The Cartulary of Premontre offers a full critical edition,
consisting of a transcription of the cartulary's 509 charters
together with historical notes and apparatus. The
thirteenth-century cartulary of the abbey of Saint-Jean-Baptiste de
Premontre is one of the few manuscripts to survive from this
monastery. Offering a window into daily life in medieval France and
to contemporary documentary practices, the cartulary of Premontre
is a rich source for the socio-economic and religious history of
the Picardy and Champagne regions during the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries. The charters contained in the cartulary illuminate how
this major northern French abbey functioned as a mother house for
the Premonstratensian Order, and how it interacted with people -
both elite and non-elite as well as secular and ecclesiastical. It
also reveals the complexities of cartulary production within a
larger institutional and archival context. In an introductory
essay, Heather Wacha and Yvonne Seale consider not only the history
of the manuscript and of the abbey of Premontre, but also the
cartulary's materiality, its place within the broader field of
cartulary studies, and what it shows us about women's roles in
contemporary society. In doing so, this volume offers new
connections between the field of cartulary studies and feminist
studies.
This innovative collection examines how book history and digital
humanities (DH) practices are integrated through approach, access,
and assessment. Eight essays by rising and senior scholars
practicing in multiple fields—including librarians, literature
scholars, digital humanists, and historians—consider and
reimagine the interconnected futures and horizons at the
intersections of texts, technology, and culture and argue for a
return to a more representative and human study of the humanities.
 Integrating intermedial practices and assessments, the
editors and contributors explore issues surrounding the access to
and materiality of digitized materials, and the challenge of
balancing preservation of traditional archival materials with
access. They offer an assessment in our present moment of the early
visions of book history and DH projects. In revisiting these
projects, they ask us to shift our thinking on the promises and
perils of archival and creative work in different media. Taken
together, this volume reconsiders the historical intersections of
book history and DH and charts a path for future scholarship across
disciplinary boundaries.
