to translate their terms in English70 The Slav languages have their own problems with “ literacy” and “Verschriftlichung”.71 But although the notions of literacy and the development of literacy are difficult to put into words in some of the European languages, this has by no means stop­ ped work to be done on the subject of medieval communication-even if some scholars, when they published their studies, were not aware that they might be extremely useful to self-confessed students of communication.

W hat h as been accom plished in the study o f m ed ieva l com m unication? Perusal of the bibliography makes clear that publications whose titles lack the words we have discussed have a bearing on our subject. Medieval communication as it is understood by the authors of this volume has been studied in one way or another from the beginning of this century-and even long before that. Although the bibliography represents only a small selection of work published before the 1960s and 1970s, it may be helpful to sec roughly since when publications ap-

peared, perusal of which may still be worthwhile at the end of the twentieth cen­ tury.72 Not surprisingly, palaeographers, diplomatists, codicologists and historians of reading have produced valuable work on the production and use of written texts long before the subject of medieval communication had been given a name. The topic of publication before the advent of printing was treated at least as long ago as 1913;73 that of the production of books in the vernacular in 1920;74 and the 1925 and 1927 publications of Joseph Balogh on praying, reading and writing aloud are still unsurpassed in the history of late antique and medieval reading.75 The interest of the palaeographical study of punctuation for the history of reading, however, did not become apparent until 1968,76 and the study of what space be­ tween words might mean for literate behaviour started only in 1979.77 The study of non-verbal communication, too, including as it does the objects studied by art history and musicology, has a long pedigree. Studies of smells, colours, clothes and symbolic objects other than what we nowadays tend to call works of art, are relatively scarce. The study of gestures, though it too has been broached before the Second World War,78 has been vigorously taken in hand by August Nitschke from 1967 onwards.79 He has been joined more recently by other scholars.80 Important work has been done on the interaction between the visual arts and other media, especially texts.81 Michael Camille’s 1985 publication “See­ ing and reading: Some visual implications of medieval literacy and illiteracy” betrays by its very title the influence of the literacy debate on recent art historical work on this topic.82

The investigation of the teaching of reading and writing still has to start with Henri Pirenne’s 1929 article in the first issue of th qAnnales on the instruction of medieval merchants, and his 1934 article on the education of laymen in Merovin­ gian France-if only to understand later modifications of the ideas he espoused.81*83 Medieval memory and the differences between oral and literate ways of re­ membering and forgetting became an object of research with Helga Hajdu’s 1936 study of mnemotechnical literature.84 The past as it was experienced in primarily oral medieval societies was first explored in 1970 by Michael Clanchy in “Re­ membering the past and the good old law”, an article predating much of the later concern with oral tradition.85 Surprisingly, the relation between writing and the religion of medieval laymen. There has been some interest in heretics,86 possibly because of the alleged links between Protestantism and the printing press at the very end of the Middle Ages. Hagiographical texts, too, have been studied for what they might reveal about the oral modes of communication of laymen.87 Similarly, studies of the magic of writ­ ing have provided some clues as to the uses of the written word by illiterates.88 But much may still be profitably explored in this domain. The study of the spoken word in the Middle Ages is still interested in the question of the end of Latin as a natural language. Ferdinand Lot’s question of 1931 (when did one cease to speak Latin?)89 has been often restated (for instance in Michael Richter’s review of the debate published in 1983)w but never satisfac­ torily answered.91The problem of the vernaculars, the province of modern philolo­ gists, has recently also been addressed by historians interested in the use of the vernacular in documents.92

Literary historians had long before the 1960s asked themselves questions about the relationship between oral and written verbal art. They had noticed re­ marks in the written texts they studied which seemed to suggest that oral versions might have preceded the written versions they were left with. Already before the Second World War appeared The Growth o f Literature. It was a three-volume attempt, edited by H. Munroe Chadwick and N. Kershaw Chadwick,93 to answer the question whether under similar circumstances similar forms of literature were likely to be produced. They compared European medieval forms of heroic litera­ ture with twentieth-century heroic literature produced all over the globe. Among other things they asked how writing changed the production of literary works. Even before that, in 1928, the American classicist Milman Parry had discovered that in the oral composition of literary works such as epics formulas were used, stop-gaps to fill out verses.94 In 1960 Albert B. Lord’s The Singer o f Tales ap­ peared,95 in which the views of Parry were presented anew, and ever since has been a veritable hunt for “oral formulas” in medieval epics, and a concomitant glut of articles on “oral formulaic theory”.96 Literary historians have also become sensitive to the information to be culled from the manuscripts in which medieval literature survives. Back in 1941-1942, Henry John Chaytor realized that medieval scribes had relied on “auditory mem­ ory” rather than modern “visual memory”, and concluded that “the difference between auditory and visual memory can be made a basis for emendation”.97 The influence of orality and on reading and on manuscript lay-out became ever more important outside palaeographical circles. Historians among medievalists started to produce surveys of the development of communication and literacy after the Second World War. Heinrich Fichtenau’s Mensch und Schrift im Mittelalter was published in 1946.98 Its immediate influ­ ence in the German speaking world seems to have been limited; only after the reception of Anglo-Saxon ideas about literacy was its subject matter to arouse enduring interest. Similarly, the works of Rörig99 and Grundmann100 were to be 93 No. 1253 (C hadwick and C hadwick , 1932-1940). M. PARRY, L ’Épithète traditionnelle dans Homère (Paris, 1928).

subjected to criticism only after the 1960s. In England, too, Henry John Chaytor’s From Script to Print: An Introduction to Medieval Literature, published in 1945,101 was to exert its main influence only after a generation. The intensification of historical research on communication in the Middle Ages occurred after the 1960s. At first, attention concentrated on the relationship between oral and written communication. Scholars saw themselves living in a period of revolutionary technological change which brought about considerable changes in personal and social life. This made them acutely aware of the changes which the introduction of the printing press in the fifteenth and sixteenth century had caused. Research became sensitive to the influence of the channel by which messages were transmitted. And more than before questions were asked about the socio-economic position of the producers of written texts.102 Simultaneously, in linguistics the idea became current that not only spoken language, but also other symbolic systems had a syntax, lexicon and semantics of their own: written lan­ guage was no longer seen as a description of spoken language, but as a distinct system with its own rules and references. The various media began to be compared (going backwards from the electronic word via the written and spoken word to non-verbal communication) and their differences rather than their similarities were stressed. We have already had occasion to mention the publication of Jack Goody and Ian Watt’s article “The Consequences of Literacy” and the “technologist” trend it started.103 The first medieval historians who, after Goody and Watt, occupied themselves with the problem of medieval communication, seemed convinced of their being right. This was understandable: had medieval history not, over the last centuries, via palaeography, codicology, diplomatics and other “decoding scien­ ces” occupied itself with the technicalities of written communication? One ob­ served for instance that, as the Middle Ages progress, writing is introduced in ever more social spheres. On began to wonder under which circumstances the introduc­ tion of writing took place. One wanted to know when exactly written communica­ tion had supplanted the spoken word as the most valued form of communication. There were sources enough for this kind of enquiry: the whole of the surviving written texts was at the disposal of the researcher. It was possible to compare the production of written texts (including the production of copies of written texts) in different centuries, or in different geographical areas. When historians also devel294 (C l a n u iy , 1993), first edn. (1979), pp. 177-181. lül No. 279 (CHAYroR, 1945). 102 Sec the synthesis in No. 210. l0,See supra, p. 000.

oped an interest in the spoken word, they could go on to ask how this gigantic production of written texts reflected the spoken word. However, the early efforts by pioneering medieval historians concentrated on written culture, and (involun­ tarily or not) there was the suggestion that one communicated either orally or by means of writing. That there were societies in medieval Europe which got by with­ out any recourse to writing at all was a problem which for the moment was all but disregarded. With hindsight, discussion of the theses of Goody and Ong, among medieval­ ists as among social scientists, was often muddled by the fact that the participants talked about different things. Some of them talked about the techniques of oral and written communication, without considering their possible implications for other aspects of medieval culture. Others believed that changes in communication tech­ nology had a certain limited influence on psychological and social structures. Others again saw “oral” and “literate” as words summarizing two all-encompass­ ing cosmologies. Recently, discussions are slightly more dispassionate, but they may still flare up occasionally. Historical research on medieval literacy has gradually worked backwards from the printing press through the definitive “take-off’ of “pragmatic literacy” in the eleventh and twelfth century to Carolingian Europe and even further back. It is clear from the bibliography that no area in Europe escaped the historians’ atten­ tion. It is also clear that the attention is not evenly spread over regions and topics. Germany, England and Ireland have been studied relatively well, whereas there are few studies on France, Italy and the Iberian peninsula. Central and Eastern Europe, too, benefit from few studies.104 For the early medieval period, we have the publi­ cations inspired by Rosamond McKitterick’s investigations of Carolingian liter­ acy. In her The Carolingians and the Written Word of 1989105 she evaluated the uses of literacy by concentrating on the surviving written texts. This book was followed in 1990 by her edition of a collection of essays, The Uses o f Literacy in Early Medieval Europe ,106in which the question of the relative importance of written and non-written communication plays a significantly greater part. This change of emphasis reflects developments in other disciplines. It had always been clear that the spoken word continued to play an important role also after the intro­ duction of writing. The problem of the relationship between speech and writing gradually developed from an “either/or”-question into a “more/less”-question.

One of the first questions addressed by historians was that of the literacy of groups outside the literate elites (which at first were considered to consist of cler­ gymen only). Were the English medieval kings literate? V.H. Galbraith asked himself in 1935.ltP Did women participate in literacy? Herbert Grundmann asked a year later.1™Were there monks who did not know how to read and write? Alfred Wendehorst wanted to know in 1963.109 When the obvious truth sunk in that not all medieval clerics were scholars, the literacy of regular and secular clergy was investigated.110 All social groups have been dealt with, including the illiterate peasants: in 1984, Aron Gurevich devoted attention to the “peasant visions” of twelfth- and thirteenth-century oral and written culture as he deduced them from learned Latin texts.111 Surprisingly, the use of writing in government, management and trade was addressed relatively late as a topic of research in its own right. Probably this has to do with the fact that general surveys of medieval literacy tend to privilege these uses of the written word. Diplomatics, legal and institutional history had always studied the use of documents. In 1971 Ruth Schmidt-Wiegand drew attention to the relationship between the spoken word and legal symbols in “German” Carolingian poetry.112But there are few studies until the appearance of Michael Clanchy’s From Memory to Written Record: England 1066-1307 in 1979.113 This work, which by no means deals only with government and administration, may be said to have been an inspiration for the German preoccupation with “pragmatische Schriftlichkeit”. Recently, the specialists of charters and documents have begun to realize the importance of rephrasing their research questionnaire in the terms of medieval communication and literacy. In 1997, for instance, Olivier Guyotjeannin, Laurent Morelle and Michel Parisse devoted an issue of the Bibliothèque de l ”École des Chartes to the uses of documents in the eleventh century,114 in which recent research on orality and literacy has been taken into account.115 Another very promising recent development is the shift in attention from juridical texts to the settlement of disputes.

edited by Wendy Davies and Paul Fouracre in 1986,116 stresses the function of documents among those of other forms of communication. Thus, the relative im­ portance of the written word in medieval judicial practice can be ascertained.117 Ritual and its juxtaposition of non-verbal, oral and written forms of communi­ cation seems the most recent addition to the study of medieval communication. As in dispute settlement, so in other “public” rituals the role of the written word can be shown to have been less important than earlier concentration on the extant written sources seemed to suggest.118 Consultation, demonstration and stage set­ ting of emotions show, according to Gerd A lthoff s recent analysis, to have been more important than writing in the medieval political game119 Similarly, the partic­ ipation of the aristocracy in the medieval liturgy, studied in 1995 by Horst Wen­ zel, shows the written word to have been only one form among many to represent the drama of Christianity.120 Not only written texts, visual images, too, have to be replaced in the context in which they were seen in order to be fully understood.121 We have concentrated this short review on the first publications dealing with specific aspects of medieval communication. As a consequence, certain titles of major importance have not been mentioned. They can, however, easily be traced in the bibliography. The aim has merely been to show when certain questions were first put, in order to find out when certain approaches to medieval communication are first expressly attested.

Conclusion A first conclusion from this rapid survey imposes itself: research is centred ever more on the question of the relative importance of writing, seen as part of the whole of medieval forms of communication. This change of perspective consti­ tutes a clear challenge for future research, and suggests a first approach to the subject. The earlier surveys of the uses of writing insisted on the preserved sources. Almost all sources, verbal as well as non-verbal, have been used for the study of 116 No. 1206 (ed. D avies and Fouracre , 1986). 117 Cf. the contribution of Karl Heidecker to this volume (No. 1197). 11!i See the contribution o f Mariëlle Hageman to this volume (No. 487). 119 Nos. 476-479 (A lthoff , 1990,1 9 9 3 ,1 9 9 6 and 1997). 120 No. 631 (W enzel , 1995), pp. 95-127. m M.

communication: objects, such as archaeological remains, town plans, monuments, works of art. books and documents, and iconographical and verbal “texts”. Any object which has come down to us from the Middle Ages may inform us as to aspects of medieval acts of communication, and not only those sources may be put to use which were explicitly meant by their authors (or makers) to convey informa­ tion to contemporaries or to posterity . Images were clearly meant to convey a message, and used a visual vocabulary, grammar and semantics which are just as difficult to interpret as those of verbal messages. The continued study of their messages provides another promising approach. Written texts form the privileged sources for the student of medieval commu­ nication, not only because of their intrinsic interest as depositories of the written word, but also because other forms of communication may be translated into writ­ ing (oral discourse, but also the symbolic systems of music and mathematics), or at least be described in written texts. Without written texts the symbolic meaning of objects, including visual images, would remain obscure or simply unknown. The study of descriptions of non-verbal and oral communication is a third major approach to medieval communication. Medieval written texts may also tell us something through the study of the copies in which they survive. Written texts may be copied, read, commented upon and translated in other times and places, and by others than those for whom they were originally intended. The message of the author may be changed, consciously or unconsciously, by ulterior readers. Written texts have to be studied not only for what their authors intended their message to be, but also for what others made of that original message. Copies may be as interesting for the study of medieval communication as original texts as they survive in autographs or apographs, or as they have been painfully reconstructed by philologists. The study of the transmis­ sion of written texts constitutes a fourth approach to medieval communication.122 Furthermore, the study of the organization of the texts as it is apparent in their subdivisions and in the lay-out of the manuscript page may suggest psychological changes over the medieval centuries.123 Apparently minor changes in punctuation or even word spacing may be signs of more important changes.124 This suggests a fifth approach. Are these five approaches new? After the foregoing discussion of the publica­ tions on medieval communication the answer must be cautious.

The Audience of Early Medieval Hagiographical Texts: Some Questions Revisited WOLFERT S. VAN EGMOND

n impressive number o f hagiographical texts has survived from the early Middle Ages. These texts have proven to be rich sources for the study o f a wide range o f subjects.' They are considered to have served purposes which allow us to look through them into the heart o f early medieval societies. However, there are still some important unresolved problems con­ cerning their contemporary reception. Two related questions are central to these problems: which groups o f people were intended as the audience o f the stories in these texts, and how were these people reached? Even though much research has been done on this subject over the years, these matters have been only partly clarified.12

In order to investigate the role o f writing within a general spectrum o f early medieval communication, my present research is concentrated on hagiographical texts written in the dioceses o f Auxerre, Utrecht and Würzburg.3 To gain some insight into the meaning and value o f the stories contained in these texts, it is of course necessary to consider their audiences and uses, or, put differently, to consider to whom and in what manner the contents o f hagiographical texts were communicated. This article is a provisional attempt to consider hagiographical writing from this point o f view.

How Was Hagiographical Knowledge Disseminated? Reflecting on the question how hagiographical texts may have been used, it seems that three ways can be distinguished in which somebody in the early Middle Ages could become familiar with their contents.4 The first possibility was the private reading o f a hagiographical text. Next, texts could have been heard while they were read aloud by someone else. This might have happened in a church or a monastery, but we should not exclude places like royal palaces or village squares. Finally, a person might have heard the contents o f a 1979: Typologie des sources du moyen âge occidental33), pp. 109-120.

The Audience o f Hagiographical Texts

hagiographical text being recounted by somebody who had previously read or heard it. This last way o f becoming acquainted with hagiographical information is the most difficult to study. As we are primarily interested in the intended reception o f hagiographical texts, here we shall merely consider the possibility that a hagiographical text was read by someone with the purpose o f afterwards communicating its contents orally. Such a practice seems especially fitting for the kind o f preaching in which a written text was not itself read aloud, but served as an aid or inspiration for oral discourse. Is it possible to find passages in the sources from the early Middle Ages indicating that these three ways were indeed practised? The standard example for the first two possibilities is provided by Alcuin in his Vita Willibrordi. In the prologue he informs bishop Beomrad o f Sens (also abbot o f Echternach) that he has obeyed his request to write about the life and miracles o f saint Willi­ brord, and has produced two books, one proceeding in prosaic speech, which can be read out aloud to the brethren in church, if this seems suitable to your wisdom ; the other one striding with poetic feet, which should only be rum inated upon by your scholars (scholasticos) in the solitude o f the c e ll.... To the first book I have also added a homily, w hich hopefully m ay be worthy to be preached to the people by your venerable m outh.5

Alcuin mentions three possible uses o f his texts, two o f which seem to correspond to possibilities that we distinguished above, i.e. reading aloud and private reading. Yet it is unclear what kind o f private reading Alcuin intends. On the one hand he could envisage private reading by a single person in his own cell, on the other hand he could imagine occasions at which the inner intel­ lectual circle o f a clerical community gathered in the private room o f its abbot or bishop for intensive, collective study.6 It is not clear exactly how Alcuin imagined the homily he had written to be delivered to the people. Was it to be 5 A lcuin, Vita Willibrordi archiepiscopi Traiectensis{BHL Nos. 8935-8939), ed. W ilhelm LEVISON in: Passiones vitaeque sanctorum aevi Merovingtci5, ed.

read out, or was it to be declaimed by a preacher who had read and memorized it? Here we touch upon a problem that is common to the study o f most homilies and sermons that have come to us from the Middle Ages: the difficulty, if not the impossibility, o f determining the relationship between the text o f a sermon as it has been written down and the version that once may have been spoken before or after the text was fixed in writing.7 We shall return to this problem below. Alcuin not only distinguished three different uses o f his texts, he also spoke of three different audiences. Is it possible to say more about the different audi­ ences that could have been reached through the various possible uses o f hagiographical texts? Two separate approaches may bring us closer to an an­ swer. First, we can consider what knowledge was required for people to become acquainted with the contents o f hagiographical texts, and who in the early Mid­ dle Ages met these requirements. Looking at the three options distinguished above, it is clear that private reading was the most demanding. One had to be able to read in order to be able to study a written text privately. And since al­ most all texts during the early Middle Ages were written in Latin, people need­ ed to understand Latin to be able to grasp the meaning o f a text even when it was read out to them. Hence the central question that has to be answered is one which has occupied scholars for a long time: who understood Latin? The an­ swer is not as simple as has sometimes been thought, especially not regarding the area where the Romance languages came to be spoken. Elsewhere, one may assume, Latin texts always had to be translated if they were to be understood by those without Latin training. A lively debate is still going on about the relation­ ship between Latin and the Romance vernaculars.8 This discussion has implica­ tions for the question o f the possible audience o f Latin hagiography. Possibly a Latin text served as a basis for an oral delivery either in Latin or in the ver­ nacular, with only a knowledge o f spoken Latin being required on the part o f 7 Jean L o n g èr e , La prédication médiévale (Paris, 1983), pp. 155-164. 8 M arc V a n U y t fa n g HE, “Le latin des hagiographes m érovingiens et la protohistoire du français.

the audience. Naturally, in the sources at our disposal this type o f reception is the hardest to grasp. Another approach is to see what the hagiographical texts themselves tell us about their intended audiences. Over the years important research has been done on this subject.9 We have a reasonably accurate picture o f the different ways in which hagiography was used in a monastic environment. From analysis of the prologues o f hagiographical texts it has become clear that in Carolingian times a relatively small, mostly clerical audience was envisaged, while under the Merovingians the laity had also been intended as an audience.10The reasons for this change are far from clear. However, on the basis o f the prologues we cannot exclude that other people than those mentioned were reached as well. In both approaches it is very difficult to distinguish between the possibility o f a text being read out aloud and that o f an oral discourse based upon the same text. Later on in this article we shall see whether we can say anything about preaching in general in the early Middle Ages, and consider whether that infor­ mation has any significance for our understanding o f the use o f hagiographical texts.

The Debate on Latin and Romance The study of the relationship between Latin and the Romance languages has a long history. Since the Romance languages evolved out o f Latin, research has tended to focus on this evolution itself and on the period when the Ro­ mance languages had become definitely different from Latin. No consensus on this subject has yet been achieved; roughly speaking it is possible to discern three distinct schools o f thought.11 According to a first group o f scholars, the Romance languages had already become separated from Latin around 500 AD, at the time when the Roman empire had ceased to exist in the West. A second group is of the opinion that the separation was accomplished (at least in Gaul) in the eighth century. A final group argues for a decisive separation (again in Gaul) only in the ninth and tenth centuries. The debate on this topic was greatly enlivened in the early eighties by the publication o f Roger W right’s book,Late

Latin and Early Romance in Spain and Carolingian France, which strongly argues in favour o f a late separation o f Latin and Romance. We will not be able to provide any new arguments. However, a few re­ marks are necessary to illustrate the prevailing uncertainty. In the past, much attention has been devoted to the classic question when Latin ceased to be spo­ ken as a mother tongue.12For our purposes an answer to the reformulated ques­ tion, that is when Latin ceased to be understood, is far more important.13 The answer to this question is important for assessing the possibilities available for reading written texts to an unlearned, even illiterate audience. Once Latin was no longer readily understood, it became necessary to make translations o f writ­ ten hagiographical texts. As a result, the possibilities for disseminating the contents of these texts would have been limited.14 More recently some have maintained that in a way Latin never ceased to be spoken. It simply evolved and was then given other names, such as French or Italian.15 This point o f view may be too naive when taken literally, but it does draw attention to the fact that the language o f our texts, which we call Latin, became ever more restricted to writing, while at the same time becoming a less and less perfect match for the language o f everyday speech. In the written lan­ guage the traditional rules for vocabulary, grammar and orthography were followed, while the spoken language evolved into the different Romance languages.16 Because people who learned to read and write were taught the traditional rules, they were less aware o f the growing gap between spoken and written language. Hence a distinction has to be kept in mind between linguistic changes on the one hand and contemporary awareness o f those shifts, together with changing opinions about them, on the other. These latter changes have been termed metalinguistic changes.17 12 Put this w ay by Ferdinand LOT, “A quelle époque a-t-on cessé de parler latin?”, Archivum Latinitatis Medii Aevi (Bulletin Du Cange) 6 (1931), pp. 97-159.

The Audience ofHagiographical Texts

47

With these considerations in mind, is it possible to determine when Latin, read aloud, finally ceased to be understood by an uneducated audience? We can only reach vague indications o f when this occurred. It is undeniable that a num­ ber o f the linguistic changes which were to lead to the development o f the dis­ tinct Romance languages had already taken place in Antiquity. Some early Christian authors were conscious o f problems in communicating the Christian message to uneducated people, problems which were not merely o f a stylistic nature. Nevertheless, well into the sixth century and possibly beyond the basic unity of the spoken and written forms o f the language was not broken, and it was therefore possible to read out texts to uneducated people and be sure that they understood them.18 From around 600 AD the evidence o f the sources becomes ambiguous. Norberg proposed to distinguish a period from around 600 ad to around 800 ad in which the spoken language evolved from Latin into Romance, so that the gap between the spoken and the written language became unbridgeable.19 As we have seen, however, there is also a group o f scholars who think that, in Gaul at least, this transition started in earnest only around 800 ad. They argue that this development was not complete even by the tenth century.20 Wright has called attention to the changes brought about by the Carolingian reforms. The Carolingian reformers, and especially Alcuin, who was himself a native speaker o f Old English, cut the organic connections between the written and the spoken forms o f language by imposing a new way o f pronouncing written words. Every writ­ ten letter was given to represent one distinctive sound. This new manner o f pronouncing Latin replaced the traditional way, in which some letters might be voiced in several ways rather than being restricted to representing one distinc-

tive sound only.21 Thus, in W right’s view a text that was read out in the new manner would have become incomprehensible to an uneducated audience, even if that same audience would have understood the text if it had been read out according to the traditional rules o f pronunciation. In the beginning, this new pronunciation would only have been used for the “ritual” parts o f the liturgy. Other parts o f the liturgy, demanding comprehension o f the message o f the text, as e.g. the sermon, would have been voiced in the traditional pronunciation.22 With time, the new pronunciation led to experiments with spelling in order to put into writing the traditional, colloquial pronunciation. But for the moment there were, according to W right’s thesis, merely two different ways o f writing the same language and, partly independent from that, two different ways of pronouncing the one Latin language. Only after several centuries did this situa­ tion lead to separate languages, Romance and medieval Latin. In Gaul this situation would have been reached around the year 1000, in Spain only in the thirteenth century.23 As a result o f this theory, the discussion o f the relationship between Latin and Romance is very much alive, but general agreement on the issues is still far away. If according to some philologists the period around 800 merely brought to the surface linguistic changes that had already occurred centuries earlier, while others are o f the opinion that around 800 the decisive changes only star­ ted,24 where does that leave the non-specialist? The historian who wonders whether or not the texts he or she uses as sources could be understood by uned­ ucated people is left with a period o f at least four centuries o f uncertainty! Nevertheless the philologists’ debates hold important lessons for historians. They make at least clear that we should not dismiss out o f hand the possibility that uneducated people might understand Latin. In combination with the recent arguments in favour o f a higher level o f literacy in early medieval society than had been thought possible before25 historians now have to reckon with a larger audience for the texts in the language in which they survive. In other words, Latin may have been understood by more than merely a small group o f edu­ 21 22 23 24

cated clerics. Obviously an assessment o f the understanding o f Latin must still take into account differences in region, period, and social group. But we should be open to the possibilities offered by W right’s model. The philologists’ debate about Latin and Romance has significant implica­ tions for our question, but no clear answer. Let us now turn to the hagiographical traditions themselves in order to see what kind o f information they offer.

Hagiographical Traditions Much work has been done on the uses o f hagiographical texts in the early Middle Ages. Research has focussed on the various uses o f hagiographical texts in and around monasteries; much less attention has been paid to their use in other contexts. Baudouin de Gaiffier has shown how these texts were used in a liturgical setting, and has made clear that this practice started at different times in different regions.26 While for Africa there is evidence that hagiographical texts were used in Mass as early as the fourth century, in Gaul the first signs of this development date from the sixth century, and in Rome their liturgical use seems to have become customary only around 800. It seems that the custom disappeared relatively early, for evidence o f hagiographical reading during Mass becomes very rare after the eighth century. There were however liturgical occasions requiring hagiography other than Mass, especially in the context of monastic liturgy. The reading o f hagiographical texts during the monastic of­ fices is well attested, also after the eighth century.27 There are many examples which show that in the monastery the texts were read on other occasions, such

as in the refectory,28 or in the training o f the young members o f the commu­ nity.29 Even hagiography written within a monastic context could have reached a non-monastic audience. This is clearly indicated by Alcuin’s prologue to his Vita Willibrordi, where he states that the homily added to the prose vita was intended for preaching to the people.30 An obvious occasion for such discourse would have been the saint’s feastday, when groups o f pilgrims visited the mon­ astery. In non-monastic churches which owned relics o f important saints, the same practice must have been observed.31 Are there clues to the intended audience in the hagiographical texts them­ selves? They sometimes occur in the statements o f the authors about the public they had in mind. Such a statement, if made at all, is usually found (as in the case of Alcuin’s Vita Willibrordi) in the prologue.32 However, such passages hardly answer all our questions. It is possible that in his prologue the author had in mind a very specific public, for example one community or even one family,33 ignoring any other intended audience. One may also find the mere :8 The author o f the Vita altera Bonijatii, e.g. tells how he read out his text to his brethren: Vita altera Bonijatii auctore Radbodo qui dicitur episcopo TraiectensHßtlL No. 1401), c. 18, ed.

The Audience o f Hagiographical Texts

statement that the text was intended for “the faithful”, which is too vague for our purposes. Furthermore the authors hardly ever specify how the text was expected to reach the intended public, and as a result it is unclear whether a given text was meant to be read out or to serve as an inspiration for preaching. This is true even when we exclude private reading as a form o f reception be­ cause the prologue explicitly points at an unlearned audience. Despite these reservations, the authors still give us some useful information about the public they intended to reach. Their prefaces seem to indicate signifi­ cant changes towards the end o f the eight century. Marc Van Uytfanghe and Katrien Heene34 have shown that, whereas in the Merovingian age hagiographers wrote (some of) their texts also for a lay audience, Carolingian authors hardly ever mention a non-clerical public, or only in very general terms. Fur­ thermore, in Carolingian hagiography we find a preference for references to reading (such as legere and lector) over terms alluding to hearing (such as audire and auditor). A text that speaks o f reading may still have been read out, but the increase in the use o f legere and lector suggests that an audience famil­ iar with reading skills is intended. Furthermore, when terms designating listen­ ers are used, the context often makes clear that a clerical public is envisaged, a group where a certain acquaintance with reading may safely be expected.35 As an example o f an hagiographical text from the earlier period which was explicitly intended for laymen, we may consider the Vita Amatoris, written around 600 by a certain priest Stephanus.36 In the letter o f commission from bishop Aunarius o f Auxerre (573-603) which, together with Stephanus’s an­ swer, serves as a preface to the vita, laymen are explicitly mentioned as the text’s public:37 It is know n to you, beloved brother, how great the variation is o f hum an m inds and how m uch not only the witless people (inane vulgas) but even the w hole o f the nobility is tom asunder by opposite passions.

order that I may be able to meet everybody’s wishes and that nobody will be disappointed in his desire, it would please me if you would describe some lives o f the holy confessors in a free foot and would arrange others constrained by metrical law; for this reason I beseech the full friendship of your love for me not to desist from changing the life o f the most holy bishop Germanus into the quality of verse, and to describe the life o f the holy Amator in prosaic m odulation... ,38

Aunarius’ playful opposition between the inane vulgus and the nobilitas has been connected with his succeeding remarks on the different preferences for either verse or prose; somewhat surprisingly, this has led to the conclusion that members o f “the nobility” were connaisseurs o f both these genres. There is no reason, however, to think that Aunarius designated his audience in such a precise manner. He merely observes that men in general have varying tastes, to introduce the disparate genres o f prose and verse.39 Unfortunately, he does not describe the context in which he expects his public to encounter these texts, but his allusion to melodies and rhythms in the case o f verse might point to a performance going beyond simply reading aloud. The context o f reception is important. It gives an indication o f the possible public of individual texts. If we consider hagiographical production as a whole, indications o f context may also provide clues to the reasons for the changes taking place under the Carolingians. Two possibilities come to mind. The first is that because o f linguistic changes the texts could no longer be read out to an unlearned audience in a way that was intelligible. If this were the case, then the change of the intended audience is an argument against the theory o f a late separation o f Latin and Romance. We shall come back to this later. Alterna­ tively, the authors may have aimed at a different audience because o f changes in the liturgy o f Mass which no longer left a place for hagiographical readings 38 Vita Amatoris, p. 135: “C ognitum tibi est, carissim e frater, et quae sit hum anarum m entium diversitas, et quem adm odum in studia contraria non solum inane vulgus, verum etiam universa scindatur nobilitas: et quidam quidem prosaico oblectantur stylo, quidam autem numeris se rhythmisve ac cantibus versuum delectari fatentur. Ergo, ut om nium votis occurrerem, et nullus suo desiderio frauderetur, placuit mihi, ut vitas beatissim orum confessorum quasdam pede libero describeres, quasdam vero lege m etrica im peditas digereres; ob quam rem obsecro unitam m ihi tuae dilectionis am icitiam , ut beatissim i Germ ani episcopi vitam in versuum qualitatem com m utare non desistas: Sancti vero Am atoris prosaica m odulatione describas ...”. A part from som e variations in spelling, the edition o f G u n d l a ch , p. 447, differs from the edition ofDURU by tw o words. G u n dla ch gives “describerem ” and “digererem ” instead o f “describeres” and “digereres”, w hich I consider a m ore logical reading. It is not know n w hether or not Stephanus actually wrote a verse version o f the Vita Germani. 39 Aunarius did not have in m ind a public o f only noblem en as stated by Va n U y tfa n gh e , “L ’hagiographie et son public”, p. 57, and V o n d e r N a h m e r , Die Lateinische Heiligenvita p 174.

The Audience o f Hagiographicai Texts

in that context. Possibly their disappearance from the Mass was caused by the growing use in Gaul o f the Roman liturgy to the detriment o f indigenous Galli­ can rites.40 Whether this was indeed the reason remains unclear. However, most extant hagiographicai texts were too long to be read out in full during one ser­ vice. In the liturgy o f the monastic hours this posed less o f a problem, because one could divide the text into a number o f lessons, and read it over several services.41 Outside the monastic liturgy this was a less likely solution, as there was no way to ensure that the faithful would return to hear the rest o f the text. Two well-known examples reveal that only parts o f the texts were expected to be read during services. The prologue o f the Vita Eligii, which in its surviv­ ing form probably dates from the middle o f the eighth century, implies that for the feast o f the saint a selection should be made: Therefore, whenever w e celebrate the annual festivities o f the saints, w e should recite (recitare) in praise o f Christ som ething from their deeds which is suitable for the instruction o f the Christian people, since w hatever is praisew orthy in His saints is truly a gift o f Christ.42

More explicit is Hincmar o f Reims (845-882) in his Vita Remigii. In his prologue he not only says that the text is meant both for reading to an audience during the festivities o f the saint and also for private study by readers, but moreover that he has indicated in the text which passages are suitable for these different purposes. The passages meant to be read out to the people were mark­ ed with asterisks, while those for the educated reader had a paragraph sign at the beginning and an antisimma at the end: As these headings [o f the preceding table o f contents] have indicated, in the following little w ork are inserted things from the holy Scriptures and the sayings o f the Catholic [fathers] and also from histories fit to instruct and exhort the readers. In order that those things do not all com e to be recited (ad recitandum) before an audience o f the people, for w hom it suf-

The Vita Remigii shows that in the middle o f the ninth century a vita could still be meant for an unlearned audience. It also shows that the text was proba­ bly used in a liturgical setting, since Hincmar mentions the occasion o f the saint’s feasts. Yet it remains impossible to draw conclusions about the exact manner in which this text would have been communicated to an unlearned audience. Hincmar uses the word recitare, which, taken literally, might be seen 43 Vita Remigii episcopi Remensis auctore Hìncmaro (BHL Nos. 7152-7164), prologue, ed. in: Passiones vitaeque sanctorum aevi Merovingici et antiquiorum aliquot, ed.

The A udience o f Hagiographical Texts

as a proof that at the time the people o f Reims could still understand a Latin text when read out to them. But is that a valid conclusion? Heene has the im­ pression that the differences between the marked passages only involve con­ tents, not syntax or style.44 Probably Hincmar first composed the whole o f the text and only afterwards went through it to mark the different passages; in that case the distinction would have been merely an afterthought.45 One may wonder whether this text is not the product o f the scholar’s study rather than a work grown out o f pastoral experience. If so, it is questionable whether much weight can be given to the choice o f the verb recitare for the description o f how the text was to be transmitted to a listening audience. Did Hincmar really expect the people o f Reims to understand the text when it was read out to them? Or was his choice o f words that o f a highly literate man, who momentarily forgot that “reciting” might not be the appropriate word to de­ scribe the manner in which his text would be delivered to his flock? The same observation might be made about the prologue o f the Vita Eligii, which also uses recitare. With this uncertainty we have arrived once more at the problem o f the relationship between Latin and Romance. Hagiographical texts have been ad­ duced in the debate on this topic, but did not provide decisive support for any of the competing theses. Most often the Vita Willibrordi in its different forms and the Vita Richard,46 written by Alcuin, have been cited. The prologues of these texts give some intriguing information, which is difficult to interpret. In the Vita Richard Alcuin expressed his astonishment that the monks o f Saint Riquier thought they did not need a new text about the miracles o f their patron: To m y utter surprise the aforem entioned, mem orable man Angilbert told m e this, as did the spiritual brothers o f that sam e holy place, that they had there, and at several churches, a rather large codex in which could be read the m iracles on account o f w hich the whole o f Gaul exalted, not without reason, the holy confessor o f Christ. The brethren agreed that this description sufficed them , since in their eyes its sim ple and unpolished speech (locutio) seem ed m ore appropriate for reciting (ad recitandum) to the people.47

Apparently the monks expected that a new text written by Alcuin would be too difficult to be used. But too difficult in what manner? Were they afraid that the new text could no longer be read out to the people in an understandable way, or that they themselves, while preaching, would have more problems translating the text into the vernacular because o f its more elaborate style? In both cases the problem would apparently have been the style o f the text rather than its language. Unless one takes recitare as a decisive proof that the text was read out rather than translated, the passage does not prove that a text in Latin could still be understood when it was read out. Earlier we cited Alcuin’s prologue to the Vita Willibrordi in which he states that he has written a prose vita which could be read out to the brethren in church and a vita in verse for intensive study.48Alcuin was not the first to write on one subject in both prose and verse. In England Aldhelm and Bede had done the same and bishop Aunarius o f Auxerre asked the priest Stephanus to rework the Vita Germani in verse, so that the coexistence o f vitae in prose and verse was not unknown in Gaul around 600 either.49 In fact, the tradition stems from late antique rhetorical training, in which the paraphrasing o f poetic texts in prose was considered an useful exercise. Before Alcuin the prose and verse versions of a vita were already seen as together constituting one single work; but he was the first to present them as a dyptych.50 And he also added a homily which, he said, could be preached to lay people. It is tempting to draw far-reaching conclusions from A lcuin’s choice o f words. He writes that the prose vita could be read out (legi), while the homily was to be preached {praedicari). We may assume that the preacher had some leeway to depart from the written text. But does this really point at a difference in communicating these texts? Or did Alcuin simply us qpraedicari as the obvi­ ous word in combination with omelia?51 These intriguing questions must re­ main unanswered. Two things emerge from the evidence o f the hagiographical traditions. The first is that, although the texts themselves do give some indication about their descriptionem consenserunt”. 4S See note 5. 49 See note 38. so G em ot W ill and . “ Geminus stilus: studies in Anglo-Latm hagiography”, in: Insular Latin Studies, ed.

The Audience o f Hagiographical Texts

intended audience and the context in which this audience was to be reached, they give us hardly any concrete information about the performance o f the texts. One cannot clearly distinguish the acts o f reading out the texts and preaching. Preaching could be done using a book, and legere or recitare do not always necessarily have to mean “reading aloud”. So far, however, with very few exceptions only a small number o f well-known texts have been adduced in the literature on this subject. Perhaps more information is hidden in texts which are lesser known and which seem not quite so spectacular. Heene has shown that enlarging the corpus can provide new insights into the general develop­ ments o f the hagiographical tradition.52 The reason for the differences in audi­ ence between Merovingian and Carolingian hagiography remain unclear. As­ cribing apparent shifts to linguistic changes causing the definitive separation between Latin and Romance is appealing, but cannot be substantiated. Returning to the central question o f the intended reception o f hagiographi­ cal texts in the early Middle Ages, the case for private reading seems clear enough. Considering the other possibilities, we are faced with the likelihood that in practice the reading out o f texts may easily have developed into oral exposé on the basis o f written texts. If so, we are faced with an unbridgeable gap between the preserved written texts and the oral exposés based on them that have gone forever.

H agiographical Serm ons a n d P reaching This problem is familiar to students o f sermons and homilies. They know that the texts they deal with are not necessarily the texts that were pronounced in preaching. Perhaps knowledge o f early medieval preaching will provide some clues for establishing the possible audiences o f hagiographical texts? Research into early medieval sermons was and still is mainly concerned with the study of written texts rather than with the act o f preaching. Clearly a distinction has to be made between the sermon as an oral discourse, which is usually held in a liturgical context or during a meeting with a religious purpose before a physically present audience, and the sermon as a published text with an implicit, more or less anonymous public. Both oral discourse and written text contain comments on the Faith and moral injunctions which are thought to 52 HEENE, “ M erovingian and Carolingian hagiography” . ID., “Audire, legere, vulgo".

be important for their respective audiences.1*53 The relations between the two are often unclear. A sermon may have been written beforehand and read out or expounded upon during oral delivery. It may also have been written out after­ wards on the basis o f an earlier sketch or outline, or from notes made during the delivery of the sermon. A written sermon may even have had nothing to do with any actual preaching. Establishing the relationship between the written and oral versions o f a sermon which one knows has actually been pronounced, is one of the most difficult tasks in this kind o f research.54 In sermon studies as in the study o f hagiography, the most telling indicators for oral delivery are o f a linguistic nature. Surviving early medieval sermons from continental Europe are all written in Latin, even those written in Germanic speaking regions. From Anglo-Saxon England we also have sermons in the vernacular. On the Continent the vernacular was used for writing sermons only from the high Middle Ages onward.5556Nevertheless, even if written, vernacular sermons were available in the later Middle Ages, it was quite common for preaching in the vernacular to use texts written in Latin?6 For the early Middle Ages the evidence is less clear. In both royal and episcopal legislation from the eighth and ninth centuries, preachers are admonished to preach regularly and in a way that could be understood by their flock. As an example we may cite from the well-known synod held by Theodulph o f Orléans in 797: S1 G.C.

The Audience o f Hagiographical Texts

59

W e exhort you to teach the people. H e who knows the Scriptures let him preach the Scrip­ tures, but whoever does not know them , let him at least tell the people w hat he knows best: In order that they depart from evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it, for the eyes o f the Lord are upon the righteous and his ears are [open] unto their prayers; but the face o f the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut o ff the rem em brance o f them from the earth (Psalm 33,15-17). Then no-one will be able to m ake excuses for him self on the grounds that he has no language in which to edify anyone.57

Part of this legislation seems to have been inspired by the resolution to solve problems in preaching arising from inadequate knowledge o f the priests.58 At the same time there is evidence, especially from the Germanic speaking regions, that preaching used the natural language o f the flock, and that preach­ ing aids were developed. This seems to be the reason for the production o f Old High German texts in the abbey o f Fulda. These German texts were, just as the Latin texts produced in the same centre, intended first o f all for the clergy. They show that German was accepted as a language for instruction in the Faith.59 Even though the surviving early medieval sermons are written in Latin, and even if many were certainly written for study by a monastic audience,60 a part o f this material seems to have been intended for popular preaching as w ell61 A rare description of preaching in the vernacular around 800 is given in the Vita Gregorii, written by Liudger in the last decade o f the eighth century or in the 57 Theodulph o f Orléans, Capitula ad presbyteros parochiae suae c. 28, ed. in: Capitula episcoporum 1, ed.

early years o f the ninth.62*Liudger was a Frisian who as a child had been given into the care o f Gregory, the leader o f the monastic community at Utrecht and the hero of the Vita Grego rii. Later on, Liudger studied with Alcuin in York. After working as a missionary among the Frisians and Saxons he ended his life as the first bishop o f Münster (804-809). Most o f what we know about Liudger is told by Altfried, his cousin and second successor as bishop o f Münster (839849), who wrote the Vita Liudgeri.61 At the beginning o f the Vita Gregorii, Liudger tells the story o f how Greg­ ory met Boniface at the age o f fifteen.6465This happened in the conventPalatiolutn near Trier, which was led by Gregory’s grandmother Addula. Boniface stayed one night on his way to Thuringia. During dinner someone was needed to read from the Scriptures and Gregory, who had just returned from the palace, was given the task. We are told that Gregory performed remarkably well for his age. When the lesson was finished, Boniface praised Gregory and asked whether he understood what he had read. Gregory said he did, but when Boni­ face asked him how he understood it, he started once more to read out loud from the beginning. Soon Boniface interrupted him and explained his earlier question: “I did not ask you, m y son, to give m e only your reading, but to explain your reading to me in your own words and in the natural language o f your parents”. And he, convinced through the correct reasoning by his superior, and not having any other reasons h e could resort to, confessed that he was unable to do that. So the holy B oniface asked: “ W ould you like me to tell you, son?” A nd he answ ered: “Y es”. Then the blessed B oniface said: “R epeat from the beginning your reading and read distinctly (discrete)". A nd so he did. T hen the holy m aster started to preach in frank language (libera voce) to the abbess and the whole com m u­ nity.6' 62 Liudger, Vita sancti Gregorii abbatis Traiectensis (BHL No. 3680), ed.

As a result o f this Gregory became so impressed by Boniface that he wish­ ed to be his pupil. He urged his grandmother to allow him to follow Boniface. From then on Gregory was the pupil and follower o f Boniface. According to the Vita Gregorii Gregory helped Boniface in his activities in Germany, trav­ elled with him to Rome, where Boniface was ordained bishop, and finally be­ came the leader o f the Utrecht monastic community which was founded by Willibrord, and where, we are told, among many others he educated Liudger66 In this passage we see how Boniface improvised a sermon in the vernacular on the basis of a biblical passage read out in Latin. This is significant, because the whole o f the Vita Gregorii seems to be about preaching and educating. Both Gregory and Boniface, who in the first half o f the vita almost eclipses Gregory, are depicted as great preachers and teachers who convert multitudes and edu­ cate a large number o f pupils.67 In view o f the emphasis on preaching which pervades the whole text, the story o f the meeting o f Gregory and Boniface has important implications.68 From Boniface’s explanation o f his question to Gregory, we might be in­ clined to deduce that the saint asked for a translation o f the passage that Greg­ ory had read,69 and that when a translation was not forthcoming he provided one himself. But what Boniface did is described as praedicare, preaching. And from the wording o f his question to Gregory it becomes clear that Boniface did ask for more than just a translation. Both in his initial remark, “you read well, if you understand what you read”,70 and in his question, “tell me, how you understand what you read”,71 Boniface employed the words o f the apostle Philip’s question to the Ethiopian eunuch who was reading Esaias (Acts 8,30).72

M The Vita Gregorii is alm ost the only text that inform s us about Gregory. Other vitae that mention him depend m ostly on the Vita Gregorii for their information. However, in his passages about Boniface Liudger does not prove to be a reliable source. He turns B oniface’s first two, short stays in Frisia, which together lasted a little over three years, into a long period o f thirteen years. Cf. Ian W oo d , “M issionary hagiography in the eighth and ninth centuries”, in: Ethnogenese und Überlieferung. Angewandte Methoden der Frühmittelalterforschmg ed.

This is no doubt a conscious quotation. Just as the Ethiopian became a Chris­ tian through Philip’s explanation, Boniface’s preaching incited Gregory to become his pupil, and, later on, a preacher and teacher like Boniface himself. Apparently Boniface’s manner o f preaching, improvising in the vernacular on the basis o f a Latin text, was the kind o f preaching Liudger saw as the hallmark of the true preacher. Another story mentioning preaching in the vernacular is the Passio maior Kyliani which was probably written in Würzburg in the middle o f the ninth century.71*Here we are told that, when the Irish monk Kilian came to Würzburg in the last quarter o f the seventh century, he preached in the vernacular. The author stresses the importance o f such preaching in spreading the Faith. Then the honourable m an gradually started to serve the unbelieving people the food o f the divine W ord. The Lord offered him such a grace that in a short tim e he learned the speech o f the people (gentis loquelam) and could give them the seeds o f the Truth in their own language. A nd everybody w ondered not only about the new teaching, but also about his abundant eloquence. Faculty o f speech was accom panied by efficacy o f virtue. In him was fulfilled what the Truth had prom ised the apostles: “I shall give you a m outh and wisdom ” (Luke 21, 15), and also: “The works that I do, shall you do also” (John 14, 12).74

Shortly after this passage the Passio maior Kyliani gives a glimpse o f what the content o f missionary preaching in the vernacular should be. As K ilian’s efforts became successful, he was brought before duke Gozbert, who wanted to know about the new doctrine that Kilian was preaching. Kilian availed himself of the opportunity and expounded the Christian faith by pronouncing a Creed. W hen the blessed m an had com e to him [duke Gozbert], he started steadfast to expound the doctrine o f the true religion, saying that there is one G od. the m aker o f visible and invisible creation, consisting o f a Trinity o f persons and an unity o f Divinity; and that Jesus Christ, who was crucified by the Jew s, was in one person truly G od and truly m an, in his divine nature the equal o f the Father, in his hum an nature m ade m ortal, through W hom the rational 71 Passio maior sancti Kyliani et sociorum ems (BUL No. 4661), ed.

and m ortal creation, misled by the deceit o f the envious enemy, m ay be mercifully restored.75

Apparently, in the middle o f the ninth century it was considered proper to preach in the vernacular about Christian dogma. This is not very surprising, since it would be foolish to try to teach people in a language they did not under­ stand, such as Latin, as was doubtless the case for most o f the inhabitants o f the diocese o f Würzburg.76 We may conclude that in the early Middle Ages it was normal for preach­ ing to be done in a language that was understandable to illiterate people. When­ ever the spoken language was somehow different from written Latin, the writ­ ten texts were adapted to the spoken language. What implications does this have for the reception o f hagiographical texts? Although most sermons expounded material taken from Scripture, some also used other, e.g. hagiographical material.77 Alcuin’s homily on Willibrord has already been mentioned several times, and he also wrote an accompanying homily to his Vita Vedasti,78 These homilies were meant for the laity. From the diocese of Utrecht, four sermons on saints have survived attributed to bishop Radbod (900-917); these were probably meant for a monastic audience.79 For 75 Passio maior Kyliani, c. 8, p. 15: “Ad quem cum a beato viro perventum esset, constanter verae dogm a religionis insinuare coepit, docens: unum esse Deum, visibilis et invisibilis creaturae auctorem , in trinitate personarum et unitate divinitatis consistentem ; Jesum Christum a Judaeis crucifixum, in una persona \ erum Deum verumque hominem, in natura divinitatis aequalem Patn, in natura hum anitatis factum m ortalem , per quem rationalis m ortalisque creatura, invidi hostis fraude decepta, sit m isericorditer reparata”. 76 M c K itter ic k , Frankish Church, pp. 187-192.

the eleventh century, De Gaiffier has demonstrated the existence of hagiographical sermons aimed at pilgrims visiting monasteries.80 There are references to the oral transmission o f hagiographical stories by lay ioculatores.81 It is just as difficult to establish how hagiographical sermons were used as it is to arrive at conclusions about any other sermons; but at least they reveal that in the early Middle Ages hagiographical material was used for preaching to unlearned audiences. We can now compare these modest data about early medieval sermons with what is thought to be known about the writing o f hagiography for lay audiences in Merovingian and Carolingian times. The conclusion may be that, although under the Carolingians hagiographers apparently wrote in the first place for a clerical public, it is very likely that hagiographical texts could still be transmit­ ted to unlearned audiences through oral performances other than reading the texts themselves. The latter might have been feasible in areas where Latin could still be understood when a Latin text was read aloud. Elsewhere, expositions in the vernacular based on Latin texts must o f necessity have been the rule.

M anuscripts o f H a g iographical Serm ons A final example o f a sermon may point to a new avenue for studying the reception o f hagiographical texts. Information may be gained by scrutinizing the manuscripts in which the texts survive. The Sermo in festivitate sancti Marsi presbyteri et confessoris is preserved in a composite German manuscript from the eleventh and twelfth centuries, kept in the Vatican library (Codex Reg. lat. 497).82 The sermon itself, written in a hand from the first half o f the twelfth century, tells about the translation o f the

The view s on thcioculatores o f M ichael RICHTER, The Oral Tradition in the Early Middle Ages (Tum hout, 1994: Typologie des sources du Moyen Age occidentallT), are highly problematical. 82 Sermo in festivitate sancti Marsi presbyteri et confessoris, ed.

relics o f Saint Marsus from Auxerre to Saxony in 864.83 The author was among the Saxons who went to Auxerre to obtain the relics.84 In the text and in the margins a number o f small changes and notes is visible, which point at the use made o f the manuscript. In the margins are written the numbers il, ill, v, vi, vu and vili; the letter “F” occurs several times. The numbers indicate different lessons, whereas the “F” must be read as Finis, indicating the end o f a lesson (although not every number has been provided with a corresponding “F”). Later on, changes were made in the number and size o f the lessons. The new lessons partly correspond to changes made within the text. The name Marsus is crossed out in several places and replaced by the name Felix, and at the beginning martyris Felicis has substituted confessoris Marsi. Since the contents o f the new lessons was o f a rather general nature, it was very easy to adapt the text on Saint Marsus into a text on the martyr Felix. Once this was done, the next step was to change some o f these passages into a kind o f passe-partout for the cele­ bration of any saint by inserting phrases like “the most glorious confessor lord N, whose feast we celebrate today, was sad ...”, and writing A as an alternative before the names Marsus and Felix?5 This Latin sermon seems to have been written for a monastic audience. The almost formulary character o f the final set o f lessons points at a reading aloud o f at least the selected parts in a monastic setting. More importantly, the manu­ script suggests that in oral delivery the whole o f the written text was not neces­ sarily pronounced: parts o f it could be taken out and used on there own, even if the text was a sermon apparently meant to be preached in toto. It seems likely that further study o f hagiographical manuscripts, with due attention paid to their structure, the organization o f the hagiographical texts they contain, and the minute changes made by their users will provide us with valuable information on the intended and actual audiences o f medieval hagiographical texts.86

P rovisiona l C onclusions We have tried to get a bit closer to the audience o f the surviving early me­ dieval hagiographical texts. O f course the conclusion remains that we do not really know. Only a relatively small group was able to read the texts independ­ ently. In the sixth and seventh centuries probably the whole population o f the (later) Romance speaking areas could understand Latin hagiographical texts without special training when they were read out to them. This possibility had certainly disappeared (in Gaul) by the year 1000, but it is not clear when ex­ actly problems in understanding spoken Latin arose. Whenever this happened, reading the surviving hagiographical texts aloud was rendered unpractical as a means of communicating their contents to unlearned laymen. In both the Ger­ manic and the Romance speaking areas alike, at all times a hagiographical text might be used in preaching. A Latin text could inspire or aid preaching in a language understandable to laymen. We may assume that this use of hagiographical texts was quite common, but there is no means to establish how widespread the practice was. The authors o f the texts may have been aware o f the homiletical use to which their writings were put, but did not find it neces­ sary to allude to it. They wrote first o f all for a clerical audience, which was at least semi-literate. Since it is impossible to make general statements about the audience of hagiographical texts, it will be necessary to consider every single text individu­ ally. If we limit ourselves, as has been customary in discussions o f the topic so far, to a small number o f well-known examples, we run a grave risk o f arriving at erroneous conclusions. In the debate on the relationship between Latin and Romance, a very small number o f hagiographical witnesses is commonly in­ voked: the Vita Eligii, Alcuin’s Vita Willibrordi and Vita Richarii, and Hincmar’s Vita Remigii. The risk o f generalizing from such a minute sample may be mitigated by enlarging the corpus o f texts. Katrien Heene has brilliantly re­ vealed an important change in the intended audience o f hagiography by study­ ing a large number o f Merovingian and Carolingian texts. The few examples from Auxerre, Utrecht and Würzburg mentioned in this article show that it may be worthwhile to include the hagiographical production o f these dioceses in future studies. However, not only the study o f “new” texts may increase our knowledge. A fresh look at the manuscripts o f already well-known texts may also prove fruitful. The manuscript o f the sermon on Saint Marsus serves as an example o f the valuable information a manuscript-oriented approach may pro­ vide. Most likely the definitive answer to the questions of the audience o f early medieval hagiography must remain elusive. Yet a careful reading o f the few

“Send More Socks”: On Mentality and the Preservation Context of Medieval Letters1 MARY GARRISON

he extant latin letters from early medieval western Europe can be com­ pared to the tip of an iceberg. Yet they are an unrepresentative sample. They can be demonstrated to constitute the merest subset of the total num­ ber of messages drafted and sent-namely the letters which were intentionally preserved and copied, usually because someone produced a letter-collection from some part of a sender's drafts. Principles of selection varied of course, but in gen­ eral the selectivity entailed by intentional preservation on parchment has ensured that entire categories of written communication either do not survive or else are barely attested. Informal letters, letters by the laity, ephemeral business notes (evidence of what is termed “pragmatic literacy”) and love letters are categories are all poorly represented in the extant corpus. This lacuna has sometimes led scholars to postulate reliance on oral communication for spheres of activity for

which letters are lacking. Through circular reasoning, widespread lay illiteracy has both been seen as the cause of this lacuna, and has been inferred from it. Comparing these Latin letters preserved in libraries with letters from other contexts which were deliberately discarded and subsequently recovered from ar­ chaeological sites can open the way to a more optimistic assessment of the extent of written communication in the early medieval West. A survey of the voices from the garbage dump-the letters on wood excavated at the Roman fortress at Vindolanda, the Bryggen harbour site in Bergen and Medieval Novgorod-can provide an illuminating contrast to the corpus of Latin letters from the early medieval West.

It is an untested commonplace that “government, trade and administration” rather than literature and religion have been the foster parents of literacy.2 Yet one only has to look at the development and use of new communications technology in our own day to be reminded how quickly a fundamental human need, the need for contact and communication, takes its place alongside pragmatic and administrative motives for literacy-above all, where communication rather than record-keeping is concerned.3 There is perhaps no more vivid reminder of the primacy of this impulse than the phenomenal popularity of the internet, e-mail and mobile tele­ phones, developed for defense and business use but now media for non-stop so­ cializing and recreation. But while we have the luxury of cheap and rapid or even simultaneous com­ munication technology, and are correspondingly profligate with our written and oral long-distance messages, the extant letters from the early Middle Ages in contrast were laboriously dictated in Latin and conveyed by messengers in a world where travel was slow and dangerous, costly in time and risk if not money.4 From the surviving corpus of Latin letters from the early medieval West, one can get the impression that written long-distance communication was primarily reserved for theological disputes and high politics and that oral communication was over­

whelmingly important in other spheres. But is the impression a fair one? Can the extant letters be regarded as typical in any meaningful way? Before one can generalize about the nature of written communication in a past society, it is essential to assess the representativeness of the messages that survive. What letters did people choose to save? What did they discard? And how are these two categories reflected in the surviving evidence? The vast majority of extant medieval Latin letters are available to us because they were intentionally preserved and recopied, and lucky enough to escape destruction. But what of those which encountered bad luck and no good intentions? It would be a mistake to draw con­ clusions about literacy and even mentality in a past society by assuming that the extant material is all that once existed. To arrive at a more nuanced and positive estimate of the importance of written communication in the early medieval West, one must consider the problem from as many angles as possible. First one must consider how the extant letters came to be preserved. Then the extent of lost letters must be assessed, qualitatively and quantitatively. Possible correlations should be sought between the writing support, contents and preservation context of the extant letters. Finally, comparanda from other cultures with contrasting survival patterns for written communication can be invoked. It is a striking fact that regarding Latin letters of the early medieval West we possess almost exclusively texts that were deliberately preserved, whereas for other medieval cultural areas, only letters deliberately discarded are available for study. The purpose of this article is to pursue some of these lines of attack (though not all with equal thoroughness) and to explore the consequences of a fundamental contrast-that between what one might call “garbage dump” evidence for literacy and letter-writing on the one hand, and manuscript evidence on the other. It may be useful to begin with some remarks about lost letters and then to examine the correlation between the material on which letters were written and their contents. Letters preserved on parchment and intentionally stored in libraries and archives can seem to reveal a mental world completely different from that illustrated by texts from archaeological excavations.

L o st Letters Lost evidence for communication can be approached quantitatively, by cata­ loguing evidence for deperdita in existing collections and by listing entire collec­ tions known to have perished. A qualitative approach is also possible and invites

one to consider groups of people or activities and achievements which could not have been accomplished without literate skills and communications.5 For example, some of the monumental earthworks of the early Middle Ages, Offa’s dyke and the Karlsgrab (Charlemagne’s unsuccessful attempt to have a canal dug to join the Rednitz and the Altmühl) must have required numerous messages to requisition labour, food and shelter, not to mention considerable surveying skills. Wooden and papyrus records can show us how the Roman army and its bureaucracy met these challenges, but the records are largely silent for eighth-century rulers.6 Does this entitle us to assume that such projects were arranged orally and on an ad hoc basis? (I would argue that the burden of proof is on the oralists!) More mundane arrangements also surely entailed written communication. Letters of excuse and letters of commendation for travellers are two other important categories of activ­ ity requiring written communication; both must once have been exceedingly nu­ merous, but only the tiniest fraction of their original quantity has been preserved. Messages announcing a king’s travels and arranging food and shelter for the men and animals in his retinue are also exceedingly rare. Likewise, letters concerning domestic affairs, laundry and farm- and estate management are also poorly represented among Medieval Latin letters. Yet it is obvious that the everyday business of ordinary people, not just rulers and clerics, can also benefit from or even require literate means for its accomplishment.

The cloak that I left at Troas, with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, specially the parchm ents.9

Such written messages about new clothes and forgotten clothes sound strange­ ly familiar despite their diverse origins. They are a category of everyday message that is still coming to light: until a couple of decades ago, the first two texts were unknown, still buried on pieces of wood in the damp ground of Novgorod and Corbridge, respectively, while the third text lurks in the Pauline epistles. A dedi­ cated reader of the large corpus of letters assembled in the volumes of the MGH Epistolae series might register them with interest: for although allusions to fish­ ing, short cloaks, bad beer and large print books can be found there, references to material culture and everyday life are relatively scarce and must be patiently culled from the ubiquitous topoi of amicitia, requests for reciprocal prayers, long discus­ sions of theology and politics, and other characteristic preoccupations of highranking ecclesiastics and rulers. Why should practical and informal messages be so poorly represented in the corpus of extant letters? One might try to explain their scarcity by an appeal to widespread popular illiteracy, by assuming, in short, that those who forgot their shirts were usually unable to read or write, while those who could write had dele­ gated responsibility for their laundry and other practical matters to others. But those assumptions are not only too simple; they are also untestable. They do not satisfactorily explain the lacunae in the evidence. Instead, it may be more illumi­ nating to analyze the patterns of preservation for medieval latin letters between the sixth and the ninth centuries.

The most fundamental feature of medieval Latin letters is that they were al­ most without exception intentionally preserved through recopying into manu­ scripts, usually letter-collections or miscellanies. Because of their exceptional authority, papal letters and those concerned with church discipline had slightly better survival chances and might survive as originals or through inclusion into various normative compilations. Thus we owe extant letter-texts to a combination of deliberate selection with good luck. It is well known that scarcely any medieval Latin letters survive in their original form. There are perhaps less than half a dozen from before the year 1000 and the note inscribed on the back of one remarkable exception explains why.11 It reads “useless letter’ -useless, that is, because the letter lacked legal value in the eyes of those who ensured its preservation in a monastic archive. Accordingly, letter collections are the most important vehicle for the transmission of letters. Letter collections could be assembled either from the sender’s drafts or from the receiver’s copies; the two processes are known as Absenderüberlieferung or “sender transmission” and Empfängeriiberlieferung or “receiver transmission”. Apart from papal letters and letters perceived to have important bearing on eccle­ siastical questions, which are often disseminated by receiver transmission, most early medieval letters are preserved in collections more or less closely associated with their senders and in many cases it can be shown that a close associate or later hagiographer was responsible for recopying the preserved drafts of outgoing let­ ters. But whereas classical, late antique, and twelfth-century letter-writers had often issued carefully edited collections of their letters12 the impulse to produce authorial collections waned and is scarcely detectable between Avitus of Vienne (ca. 500 AD) and Alcuin (f804). Surviving collections can be demonstrated to

contain only a small fraction of a writer’s epistolary output, and entire collections associated with other individuals can be shown to have perished completely.13 Thus, even the letters that were intended to be saved had poor chances of survival. In addition to collections more or less closely associated with a single individual (though perhaps containing letters by associated contemporaries), some miscellaneous or mixed collections were compiled; the criteria for inclusion are not always clear-cut, but items transmitted in these miscellaneous collections may be united by their destination or their place of origin or both.14 Mixed collections are often termed formularies, although the designation can be misleading, since the evidence of annotations and extant letters does not justify the assumption that all so-called formularies were intended to serve as models for drafting letters; elemen­ tary instruction and reading were among the many purposes of mixed collections.15 Documentary formularies should be distinguished from mixed letter collections. Although texts are frequently anonymized in both sorts of collections, anonym­ ization cannot be taken as a criterion for identifying formularies. Collections associated with named individuals are usually one-sided as a result of a standard ancient and medieval archiving practice, the segregated storage of incoming letters and drafts of outgoing letters (still a feature in most e-mail pro­ grammes).16 As a result, paired letters and replies are unusual. Thus despite the fact that letters as a medium are intrinsically dialogical, the surviving epistolary evidence is overwhelmingly one-sided. And so recipients’ reactions to invective and flattery are usually unknown.17 Letters not copied into collections or formularies had slim chances of survival. If of outstanding interest, they might be incorporated into a history or chronicle.

Or, for reasons we can only guess at, they might be copied onto a fly-leaf or a blank leaf in a manuscript.18 In some cases such preservation clearly reflects the intention to preserve a text, especially when the letter had some documentary value; in others, the copyist’s attitude to the text is impossible to divine. One can only conclude that this category of copying reveals contemporary awareness of the vulnerability to loss of stray items on single sheets or parchment or other media. A rare example of a palimpsested letter seems to attest to both an attempt to pre­ serve and to destroy.19 As a general principle it seems that stray letters by other­ wise unknown individuals will owe their preservation to the initiative of receivers or messengers rather than the writers, but this apparent regularity may be a selffulfilling-prophecy: if an obscure individual’s literary remains (including his own drafts of his outgoing correspondence) perished with the archives of his monas­ tery, then of course the only writings by that person to survive will be those multi­ plied or preserved in other locations. One might call this pattern “receiver-transmission preservation of the stray letters of obscure people”. It can help to explain the gender bias of the Latin epis­ tolary evidence. Letters by women tend to survive in receiver-transmission incor­ porated into the letter collections associated with men, usually the men they wrote to, even though female letter-writers, like men, must often have saved their drafts and must have engaged in correspondence with both men and other women. Thus the letters of Jerome’s female correspondents, those of the mothers of Desiderius of Cahors and of Leodegar of Autun,20 or of Radegunde of Poitiers, of women in the Boniface-mission, of Alcuin’s female correspondents, and of Einhard’s wife, either survive in small numbers embedded in other collections or else are attested only through the replies of their male correspondents. These literate women were surely engaged in correspondence with more than one other person, but their own drafts generated no surviving independent sender-transmission collections. A number of factors may have contributed to this lacuna: women letter-writers might have lacked literary executors, scriptorial resources or the esteem and interest that ensured recopying of their letters.21 Whether receivers and collection-compilers 18 Fur one example o f fly-leaf letters, sec B.

preserved these letters from women as curiosities or because they realised that the women’s letters would otherwise be unlikely to survive is a matter for speculation. Interrupted institutional continuity and library histories could also account for the loss of any collections that once existed. Yet although one can suggest that women’s religious houses suffered from more institutional discontinuity, poverty, or library disruptions than men’s institutions, it is not possible to substantiate or even test this hypothesis here. The only clear conclusion is that women’s letters must once have existed in appreciable numbers and that they had poorer chances of survival than letters by men. But gender bias is not the only distortion incurred by the survival patterns of the evidence for early medieval correspondence. The fact that we depend on eccle­ siastical copyists means that many categories of correspondence would have been neglected or systematically excluded. Texts concerning daily affairs, estate man­ agement, arrangements to supply or shelter a royal army are massively underre­ presented in the extant evidence, although writing and even some rudimentary bureaucratic forms were surely necessary for many of these. Here, deposits from garbage dumps rather than libraries and archives can enrich our perspective. The medieval Latin letters extant today are a demonstrably minute subset of the letters which contemporaries strove to preserve or else neglected to destroy. What of those they deliberately discarded? In short: the nonchalance about originals, later recopying and preservation by third parties, the transmission of letters in collections associated with single indi­ viduals of responsibility and influence- all of these characteristic features of early medieval Latin letter collections on parchment have far-reaching implications, both for our ability to interpret extant letters and for our capacity to guess at the tenor and even the original format and appearance of lost originals. Individual texts and collections were vulnerable to selection and omission at every stage of recopying. Because marks of authentication and addresses have usually been lost from copied letters22we therefore know little about signs of authentication or other

visual cues that would have distinguished letters addressed to kings, as opposed to, say, simple memoranda to bailiffs. As we have seen, these transmission patterns interact with gender and con­ tents in ways which further distort the representativeness of the surviving evi­ dence. The most stable places of preservation for letters and other documents were naturally monastic and episcopal armaria. But even if ecclesiastical libraries and archives were the filing boxes of the middle ages, they were far from fireproof. Books and documents from countless religious houses have perished utterly.223

The G arbage D u m p vs. The Library One way to get some insight into ephemeral discarded messages is through comparisons with the contents and find-circumstances of ephemeral letters that were thrown away in other times and places. Evidence for communication recov­ ered from archaeological contexts rather than archives has been able to revolution­ ize scholarly understanding of literacy and society in a number of pre-modern societies in a way that no amount of careful reinterpretation of archivally pre­ served texts could have done. Messages deemed ephemeral by contemporaries might be discarded systematically-buried in jars,24 thrown into rubbish pits, sealed into rooms,-or haphazardly lost, discarded in a harbour or dropped between wooden slats of a floor or a walkway, only to be discovered later by the most extraordinary luck. When found, such messages bring the voices of previously mute subjects back into history. It is significant that most finds of discarded letters have been on wood,25 yet wood messages were not usually continuously preserved in libraries and archives.26 The dichotomy between preserved parchment letters 22 E.g. D.P. K irby , “Bede’s native sources for the Historia Ecclesiastica”, Bulletin o f the John Rylands Library 48 (1965-1966), pp. 341-371. Part o f the library and archive o f the monastery of Lidlum (Frisia) was discarded at the time of its dissolution. Am ateur archaeologists with metal detectors found seals of several abbots. See J.M . B os, Archeologie van Friesland (Utrecht, 1995), p. 180. 24 In the East, Christians and Jew s alike disposed scrupulously of texts containing abbreviations for the nam e o f God by sealing them in jars or burying them. See M .D. G oodman , “Texts, scribes and power in Roman Judaea”, in: Literacy and Power in the Ancient World, ed. A.K. BOWMAN and G. W oo lf (Cambridge, 1994), pp. 99-108, at p. 101; R.L. F ox, “Literacy and Power in Early Christianity”, ibid., pp. 126-148 at p. 130. 25 Papyrus, slate and ostraka (potsherds) however are also known. In general, w ood is available and likely to be preserved in wet northerly latitudes whereas papyrus and ostraka are available in mediterranean climes, w here their chances o f survival are enhanced by the dryness. 26 For an exception, the accounting records o f Halle, where w ax tablets were used for

and others almost seems to point to a two-tier communication system divided between parchment and wood or other readily available substances which required less complicated preparation than animal skin. The poor chances of preservation of wooden objects affect our view of almost every aspect of past cultures, not merely communication. It has been estimated that ninety percent of Medieval household objects were made of wood, yet durable substances such as metal, glass and stone are overwhelmingly represented in mu­ seum exhibitions.27 One writer commented :“if wood has not survived on the site, the picture of life presented to the archaeologist is distorted out of all recogni­ tion”.28 Another has signalled the paramount importance of wood as a raw mate­ rial in prehistoric and early historic times for a huge range of uses: dwellings, household objects, vessels, tools, artwork, even weapons and jewelry and stressed the importance of extrapolating from Paralleliiberflieferung to make good the gaps in the archaeological and historical record.29 The survival patterns for wax-writing tablets might serve as an emblem for the distortions incurred by making assumptions from lost evidence.30 It is clear that wax tablets were continuously in use from Antiquity, throughout the Middle Ages, and even in some places, until the nineteenth century; the American chil­ dren’s toy called a “magic slate” illustrates the persistence of wax as a cheap reusable writing surface even in our times. Yet although the styli for writing on wax tablets have been found in large numbers, there are far fewer extant waxtablets dateable between, say, 600 and 1200 AD than for the centuries before or after. An image of decline parallel to the “Dark Ages” and relieved by the twelfthcentury renaissance? Hardly. Despite the gap in the material evidence, it is clear accounting until the early nineteenth century, see W. W attenbach , Das Schriftwesen im Mittelalter, 3rd edn. (Leipzig, 1896; reprint Graz, 1958), pp. 51-89.

that wax tablets were commonplace and continuously in use for drafts, accounts and ephemeral messages. But the wax tablets of the early medieval world have rarely been preserved. 1 know of no spectacular examples of early medieval letters found in the ground.31 However, finds from ancient times and the central middle ages can show how transforming such discoveries can be, and perhaps cast some light on the nature of the lost letters of the early medieval world.

Vindolanda (ca. 100 A D ) The wooden writing tablets recovered at the excavation of the Roman fort at Vindolanda (near modem Corbridge) illustrate the way a discovery of a previously unknown and highly perishable category of evidence can revolutionize received views of literacy and communication in an apparently well-documented and thor­ oughly studied past society. Before the tablets came to light, 170 original latin letters were known from before 300 A.D.;32 after the publication of the writing tablets, 144 whole letters had been added to this corpus plus 156 fragmentary texts.33 Evidence for ancient Latin letters in their original format had thereby al­ most tripled and wood had outstripped papyrus and ostraka (potsherds) as the best attested medium. The total number of tablets and fragments recovered is now close to 2000.34 Before the discovery, the notion that officers and low-ranking members of Batavian and Tungrian cohorts stationed in Northern Britain might be able to engage is long-distance correspondence would have been dismissed as unlikely.35Now it is documented. Moreover, because incoming letters from distant places were recovered alongside sender’s copies, the tablet letters show empire­ wide conventions prevailing for the epistolary register preserved on the tablets. The tablets themselves are very thin slivers of wood, comparable in size to our postcards: ca. 6-8 inches long and 2.5-3 inches wide. They are exceedingly thin (0.04-0.08, or thinner) and were suitable for writing on with regular ink and a metal nibbed pen. Prior to the discovery, a more substantial sort of wooden tablet 11 O n a single letter on slate, see below, p. 92. The Springmount bog tablets from Ireland contain psalm-verses, not a letter. 12 P.

was known (wax- or stylus tablets, made of thicker pieces of wood), but tablets of the type discovered at Vindolanda were scarcely documented in literary texts. Two references established that such wood-sliver tablets were everyday objects.30 The Vindolanda finds were deliberately discarded, perhaps in connection with rebuild­ ing of the fort, or troop transfers; the find location cannot be equated with the fort’s official record office.37 The wood slivers owe their preservation to moist anaerobic soil conditions (which also ensured that a good deal of footwear and even a sock have survived).38Tablets were apparently deliberately discarded along with other refuse in a spot near the commanding officer’s residence. There are indications that the refuse was set alight and it has been surmised that dumping occurred in connection with phases of rebuilding and departure and reoccupation of the fort. Since the finds at Vindolanda alerted excavators to the appearance and impor­ tance of wooden stilus tablets, additional examples have been identified at other sites in Britain. It is now beyond doubt that such tablets were widely available and in everyday use. Outside the Northern European tree-growing area, other materials have been found which attest similar personal and bureaucratic literacy in the Roman army: papyri from Dura-Europus (apparently discarded in the mid-third century as a consequence of Syrian takeover) and ostraka from Bu Njem in Libya.39 The Vindolanda texts include records of army bureaucracy, but also personal letters, a list of tableware, even a birthday invitation. The non-epistolary texts illuminate the fundamental importance of literacy to the effective functioning of the Roman army on a remote provincial frontier. The letters demonstrate that literacy came with the army and did not depend on the literacy of the environs; indeed it was crucial to Romanization.The officers of Batavian origin, perhaps only recently enfranchised,40 can be shown to be latinate and literate. Auden’s evocation of “Fall of Rome” could apply to Ultima Thule as well as the Empire’s capital.367*940

In the Roman army camps from Syria to remote northern Britain, practical tasks and personal relationships alike entailed extensive reliance on pragmatic literacy. For this the use of locally available perishable material was apparently standard practice. The documents generated and letters received were eventually deliberately discarded. Their preservation and eventual discovery depends on climatic and environmental factors and luck.

B ergen R ú n a kefli (s. X lF —s.xr/* ) Bergen harbour on the west coast of Norway is one of the rainiest cities in the world and therefore a favourable site for the preservation of organic material. Excavations near the old harbour site (Bryggen) were possible after a fire in 1955. Within a few days in 1957, the discovery of several “rune-sticks” almost doubled the tally of runic inscriptions from the area; since then over 650 further runic inscriptions have been discovered, including letters, tally sticks, practice alpha­ bets, indications of ownership, charms, and brief notes of what has been character­ ized as sheer pornography and obscenity.42 Although runic inscriptions have been 41 W .H.

found on a variety of materials including wood, stone, horn, bone, leather and pottery, small specially-cut wooden sticks seem to have been a standard format for runic notes and messages (hence the term rune-stick). It seems that the Bryggen rune sticks were variously accidentally lost or deliberately discarded at the harbour site after they were no longer relevant.43 Six known datable medieval fires in Ber­ gen left deposits which facilitate both relative and absolute dating of the finds. It is sobering to realize how nearly this extraordinary corpus of material es­ caped notice. An eye-witness commented: “there were... more or less recognizable objects in abundance and we did not feel obliged to investigate the masses of wood-chips particularly closely...”.44 Discounting those inscriptions which are indecipherable for various reasons (ca. 1/3), the material includes Old Norse texts (as one would expect), but also Latin and even a bit of Greek transliterated into runes.45The texts reflect the activities of a busy commercial centre. Personal notes occur alongside business notes and even alphabets, charms and prayers and Latin poetry transliterated into runes. It has been doubted whether runic literacy was widespread, but the brevity, secrecy and informality of some of the messages can be taken to suggest that people were able to write for themselves. Indeed, it is hard to imagine that the various obscene and informal tavern-messages required the mediation of professional readers and writers. The entire corpus has not yet been printed and still fewer runic messages have been translated; transcriptions and translation remain unclear in many cases. A few sample messages can give an impression of the tenor of runic corre­ spondence: Eindriöi, you m ust let me have these: two m easures and three casks, and otherwise (if you cannot?) sixteen measures. And Eindriöi, you shall take that com which Bergthorr owes me. No less than sixteen m easures m ust you take; if not then take nothing.

At least one letter shows some traces of awareness of Latin epistolary formu­ lae,50 but there is insufficient internal and external evidence to allow any firm conclusions about whether rune carving was taught in a school, in the family, or in informal social settings and where and how writers gained the gained the knowl­ edge necessary to draft their rudimentary memoranda and missives.51 Practice alphabets show only that even pen-knife and wood literacy required basic instruc­ tion, practice and coordination. The Bryggen runesticks allow one to imagine the physical format of the small number of allusions to written messages in the sagas,52 but on the basis of the saga-evidence alone it might have seemed optimistic to predict the existence of the Bergen runesticks.53 (In this connection it is instructive to remember how meagre the classical Latin literary evidence for the existence of non-wax wooden tablets such as those found at Vindolanda was: a reminder that the most common ephem­ eral everyday objects and technologies may escape notice in written sources). The origins and original purpose of the runic alphabet are hotly debated.54 But most specialists agree that the alphabet or “futhark” arose in the context of contacts with Romania, and that letter forms were designed to be cut onto wood. Hence the vertical strokes are perpendicular to the grain, thus clearly visible, and there are no horizontal-cross strokes which would disappear into the pattern of the wood-grain. Subsequent adaptations of the runic alphabet remain true to these principles. Yet the poor preservation of wood and organic materials in most archaeological con­

texts has meant that the earliest extant runic monuments are on more durable substances rather than on wood. It is a striking fact that the Bergen finds outnum­ ber the entire previously known corpus of runic inscriptions from medieval Nor­ way. Rune-sticks have subsequently been found at other urban sites including Trondheim, Oslo and T 0 nsberg, though in far smaller quantities.55 It is not clear whether the astonishing amount of evidence for literacy and written communica­ tion recovered at Bergen reflects the exceptional circumstances of a port and mar­ ket city, the favourable wet anaerobic soil conditions or the special opportunity afforded by the fire of 1955 to dig in an urban area of exceptional continuity of use and occupation. As a whole however the rune sticks and runic graffiti seem to point to widespread use of written communication across the social hierarchy. The quantity of finds seems to taper off at the end of the fourteenth century, but the significance of this decline is unclear. Runes may have begun to fall into disuse, another more perishable writing support may have replaced wood or else the grad­ ual replacement of the Norwegian population of Bryggen with non-rune-using Germans may have played a role.56

R unes in E ngland Runes were apparently known throughout the Germanic world from perhaps the first centuries A.D. or even earlier. While the abundance of evidence from Bryggen in the central Middle Ages seems to reflect the special role vernacular runic literacy in a busy urban and commercial environment,57 it is tantalizing to consider whether rune-sticks might have been known and used earlier in other Germanic societies. As we have seen, wherever it originated, it is clear that the runic alphabet was designed for carving on wood; indeed, the common Germanic vocabulary of literacy points either to the actual use of wood as a writing support or to familiarity with Roman writing on wood.58 It has been assumed that this vocabulary developed through contact with Romania and Christianity, and specifi55 Seim , “A review o f the runic material”, pp. 10-11.

cally, through observation of the use of wooden writing tablets, whether wax tab­ lets or thin wooden leaves. Tantalizing evidence from two Old English poems seems to point to some knowledge of the use of wood and runes as a medium for communication. Old English Riddle 60 in the Exeter book has been interpreted as describing a reed-pen, a gospel book, a beech tree (OE boc means book as well as beech-tree), but rune stick is also a plausible answer, indeed, one might argue, the only plausible answer, since the description of writing with the point of a knife cannot refer either to the use of ink or to the use of a stylus on a wax tablet.59 The narrator of the riddle describes how he used to stand alone by the seashore, “little I imagined that early or late I should ever speak, mouthless, across the meadbench, and communicate words. It is something of wonder, perplexing to the mind of him who knows nothing of such, how the point of a knife and the right hand, a man's ingenuity and point together, deliberately pricked me so that I should confi­ dently declare a message in the presence of us two alone, so that no more people might gossip our converse farther afield”.60 Riddle 60 is immediately followed in the unique manuscript which preserves it by an even more enigmatic text known as “the Husband’s Message”, a poem narrated by the support of the message. The message alludes to an ancient pact, a feud, an expelled lord, and a summons to a spouse to return across the sea to a lord. "Now in privacy I will tell you... Now I have come here in a ship and now you shall know how you may think in your mind of my lord’s heartfelt love... See, he that inscribed this wood instructed me to beseech you that you, the jewel-span­ gled, yourself recall into mind the spoken vows which you two often voiced in earlier days...Now he has bidden me gladly inform you that you should ply the ocean...*".61 In contrast to the preceding riddle, where clues that a written message is involved are obvious, one might assume that the speaker here is a messenger conveying oral summons and greetings. But the last few lines of the poem include runes and depend on the appearance of the runes and the reader’s knowledge of their names: "I conjoin S (sun) together with R (road) (sun-road, heaven) and EA (earth) and W (joy) and M (man) to declare on oath that he would fulfil by his living self, the pledge and the covenant of friendship which in former days you two often voiced*’.62 See G.P.

No rune-sticks have yet been recovered from an Old English site. However, previously unknown runes have been remarked on a bone writing tablet, both on the rim and in the recessed area where the wax would have been; preliminary investigations suggest the runes in the wax area appear because they were inadver­ tently scratched through the wax, and were perhaps pen trials.63 Much Old English evidence for knowledge of runes comes from manuscripts made on the continent in Anglo-Saxon mission circles. It has sometimes been assumed that the manu­ script evidence attests to antiquarian interest, especially when runic alphabets occur alongside other alphabets.64 Yet the runic inscriptions on objects such as the monumental eighth-century Ruthwell cross or the small Franks casket suggest that runes were familiar, not esoteric: those who commissioned or designed the objects expected them to be comprehensible to some audience. It is interesting to note that the Ruthwell cross inscription is in the first person (like the Old English riddles, but also like medieval letters); it narrates the story of Christ’s crucifixion from the point of view of the cross. Was the stone cross a kind of monumental version of a wooden rune-stick bearing a message, like the message of salvation in the poem “The Husband’s message”? A tantalizing clue that runes may have been associ­ ated particularly with correspondence comes from the Boniface letter collection, where the dorse of some letters contain monograms and designs which include runes and Greek letters.65 The combined evidence of the vocabulary of writing, two Old English poems and the use of runes in the Boniface correspondence can be interpreted to suggest that in the British Isles runesticks could have been famil­ iar as a medium for written communication, rather than merely as an epigraphic writing system.66 This hypothesis is not so much an argument from silence as an 63 R.I.

This information needs to be correlated with selection by sender and receiver since the Boniface collections are thought to derive from Boniface’s own drafts. Ed.

extrapolation from hints. And yet, because the Anglo-Saxons assimilated Chris­ tianity, Latin literacy, and scriptorial practices (including the use of parchment) far sooner than the residents of medieval Scandinavia, one might be sceptical about the persistence in the British Isles of runic literacy and the use of rune-stick letters among Anglo-Saxons (rather than, say, among Scandinavians in the Danelaw). One thing is certain: if archaeologists ever do manage to dig up some rune-sticks in England, the messages will surely be qualitatively very different from the known medieval Latin letters from the British Isles. The circumstances of a late medieval harbour town such as Bergen naturally encouraged the use of writing and perhaps even made knowledge of runic literacy necessary for business. Yet the technology used (runic alphabet and wood-carving) had been available in Northern Europe for centuries. Moreover, the knowledge of these writing practices had been transmitted even when the demands of harbour business had not made runic liter­ acy a practical necessity. One might well wonder if rune-sticks had also been also in use in the busy Scandinavian trade centre of medieval Jorvik, or perhaps even earlier, in Northumbrian York.

Novgorod At Novgorod, as at Vindolanda and Bergen, opinions about the cultural level and literacy of a population hitherto considered scarcely literate were revolution­ ized at a stroke with the discovery of a substantial corpus of new evidence. In this case, it was hundreds of letters incised on birch bark in majuscule non-cursive cyrillic letters which transformed scholarly views of medieval Novgorod.67 As at Inscriptions, pp. 119-137. 67 For an oven iew of medieval Novgorod, see A.

Vindolanda and Bergen, too, exceptionally wet conditions were favourable for the preservation of organic matter. Thus not only the birch-bark letters, but also shoes, socks, mittens, rope, wool, toys, furniture, and layer upon layer of the city's corduroy sidewalks, relaid through the centuries, have been preserved. The birchbark texts (beresty) were incised onto pieces of boiled birch bark,68 a cheap, lo­ cally available substance that was also used for all sorts of household objects. (Eventually ink writing instruments began to take their place alongside the stylus: unfortunately the ink usually disappeared, whereas incised letters, whether on rune sticks or birch bark, can remain visible, if not easily legible, for centuries). The letters are terse, brief and direct. It is clear that they were deliberately discarded. Some were intentionally damaged or had the names cut off to cancel their validity. As at Bergen, the importance of the discovery was recognized immediately. “The whole basis of the subject changed... in 1951 when the first birch-bark docu­ ments were discovered. Written documents were... calculated to impress the au­ thorities who controlled the finances of the excavation, and so the discovery made it possible to enlarge the scale of the work. Ostensibly the object of the excavation in the early years was to find more birch-bark documents...” .69 Since then, hun­ dreds of letters written on birch bark (beresta, beresty, pi. or berestjanaja gramota, berestjanye gramoty, pi. ) have to come to light. Seven hundred and ten documents have published from Novgorod and a small number from other sites including Moscow, Smolensk and Staraja Russa have also been edited; about two hundred texts await publication. Excavations in Novgorod are still under way and new birch-barks continue to come to light.70 The majority of the texts are in Old Russian in a local Novgorod dialect, rather than Old Church Slavonic, although among the birch-barks from various

sites, there are isolated examples of Latin,71 German, Greek,72 Finnish,73 and even a runic alphabet,74reflecting trade-contacts and the activities of foreign merchants stationed in Novgorod. Thus with the discoveries, the entire corpus of Old Russian exploded in size. The majority of the letters were written by lay-people, many, by women; most concern business transactions and administration of distant estates-money and land75-but disputes, a marriage proposal and even a child’s drawings are represented in the corpus. Letters written by clerics are linguistically distinct and usually immediately recognizable from the influence or use of Old Church Slavonic; letters by clerics are also characterized by less punctuation. It seems clear that the laity, including women, could read and write for themselves. Although palaeographical analysis can sometimes show that one writer inscribed letters for others, as with the Bergen rune-sticks, the messages are often so brief and informal that it would be hard to imagine that they would have been written or sent if professional scribes or readers were necessary.76 Despite their brevity and directness (the longest letter (N531) is 166 words)77 the formulation of the letters seems to point to some very limited regular form of instruction in both writing and epistolar conventions for lay people.78 Where and how this training occurred is 11 No. 488, a Latin booklet found near the “Gothic house”, the place of Hanse and Scandinavian traders.

unknown, but the fact that the local Novgorod dialect was used rather than Old Church Slavonic points to educational arrangements separate from clerical educa­ tion, even if administered by clerics.79 The find circumstances of the Novgorod beresty would make them the envy of scholars in many fields if they were only better known. In contrast to the evi­ dence at Bergen and Vindolanda, the Novgorod letters can be stratigraphically dated quite precisely by their position between the layers of the corduroy side­ walks (which were replaced at regular intervals) and have provided an excellent sequence for dendrochronological dating.80 The letters were found on strata rang­ ing in date from the eleventh to the fifteenth century and can be fairly precisely dated by dendrochronological dates for the side-walk layers.81 Besides this (rela­ tive) chronological precision, many of the letters seem to have been relatively undisturbed and to have remained where they were discarded, sometimes on the property of the persons concerned. The corpus can also offer exceptional insights into social networks. There are a number of blocks of letters sent by the same person; letters by individuals referred to in other letters have been found, as have letters by or concerned with individuals known from other sources.8283A sample of the texts of a few beresty illustrates the their terse and direct style and mundane concerns: Mikhail makes obeisance to his lord Timothy. The ground is prepared and we m ust sow. Come, sir, for everyone is ready but we cannot have rye without your command.81 Order from Grigory to Dom na and Repekh.

O ther F ind s and O ther M edia Moving farther afield from the wet, Northern European tree-growing latitudes, other evidence for letters preserved by accident or good luck reinforces the impres­ sion that the recopied medieval Latin letter collections preserved on parchment are indeed the tip of an iceberg, and a highly atypical sample of pre-modern written communication. For example, texts scratched into slate have been found from early medieval Spain, from early and high medieval Ireland and from thirteenth century Laon.88 Where it is readily available, slate has the advantage of requiring almost no preparation and being easy to scratch. The Spanish material includes a letter, but also a charm and some trade documents, precisely the quotidian con­ cerns of lay people that are poorly represented in the parchment letter-collections of the period.89 It is particularly interesting that the Spanish slates are from an area in Northern Spain roughly between Avila and Salamanca, a rural area, indicating that towns and commerce, though strongly correlated with medieval lay-literacy, are not a prerequisite for it. These Spanish slates also seem to point to some contimeant is probably “into Luga before Saint Il’ja ’s day”. 85 T hompson , Novgorod the Great, p. 62,1422-1446 a d . 86 T hompson , Novgorod the Great, p. 63,1268-1299 a d . 87 Franklin , “Literacy and docum entation”, p. 7. 88 BiSCUOFF, Líïf//i Palaeography, p. 15-16. 89 For a recent exhaustive edition of the Visigothic slates, see: I.

nuity in lay education through the Visigothic period, even in a rural area. Like the Vindolanda tablets, they are written across the long side of the stones, perhaps a clue to the survival of an Empire-wide convention. Whereas the diverse find-sites of the slates seem to show that they were haphazardly discarded, some private documents written on wood from fifth-century Vandal Africa survive because they were stowed in a pottery jar in a wall.90 Still earlier, at Masada, it seems that Ro­ man soldiers stuffed their own Latin papyri, Greek papyri and Hebrew scolls into a room inside one of the casements of the wall. This took place after the fall of Masada and perhaps in connection with sorting booty; the deposit is neither a rubbish pile nor an official archive.91 The discovery yielded insights into the role of literacy in the administration of the Roman army similar to those gained at Vindolanda; it also illuminated the coexistence of literacy in several languages and the use of a range of media. Local Jews and soldiers in the Roman army used primarily papyrus and ostraka as writing materials, with Jewish writers using primarily Greek on papyrus and mainly Hebrew and Aramaic on ostraka and Romans, the Latin language and script on all materials.92 Prior to this discovery however, parchment had seemed to be the most important writing surface (though for literary rather than pragmatic or administrative texts) in first-century Pales­ tine.93Perhaps the most spectacular cache of documents of all, however, is the one preserved in the Cairo Genizah. Jews did not throw away any sacred writings, but buried them or deposited them in Genizas. In Cairo, there was a Geniza attached to a synagogue where non-religious texts of all kinds came to be preserved for reasons unknown; this extraordinary material includes including over a thousand secular business letters.94 The foregoing examples of letters discarded (or deposited) and preserved by good luck in their original form show how tenaciously past societies clung to the skill of writing, even in times and places where the materials available and the provisions for education are hardly favourable. The examples from Novgorod and Bergen seem to indicate that in certain cultures, a rudimentary knowledge of writ­ 90 C.

ing could be acquired without an ecclesiastically sponsored educational system, while an anecdote about King Alfred points to some family context for the acquisi­ tion of vernacular literacy in ninth-century Wessex.95 Are we justified in assuming that some appreciable quantity of simple correspondence occurred among lay people and clergy in the early medieval West? The foregoing examples cannot demonstrate that was the case, but another look at two lacunae in the evidence for communication in Latin in Carolingian Europe may suggest, once again, that the burden of proof is on the oralists, on those who deny that writing was used for some everyday affairs, in a world already familiar with literacy. Two cases where the argument from analogy can suggest a more positive interpretation of extant evidence are letters concerning estate-management and love letters.

E state M anagem ent Many Carolingian abbots were in charge of extensive and far-flung estates.96 Administration and record keeping for such properties can be studied in various documents, including the polyptichs.97 But alongside such records, it is clear that a large of amount of long-distance communication as well as record-keeping would have been necessary. Letters concerning these activities however are rare, although they must once have been exceedingly numerous.98 Scattered examples do survive however.

ing pigs," obtaining beeswax when the production in one region was in­ adequate,99100 restoring buildings,101 planting sorrel and making tiles or slabs;102 Frothar wrote to other abbots to obtain wine and pigments for wall-painting.103 Such letters survive in small numbers, but a busy abbot must have despatched dozens of them in a year. In the case of Einhard, it is particularly striking to notice the extremely bald and unadorned style of his business notes, and their extreme brevity. In these two respects, they contrast completely with his literary achieve­ ment in his biography of Charlemagne, his theological letters, or the letters he wrote after the death of his wife. Einhard’s business letters survive apparently because a member of his monastic community copied Einhard’s own drafts or correspondence book. But what of other letters of this sort, and what of the fate of receiver’s copies? One might surmise that it was not just the mundane contents of such messages that ensured their omission by the copyists of most letter collec­ tions, but the circumstances of their dictation and preservation. Wax tablets have been associated with accounts and record keeping at many times in their history.104 Is it unreasonable to imagine that the extremely simple style and consistently short length of estate memoranda by Einhard and others might be associated with origi­ nal transmission on wax tablets?105 The poor survival of such messages may re­ flect not only the disinterest of subsequent copyists, but also other factors: the loss of messages due to reuse of the wax-tablet, and the possibility that estate memo­ randa might be dictated, received, and kept (if preserved) in an office or storage room separate from the monastic scriptorium or library.

The R arity o f E arly M ed ieva l L o v e L etters Whereas loss resulting from wax-tablet transmission is only a hypothesis for estate memoranda, in the case of love-letters, it is established that wax tablets were used for love-letters or poems in both classical antiquity and thirteenth cen­ 99 Ed.

Compared to the left page, the right page is full of figures and life. The figures do not pay attention to the monk, just as Mary does not turn to the bishop of Hil­ desheim. The ruler is enthroned in a mandorla, his throne supported by Terra, a personification of the earth. The composition of the ruler, high up in the air, reminds us of images of the Ascension, and it was exactly on Ascension Day 996 that Otto m was crowned emperor in Rome.7071 In his right hand Otto is holding the imperial globe, his left hand is opened in expectation, perhaps to receive the book. On his left and right are two crowned dignitaries, probably dukes, paying tribute to their ruler.72 Under this scene, we find on the left two armour-bearers, on the right two bishops. As the inscription tells us, the four apocalyptic creatures, symbols of the evangelists, “invest” the ruler’s heart with a scroll. It is their Holy Writ which, in the tangible form of the Liuthar Gospels, has become a symbol of power on a par with the crown, the globe and the mantle.73 ’’Augustus Otto” receives the crown from the hand of God, descending from a blue cross-nimbus from heaven; his rule is of Divine power and strength. Otto is depicted elevated over the earth and over the other rulers. He is represented motionless and frontal, which is even more clear when we see the movement and gestures of the figures surrounding the emperor. Otto is tacitly compared with Christ not only through the position of his arms, reminding us of Christ on the cross, but also through the use of the Maiestas-formula with mandorla and the four animals, as it had been known since Carolingian times. Otto, however, is not placed on the same footing as Christ. The emperor in his mandorla is not the central point from which the animals fan out. The animals seem to radiate from the hand of God.74 It is this hand that is crowning Otto, 70 Joachim PROCHNO, Das Schreiber- und Dedikationsbild in der deutschen Buchmalerei, i: Bis zum Ende des 11.

giving imperial authority its Divine splendour in the iconographical tradition that we have been able to follow since Constantine and through the Metz Sacramen­ tary. A miniature showing a coronation that at first sight seems more “realistic”, because it is not according to the “frontal and flanked” model we have encountered so far, can also be traced to the environment of Otto ill. This time, however, we have to go to Italy, which may account both for the picture’s provincial style and for the differences in representing the coronation. Folio 2 of the Sacramentary made for bishop Warmund of Ivrea (ca. 969-1011) shows the coronation of a king (Plate 6).75 It is, according to Robert Deshman, the earliest known representation of the actual liturgical ceremony. The miniature prefaces the text for a royal conse­ cration, the earliest and purest preserved text of the Early German coronationordo. This ordo was a basic source for the Mainz ordo used for the royal conse­ cration of Otto DI. The appearance of a rare German ordo in this provincial Italian Sacramentary points towards Otto III, who is probably the ruler depicted, and “the prominent placement of this particular text and its miniature at the very beginning of the manuscript pays a discreet compliment to the emperor”.76 A second corona­ tion image confirms the connection with Otto in. It is a miniature illustrating the Missa pro regibus, representing the Virgin Mary investing Otto ill with crown and sceptre, again in a composition different from the ones we have encountered so far. The titulus in the border states that the emperor Otto is crowned on behalf of the “well defended” bishop Warmund.77 Between 999 and 1001 Otto ill took Warmund’s part in a bitter dispute with Arduin the Margrave of Ivrea. The royal mass and its coronation picture express the bishop’s gratitude (the Afosa pro regibus mentions ’’imperatori nostro Ottoni”). Undoubtedly, the Sacramentary was made in Warmund’s cathedral scriptorium during these years.78 The second miniature renders the moment of crowning rather than any other event in the rite. However, Robert Deshman has drawn attention to another event in the accession ceremony alluded to in Warmund’s co-ro-nation scene, the anoint­ ment of the ruler. A cleric behind the king displays two small containers of the holy oil used to anoint the ruler. This is not the place to go into the extensive ide­ 75 MS Ivrea, Biblioteca Capitolare, lxxxvi .

ology concerning the salving of the ruler. Since Pippin’s anointment in 751, the Carolingian and Ottonian rulers were salved, in imitation of the kings of the Old Testament. Anointment was also part of the ceremony of baptism. From Carolin­ gian times onwards, Clovis’s baptism was interpreted as a royal anointment. It is interesting that in Warmund’s Sacramentary we find another miniature showing the baptism of Constantine the Great, in which the emperor is wearing a crown. This prominent crown implies that the unction also has connotations of imperial sacring. We have seen how medieval rulers were portrayed in the tradition of Con­ stantine’s coronation image, e.g. in the Liuthar Gospels. Here the exact opposite is found. Constantine’s accession is represented as an anointment, following the medieval tradition of royal and imperial unction. That it is the emperor Constan­ tine who receives this baptismal coronation is not accidental. Constantine, the first Christian emperor, served as an example to medieval rulers. The precedent of Constantine would have been especially significant to both Otto and Warmund. Otto appointed his friend and teacher Gerbert to the papacy in 999. Gerbert took on the name Sylvester II, referring to the first Sylvester, who had baptized Con­ stantine. The emperor and the pope together sought to create a “Renovatio Imperii Romanorum”.79 One of Otto’s first acts after making Gerbert pope was to preside jointly with him over an Easter synod in Rome condemning Warmund’s enemy Arduin.80 Emphasis on ritual and ideology seems to have augmented in the art of Henry n. His books show an even greater stress on majesty, rule and hierarchy compared to those made for Otto m.81Henry’s art expresses the ideology of Divine and royal rule especially through gesture and ritual. Indeed, Henry is the ruler most often shown being crowned. Henry Mayr-Harting has explained this emphasis by point­ ing at the struggle for succession following Otto ill’s death. Henry was the first Saxon ruler who lacked both the advantages of kingly unction and that of designa­ tion by his predecessor-the two elements of divine and ancestral appointment so prominent in art and literature concerning accessions since late Antiquity. Thietmar of Merseburg, a great supporter of Henry’s, in his description of Henry’s election stresses both Henry’s descent and his ties with God, writing: “With one voice the multitude cried out that Henry was to rule with the help of Christ and by right of inheritance”.82 Mayr-Harting finds that written texts highlight the ritualist

aspects of Henry’s campaign for the crown. Both in texts and in images ritual was used to pursue Henry’s claim to the throne and to legitimize his authority. “ [Hen­ ry] needed every ounce of sacrality that he could muster in order to achieve and then maintain his election’.83 The coronation is one of these rituals, and a very important one, as through it could be expressed the ideology serving to legitimize Henry’s much contested succession. It showed that Henry was appointed by God. Henry had received a religious education; he had strong ecclesiastical leanings and knowledge of Church matters.84 But it was not just his religious inclination that made Henry to have himself depicted and described as chosen by God. The politi­ cal motif of reinforcing his position was at least as important. Thietmar is laconic about the coronations of other rulers. He does, however, describe the coronation of Henry n at some length, and stresses the ruler’s appointment by God by calling him ”a Deo coronato regi Heinrico”.85 In pictorial images the royal ideology was expressed through a gesture we have encountered repeatedly: the coronation by the hand of God. The coronation image in Henry’s own Sacramentary is particularly close in composition to the Metz Sacramentary. The Sacramentary of Henry II (Plate 9)86 was made at Regensburg, a city that occupied an important position as a commercial centre between the West and the Byzantine Empire.87 Henry had received his education here. He probably gave the book to his favourite foundation of Bamberg,88 to which he gave the status of diocese in the year 1007. That very year he donated many treasures and works of art to the new diocese. On 6 May 1012, Henry’s fortieth birthday, the new cathedral was consecrated and once again provided with many gifts. At either one of these two ceremonies the manuscript may have been given to the Bamberg cathedral.89 Henry is given the title rex in the verses accom­ panying the dedication miniature. This means the book must have been manufac­ tured before his imperial coronation in the year 1014. Just as the Metz Sacra­ mentary, Henry’s Sacramentary need not have been made for any specific corona­ tion, as Swarzenski has pointed out. It is the theocratic ideal of government that has been represented.90

ing and use of keeping a record of gifts of property or of rights.51 The twelfth century saw a flourishing of fiscal and juridical exemptions bestowed on landed property. The ecclesiastical practice of writing down an immunitas stimulated the use of charters.52The Church also contributed to the introduction of documents in public law by keeping records of its own juridical actions and by seeking similar documents from the sovereigns. Until the twelfth century, public law had had virtually no use for writing. When the legal use of the written word took off, char­ ters for the Church (bishoprics and monasteries) were at first drafted by the clerics themselves, by the beneficiaries. Royal chanceries were to be developed only later on. The twelfth century also saw ecclesiastical institutions issuing charters in their own name. However, the use of these documents was not without juridical obsta­ cles. In public law, ecclesiastical charters were considered private documents, valid only in canon law.53 In Poland, this situation lasted even until the end of the Middle Ages. From the twelfth century onwards, bishops started to use seals to corroborate their documents. In Bohemia, the oldest preserved seal is that of Henry Zdik, bishop of Olomouc; it dates from around 1141.54 In Poland, a docu­ ment of 1153 has been sealed with the sigillum of Jan, archbishop of Gniezno.55 The oldest Hungarian ecclesiastical documents date from the 1180s.56

The State Compared with the unequivocal development of ecclesiastical “pragmatic literacy”, the place of the written word in state matters was much more limited. Oral modes of communication remained most important before the tribunals. It 51 K r e j C i k o v a ,

was to take a long time before documents were allowed to be used in public law. Only in the twelfth century the document was admitted on the same footing as oral testimony. The gradual growth in the role of documents was inspired by social, political and economical developments. In all three countries of Central Europe, the personal justice of the ruler was gradually abolished, and forms of local government developed which were very often controlled by the nobility of the region.57 In Poland, divided into a series of small principalities from 1138 on­ wards, these processes were relatively strong. At the same time, a hierarchy of court officials and a chancery were brought into being. In all three countries, the capella regia, the circle of court chaplains, was the cradle of the chancery. The beginnings of the Hungarian royal chancery are already clearly percepti­ ble during the reign of St. Stephen, who after his coronation adopted the model of the imperial bureaucracy.58 The chancery was officially organized by Béla III (1181-1190), who ordered that written proof be presented before the royal tribu­ nal.59 The position of chancellor was assumed by the archbishop of Esztergom. Around 1210 the chancery of the Hungarian queen appeared, with the bishop of Veszprem at its head.60 In Bohemia, the twelfth century saw the setting up of the ducal, then royal chancery as the central organ of government. The post of chan­ cellor pertained to the dignity of the provost of Vysehrad (definitively from 1225 onwards).61 The origins of the Polish royal chancery are unclear. Because hardly a single document promulgated by a ruler from before the second half of the elev­ enth century exists,62 the opinion has gained ground that there existed no central chancery before the feudal dismemberment of the country of 1138. According to this view, one has to wait for the social and economical changes of the thirteenth century for the emergence of small chanceries fostered by the local princes.

theless, the chronicle of Gallus Anonymus, written at the beginning of the twelfth century, mentions a chancellor Micha! (Michael), a member of the most powerful Polish family of the time.63 Debate on the beginnings of the Polish chancery is bound to continue... ,64 The charters issued in the name of rulers are addressed primarily to ecclesias­ tical institutions. One of the oldest princely charters which has been preserved was issued for the Bohemian collegiate church of Litomërice; it is dated 1057.65 The oldest Hungarian royal documents date from the middle of the twelfth century.66 Charters for laymen appear only in the thirteenth century, and it seems more than possible that oral procedures were long deemed sufficient for royal donations to laymen.67 The first stage of the introduction of writing already saw some efforts at draw­ ing up law codes. The legislative activities of the first Hungarian kings are aston­ ishing. The statutes of Saint Stephen (1000-1030), Saint Ladislaus (1077-1095) and king Coloman (1095-1116) “constitute the foundation of the new monarchic and Christian order”.68 The decrees of the Czech prince Bretislav I, meant to rein­ force secular and ecclesiastical power, were promulgated in 1039 during a war against Poland.6970They are probably the oldest legislative texts of the Slavic world. The first Czech collection of customary law dates from 1189.™ Bohemia was precocious within the Slavic world, for in Poland written law became possible only in the middle of the fourteenth century.71*

The royal and princely courts of Central Europe were the only lay milieux familiar with writing. Manuscripts were always present in the dowries brought by foreign princesses to the ruling families.72 The Premyslids, Piasts and Arpads gave dozens of liturgical books to newly-founded churches. As in the West, gifts of this type were an instrument of royal propaganda, proof of largesse as well as proof of devotion. The presence of deluxe liturgical manuscripts in the royal treasury was a materialisation of the ties between the monarch and God, and a symbol of the sacral character of his power.71

Literary Production Both the needs of the Churches and of the courts stimulated the development of literary forms in Central Europe. They controlled both the forms and the genres practised. It is no coincidence that the first literary works were hagiographical by nature. The young Churches in all three countries needed texts to show the glory of its first saints in order to inspire devotion. In Bohemia and Hungary all saints of the “first generation"’ belonged to the ruling dynasties.7374 The wife of the first Christian Czech prince, Ludmila ( f around 921) and especially her grandson Venceslaus (Vaclav) ( t between 927 and 935) were the heroes of the first Bohemian hagiographical works.75 In Hungary, hagiography treated three saints of the dy­ nasty of the Arpads: Saints Stephen (f 1038), Emeric (f 1031) and Ladislaus (f 1095).76 In Poland, no member of the ruling dynasty was venerated, and hagiogra 73 Richeza, the wife of the Polish king M ieszko it (1025-1032) c.g., w ho came from the region of Cologne, brought a copy with the Annales o f Reichenau, and from Cologne the Psalter of Egbert.

phy concentrated on saints from ecclesiastical environments: St. Adalbert and the five hermits martyred in 1003.77 We also have prayers and religious chants from the first stage of the introduc­ tion of writing. These genres seem rather more “fragile”, as by nature they func­ tioned according to the rules of orality. All the more interesting, therefore, is the eleventh-century collection of prayers contained in the Codex Gertrudianus. Its author probably was princess Gertrud, of the Piast dynasty.78 From Bohemia come the hymns Hospodine pomiluj ny (datable to the tenth century) and Svaty Václave (twelfth century).79 The first historiographical notices and works were doubtlessly inspired by lay environments. An aristocratic lay public of kings and powerful lords demanded stories about kings courageous in battle and wise in peacetime. Narratives of this kind are found in the work of an anonymous chronicler, generally known as Gallus Anonymus. In the years 1112-1115/6 he put into writing the oldest history of the Polish dynasty of the Piasts and their patrimony.80 According to his own testi­ mony, the work, written in rhythmical rimed prose, was written at the demand of Micha!, chancellor to king Bolesîaw III the Wry-mouth. Bolesîaw himself had presented the author, who was a foreigner, with most of the necessary informa­ tion.81In this way, the oral traditions of the court were put into writing. The chron­ icle, which is trustworthy for the facts it contains, is the most important written source on the Polish early Middle Ages. Similar stories of heroism written for an aristocratic lay public can be found in Hungarian historiography. Probably around the turn of the eleventh century a series of historiographical notices was written, together known as the “lost Gesta”, traces of which have been found in later histo­ riographical works.82 The first of these extant works are the Gesta Ungarorum monde occidental, ed. A. B oureau and C.-S. INGELFLOM (Paris, 1992), pp. 53-61. 77 Edition of the vitae in: Monumenta Poloniae Historica, new series 4,1-3, ed. J. K ar w asiñska (Warsaw, 1962-1973). See also: J.

Anonymi, written around 1200.83 The first Bohemian historiographical work, the chronicle of the Prague canon Cosmas, was conceived at the beginning of the twelfth century. He started his work in 1110, and continued it until his death in 1125.84The works mentioned may be considered “national chronicles” in that they give predominance in their country’s history to the ruling dynasty; they present an “official” account of the beginning of the nation and the state. Naturally, the origi­ nes are accompanied by supernatural events to prove the exceptional origin of the dynasty. In this, they are altogether similar to the historiography of the “barbar­ ian” peoples of the early medieval West, in which myths about origins also play an important role.85 The second Polish chronicle, that of Magister Vincendus (ca. 1150-1223), presents a myth in which the Poles battle valiantly against Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar.86

L atin L itera cy a n d the C entral E uropean L iterates After this short summary of the first presence of the written word in Central Europe, a few general remarks on the forms and levels of literacy seem in order. The language of the written word was unquestionably Latin, although, as we have seen, there were exceptions to this rule. There are for instance charters of St. Stephen of Hungary in demotic Greek for the monastery of Veszprem, which followed the Orthodox rite.87 From the twelfth century onwards, in Polish charters one finds ever more words in the vernacular, mainly legal terms, and place names.88 As for liturgical texts, we have seen the exceptional plight of Bohemia, due to the mission of Saints Cyril and Methodios. Here, the use of the vernacular was not limited to the liturgy: the first Bohemian hagiographical texts were also written in the vernacular. The oldest version of the legend of St. Venceslaus, for 63 P. magistri, qm Anonymus dicitur, Gesta Hungarorum, ed. A.

instance, was written in Slavic.89 At the end of the twelfth century the first texts written in Czech and Hungarian appear.90 For the time being, however, Latin held sway in written culture. It is worthwhile to reflect on the consequences of the diglossia written La­ tin-spoken vernacular, which was the norm here as elsewhere in medieval Latini­ tas. Problems might occur when juridical terms from oral customary law had to be expressed in Latin, the language of the first charters. Imported written Latin re­ ferred to different sets of legal realities.91 The vernaculars can be seen to enrich Latin vocabulary, thereby forming a Latin characteristic of Central Europe.92 At the same time, due to the Latin of the missionaries and the clerics who succeeded them, the vocabulary of the vernaculars was enriched by Latin. However, new words for religion and worship were often not borrowed from Latin directly, but through the intermediary of the German dialects of foreign clergymen. With the reception of Christianity came the gradual assimilation of certain elements of Western civilization, such as the ecclesiastical calendar and its Latin vocabulary and the institution of the school. The number of lexical borrowings in the vernacu­ lars grew very slowly during the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Polish, for in­ stance, kept almost all the names for the months it had known before the period of the Latinization of the calendar. Only the words for March (marzec) and May (maj) are loanwords.93 In all three countries of Central Europe, the number of people having direct access to the written word was very limited in this first stage of the introduction of writing. The literates came exclusively from the secular and regular clergy. For a 89 See: A A venarius, “Prvá slovanská Vaclavská legenda a slovanslá kultura v Cechach v 10 storaci” [The first Life of St. Venceslaus and tenth-century Slavic culture in Bohemia], in: Typologie rane feudálnich slovanskych státu (Prague, 1987), pp. 275-292. 90 L.

long time, they were also foreigners. In Bohemia and Poland, most bishops came from the Empire; in Hungary, most of them came from France.The author of the second legend of St. Adalbert (Nascitur purpureus flos) and of the Life of the five hermits, was Bruno of Querfurt (ca. 9 7 4 - 1 0 0 9 ) .94 Another foreigner who influ­ enced the culture of the written word in Poland was Gallus Anonymus, whom we have met before. Several generations of medievalists have tried to analyze the descriptio this anonymous chronicler gives of himself, and his declaration that he started his work “lest I ate Polish bread for nothing”.95 The present consensus seems to be that he was a French Benedictine, probably educated in the school of Hildebert of Lavardin.9697Foreign contributions to Hungarian written culture were also considerable. Geliert (Gerhard), the bishop of Csanád and the author of the theological tract Deliberatio supra hymnum trium puerorum97 who was canon­ ised in 1 0 8 3 , came from the North of Italy.98 It was probably a monk from the Empire who, at the end of the eleventh century, wrote the Legenda maior of St. Stephen.99 Only in the twelfth century do we encounter the first native literates. Then, the period of travels in search of Western scholastic erudition begins. For Central Europeans, Liège, Paris and Bologna became the main destinations. Ever more Czechs and Poles went to Italy, whereas the Hungarians had a strong preference for France. The two marriages of king Béla III (ca. 1 1 4 8 - 1 1 9 6 ) with French prin­ cesses (Anne of Châtillon and Marguerite Capet) as well as the activities of French clerics, especially Cistercians, were to lead to the permanent presence of Hungarian students at the University of Paris.100

The Introduction o f Writing

The first generation of native authors begins with Cosmas, the Prague canon who wrote the first Bohemian chronicle (f 1125). His knowledge of Classical authors and of the ars dictandi was acquired at the renowned cathedral school of Liège.101 In the thirties of the twelfth century, one of the first Polish intellectuals, Jan, archbishop of Gniezno, had probably studied there as well.102 Around 1200, Poland will possess in Magister Vincentius Kadlubek a learned chronicler whose erudition is even more impressive than that of Cosmas. Having studied at Bolo­ gna, he left an account of Polish history which is at the same time a political and philosophical treatise, full of quotations from auctores, theological and juridical works.103 Two important groups of milieux can be distinguished among these clerical literates. The first is that of the cathedral milieux centred on the bishops. Rather than the monasteries, the cathedrals were the first intellectual centres of Central Europe. Everywhere it was at the cathedrals that the first systematic annalistic records were kept. In Prague annalistic notices are made from the tenth century onwards (although the exact date at which they were begun is still in dispute).104 In Poland, because of the pagan reaction which destroyed Gniezno in the middle of the eleventh century, the cathedral milieu of Cracow became the predominant centre of learning. It was here that annals began to be kept and a relatively large library was collected, the contents of which are known through inventories drawn up in 1101 and 1110. Among the titles of its 53 manuscripts can be found texts of Boethius, Gregory the Great and Isidore of Seville, but also Classical authors such as Sallust and Terence.105 The second group of milieux was that of the central (most often royal) chan­ ceries. They were true concentrations of literates, and in time became centres of intellectual and literary life.106 The Hungarian royal chancery, for instance, whose structures were influenced by those of the Empire and France, saw the compilation

of historiographical works.107 Each chancery expressed in its literary output the will and interests of the monarch. What was the level of access to writing of the members of the ruling dynas­ ties, who formed the apex of the lay elites? Were they able to read, and thereby to enter the world of the litteratiï Unfortunately, our knowledge of this topic is lim­ ited. Nevertheless there are sources for each dynasty of Central Europe. As we have already observed, the Premyslids learned to read with the aid of psalters in Latin and Slavic. That the girls, too, may have learnt to read, can be concluded from the observation that princess Mlada-Maria was “learned in the Scriptures”.108 According to his Legenda minor, the first Hungarian king, St. Stephen, not only learnt to read, but also to write.109 However, the hagiographical character of the Legend calls for some doubts about the reliability of this observation. As for the Piasts, we have a snippet of information about the education of king Mieszko II (1025-1034). At the beginning of his reign (1025-1027), he received a deluxe copy of the Liber officiorum of Ps.-Alcuin from Matilda, the daughter of Her­ mann, Prince of Suabia. Matilda at the time was married to the duke Frederick of Lorraine (1026-1033). In the letter accompanying the gift, the young addressee’s Christian and royal virtues are praised together with his linguistic abilities: “Who has put together so many languages in the praise of God? Whereas you might have venerated God decently in your own language and in Latin, that was not enough for you, and you wished to add Greek to them”.110 One is led to think that his linguistic ability means that Mieszko was able to read Scripture in three lan­ guages. Where Mieszko learnt to read is not clear. Maybe the study of Greek was

already possible in the surroundings of the first archbishops of Gniezno?111 Or maybe Matilda merely exaggerated Mieszko’s abilities?

Illiterates It is clear that in the first stage of the introduction of writing the uses of the written word were quite limited. Equally limited was the number of people who had reason to resort to writing and had the ability to do so. Writing functioned rather like a supplementary form of communication, with the bulk of the popula­ tion unable to participate in Latin written culture. If laymen used graphic symbols at all in everyday life, they were not alphabetical. Pictograms and geometrical designs to mark roads and properties did exist. In Silesia, for example, even today the thirteenth-century pillars that demarcated the property of the bishops of Wroc­ law remain in situ, engraved with crosses and croziers.112 These signs were clear to illiterates, and may be considered a substitute for writing. But laymen did not themselves use the alphabet. Illiterates came into contact with written texts when they saw the inscriptions in churches, the legends on coins and on seals.113 Coins, produced by the thousand, mobile and durable by their very nature, carried messages which were recognized as such. Being able to read accurately their signs was a different matter. Even if they were conscious of the importance of inscriptions, illiterates needed help to understand them. This type of contact with writing may easily have led to the use of writing and written texts for magical purposes.114 111 L a b u d a , Mieszko //, pp. 27-28; J.

The N ex t Sta g es in the Introduction o f W riting The situation begins to change in the thirteenth century, which signified a new stage in the development of literate modes of behaviour in the three countries of Central Europe. Characteristic of this new stage is the astonishing take-off of pragmatic literacy in response to factors which changed the economy and the social structures of the region. The “German colonization” East of the Elbe, or rather the “colonization according to German law”, was followed by economic prosperity and the development of town life. Towns were to make excellent use of the possibilities of writing. One also sees the reception of Roman law in political ideology. The implementation of the model of the sovereign monarch as expressed in the concept of the Corona regni needed an efficacious bureaucracy. The first universities in Central Europe, those of Prague (founded in 1346) and Cracow (founded in 1363 and re-founded in 1400) became the nursery of indigenous intel­ lectual milieux that did no longer feel the need to set off for Italy or France in search of an education. In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries the vernaculars were emancipated and become languages of writing. The Czech language was the first to be written down; the Hussite revolution of 1416 was to accelerate the development of Czech as a literary language. The fifteenth century may be characterized as the third and final phase of the introduction of writing, when the written word permeates the fibre of Bohemian, Polish and Hungarian social life-even if there remain certain areas in which orality continues to be preeminent. Central Europe participates actively in European cultural exchange, digesting Renaissance thought and providing the budding Ref­ ormation with some of its more radical ideas. Although in the space of an article it is impossible to deal with all aspects of the topic, I hope to have shown at least the outline of the process. As with the study of medieval written communication in Western Europe, much may be hoped from rereading the written sources from this relatively new perspective. A compar­ ison with post-Roman Western Europe also imposes itself. Only if the cultural history of the “peripheral” zones of Western civilization is taken on board, may one discern what was common to the development of literacy, and what was mere­ ly peculiar to a particular region. A comparative approach on a pan-European level is needed in order to answer the general question whether there was indeed a single process of “literalisation”, and, if so, where it originated. A comparative approach on the level of Central Europe is needed to find out which characteristics of “literalisation” were common to Bohemia, Poland and Hungary, and in which

Bibliography

In many cases it proved difficult to decide under which heading a title might best be placed. It is clear that there is an important amount of over­ lap between the sections of the bibliography. This is also evident from the internal cross-references, which more often than not refer to works in other sections. To make sure the user will find all titles relevant to his interests, two indices have been added, consultation of which will probably prove rewarding. The bibliography is based on an earlier effort, published in 1995 in Communicatie in de Middeleeitwen (No. 189 in the present bibliogra­ phy). It numbered a mere 702 titles, whereas the present bibliography numbers 1580 titles. The increase is due not only to the continuing interest of medievalists in matters relating to medieval communication, but also by the inclusion of several new sections. In addition, an effort has been made to include a representative selection of work done in Scandinavia and the countries of East Central Europe. Many have brought publications to my attention. In particular I would like to thank the members of the “Pionier project Verschriftelijking” of the University of Utrecht (among whom Anna Adamska was responsible for most of the references to Czech, Polish and Hungarian materials), Michael Clanchy (London) and Inger Larsson (Stockholms Universitet). Janneke Raaijmakers, now of the University of Amsterdam, helped compile an impressive list of additions to the 1995 bibliography on the basis of the electronic International Medieval Bibliography and the International Bibliography o f the Modern Languages Association. Needless to say, all errors and inconsistencies in the following pages are my own.
