This volume analyses the importance of history, the textual
resources of the past and the integration of Christian and imperial
Rome into the cultural memory of early medieval Europe within the
wider question of identity formation. The case studies in this book
shed new light on the process of codification and modification of
cultural heritage in the light of the transmission of texts and the
extant manuscript evidence from the early Middle Ages. The authors
demonstrate how particular texts and their early medieval
manuscript representatives in Italy, Francia, Saxony and Bavaria
not only reflect ethnic, social and cultural identities but
themselves contributed to the creation of identities, gave meaning
to social practice, and were often intended to inspire, guide,
change, or prevent action, directly or indirectly. These texts are
shown to be part of a cultural effort to shape the present by
restructuring the past.
