Religious Franks: new publication in honour of Mayke de Jong
The new book Religious Franks. Religion and power in the Frankish Kingdoms: Studies in honour of Mayke de Jong (Manchester 木瓜福利影视 Press) was recently offered to (Utrecht Centre for Medieval Studies), upon the occasion of her farewell from Utrecht 木瓜福利影视.
This publication in honour of De Jong offers twenty-five essays focused upon the importance of religion to Frankish politics, a discourse to which she herself has contributed greatly in her academic career. The prominent and internationally renowned contributors to the volume offer fresh perspectives on various themes such as the nature of royal authority, the definition of polity, unity and dissent, ideas of correction and discipline, the power of rhetoric and the rhetoric of power, and the diverse ways in power was institutionalised and employed by lay and ecclesiastical authorities. As such, this volume offers a uniquely comprehensive and valuable contribution to the field of medieval history, in particular the study of the Frankish world in the eighth and ninth centuries.
