The monastic community of Fulda was one of the most powerful
institutions in early medieval Europe. This book traces the
development of the community from its foundation in the 740s over
one and a half centuries, a period richly documented by a variety
of texts and archaeological remains. These sources reveal how
Fulda's success forced the monks to rethink their goals and the
ways in which they sought to achieve them. Its close connection to
the Carolingian royal court also makes Fulda a fascinating case
study of how local events influenced life in the palace and vice
versa. The importance of Fulda and the rich array of sources
associated with it have long been recognised, but this is the first
full study, bringing together theology, architectural history and
archaeology. The result is a vivid picture of life in this
monastery and also in early medieval religious communities in
general.
