GLMFII is devoted to examining how the impact of the French language between 1100 and 1300 affected a virtually homogeneous language area and to what extent this impact can be shown to represent a differentiating factor in relation to the geography of language.

GLMF I presents an examination of the bearers of cultural exchange in spiritual and intellectual matters as well as the dissemination of Gallo-Latin encyclopedias, allegories, poetry, and works of literary criticism. It summarizes the transmission of Latin sermons, devotional literature, biblical exegesis, bible epics, arts literature, philosophy, and theology from France, and also shows interconnections between educational and vernacular texts.
