In the early twelfth century a Burgundian monk set out to tell the
500-year history of his monastery, embedded within a broader
history of early medieval France. The Cartulary-Chronicle of
St-Pierre of Beze is both a history of the monastery and a
collection of its 331 charters, from its seventh-century foundation
until the middle of the twelfth century. Beze was a Benedictine
house whose history included at least six incidents of sacking and
destruction - and according to its twelfth-century chronicler it
always recovered and emerged stronger than ever. Combining the
history of Burgundy and Francia with the history of his house,
John, the chronicler, created a past for Beze as he wanted it to be
remembered. Based on John's autograph manuscript, The
Cartulary-Chronicle of St-Pierre of Beze is published here in full
for the first time. While the monks of Beze have often been
overshadowed by their more famous neighbours, the monks of Dijon,
this edition recounts the history of one of the oldest houses in
Burgundy and gives it its proper due.
