From their crystallisation in the late fifth century to their
ultimate decline in the eighth, the Merovingian kingdoms were a
product of a vibrant Mediterranean society with both a cultural
past and a dynamic and ongoing dialogue between the member
communities. By bringing together the scholarship of historians,
archaeologists, art historians, and manuscript researchers, this
volume examines the Merovingian world's Mediterranean connections.
The Franks' cultural horizons spanned not only the Latin-speaking
world, but also the Byzantine Empire, northern Europe, Sassanid
Persia, and, after the seventh century, a quickly ascendant Islamic
culture. Traces of a constant movement of people and cultural
artefacts through this world are ubiquitous. As simultaneous
consumers, adapters, and disseminators of culture, the degree to
which the Merovingian kingdoms were thought to engage with their
neighbours is re-evaluated as this volume analyses written
accounts, archaeological findings and artefacts to provide new
perspectives on Merovingian wide-ranging relations.
