The social transformation of the Roman world is a highly topical
and much-discussed subject among historians. The importance of
kinship in this epochal process has been largely neglected until
now. This compendium seeks to close this gap by examining the role
of kinship in transforming the social order. It significantly
expands our perspective on the epochal upheaval between late
antiquity and the middle ages.
Millennium transcends boundaries - between epochs and regions, and
between disciplines. Like the Millennium-Jahrbuch, the journal
Millennium-Studien pursues an international, interdisciplinary
approach that cuts across historical eras. Composed of scholars
from various disciplines, the editorial and advisory boards welcome
submissions from a range of fields, including history, literary
studies, art history, theology, and philosophy. Millennium-Studien
also accepts manuscripts on Latin, Greek, and Oriental cultures. In
addition to offering a forum for monographs and edited collections
on diverse topics, Millennium-Studien publishes commentaries and
editions. The journal primary accepts publications in German and
English, but also considers submissions in French, Italian, and
Spanish. If you want to submit a manuscript please send it to the
editor from the most relevant discipline: Wolfram Brandes,
Frankfurt (Byzantine Studies and Early Middle Ages):
[email protected] Peter von Moellendorff, Giessen (Greek
language and literature):
[email protected] Dennis Pausch,
Dresden (Latin language and literature):
[email protected] Rene Pfeilschifter, Wurzburg (Ancient

reviewed by the editor and one outside specialist (single-blind
peer review).
In the decrees of the Carolingian rulers ("capitularies"), the
language moves in a zone of indifference between law, morality,
religion and administration. In this way, the Carolingians created
a flexible instrument for communicating with their officials,
which, precisely because of its lack of rules, was particularly
suitable for pragmatic government action. For the first time, the
anthology takes a look at the use of words, the semantic fields and
the relationships to other text types of the 9th century and thus
sheds new light on the conditions for the success of Carolingian
rule.
