First commissioned by Bishop Gerard I of Cambrai (1012-1051) in
1023 or 1024, the Gesta episcoporum Cameracensium was the work of
two authors, the second of whom completed the text shortly after
the death of Bishop Gerard. The three books of the Gesta shed
considerable light on the policies and actions of many of the key
political and religious figures in an economically and
intellectually vibrant region on the frontier between the German
and French kingdoms. The Deeds of the Bishops of Cambrai,
translated in this volume into English for the first time, provides
unique insights into the relationship between the German king and
the bishops within the context of the so-called imperial church
system, the rise of both secular and ecclesiastical territorial
lordships, the conduct of war, the cult of the saints, monastic
reform, and evolving conceptions of the proper social order of
society. Including extensive commentary, apparatus of explanatory
notes, maps, genealogies, this text will be of considerable value
both in undergraduate and graduate courses as well as to scholars.
