Extract

When in 1950–1951 Kassius Hallinger's impressive, not to say monument al, work was published in which with extraordinary wealth of detail he showed the basic differences in organization and observance between the two tenthand eleventh-century movements of monastic reform, the Lotharingian and Burgundian, thus proving them to have been each quite independent of the other — a thesis contrary to the view then prevalent among historians — one of the most striking features of his elaborate study was the concluding chapter devoted to the differences between the customaries or consuetudinaries of these two distinct currents of monastic life, emanating respectively from Gorze and Cluny. It was no surprise, therefore, some years later to learn that he had succeeded in securing the collaboration of twenty-seven medievalists in a project which was to include critical editions of the chief representatives of this type of document.

1 Hallinger, Kassius, O.S.B., Gorze–Kluny: Studien zu den monastischen Lebensformen und Gegensätzen im Hochmittelalter I–II (Studia Anselmiana 22–23, 24–25; Rome 1950–1951). This work, as is well known, was read at the time with close attention and widely discussed, nor has its value or importance diminished since. Special mention may be made here of the review written by Hans Erich Feine (Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stiftung für Rechtsgeschichte, Kanonistische Abteilung [= ZRG Kan. Abt.] 37 [1951] 404–416), that of Paulus Volk, O.S.B. (Revue d'histoire ecclésiastique [= RHE] 47 [1952] 247–251), and of Dom Hubert Dauphin's valuable article, ‘Monastic Reforms from the Tenth Century to the Twelfth,’ Downside Review 70 (1952) 62–74. Of exceptional value are Dom Jean Leclercq's brilliant lectures published under the title, ‘Pour une histoire de la vie de Cluny,’ RHE 47 (1952) 385–408, 783–812, and of importance also the comments of Gerd Tellenbach in his Introduction to the volume, Neue Forschungen über Cluny und die Cluniacenser (Freiburg i. Br. 1959) 6–9. Only after this Survey had gone to press, did the most detailed review of all come to my attention: Schieffer, Theodor, ‘Cluniazensische oder gorzische Reformbewegung?’ Archiv für mittelrheinische Kirchengeschichte 4 (1952) 24–44. Still further reviews are mentioned by K. Hallinger in his article, ‘Zur geistigen Welt der Anfänge Klunys,’ Deutsches Archiv für Erforschung des Mittelalters 10 (1953) 418 n. 7.Google Scholar

But who are ‘we’? They remain anonymous.

78 Seebass, O., ‘Über die Statuta Murbacensia,’ ZKG 12 (1891) 322332. These Statutes had been edited for the first time by Bernard Pez, Benedictine of Melk, in his Thesaurus anecdotorum novissimus (cit. n. 60 above) 2.3.373–381, from a sixteenth-century copy based on a transcript made in 1500 from a rotulus preserved in the abbey of Murbach. This roll had disappeared for a century or more, but was recently discovered by C. Wilsdorf, Directeur des Services d'Archives Départementales du Haut-Rhin (‘Le manuscrit et l'auteur des Statuts de Murbach,’ Revue d'Alsace 100 [1961] 102–110). The first to suggest a connection between these ordinances and the Capitularies of 817 was Mansi 14 (1769) 345–346. Pez's text has been reprinted four times in all, as follows: Schannat, J. F.Hartzheim, J., Concilia Germaniae 1 (Coloniae 1759) 378–382; Mansi, , loc. cit. 349–354; PL 99.739–744; Albers, B., loc. cit. (n. 23 above) 79–93.Google Scholar

After a careful palaeographical study of the rotulus, Prof. Bernhard Bischoff has shown that it was produced in the episcopal scriptorium of Basel between 816 and 825, that is, during the bishopric of Haitto, who was abbot also of Reichenau from 806 to 822/823.Google Scholar

This was included by Severin Binius in the second edition of his Concilia generalia et provincialia 3.1 (Coloniae Agrippinae 1618) 260–264. From Pithou's manuscript (Parisin. lat. 4638) a new edition was published by Sirmond, J. in his Concilia antiqua Galliae 2 (Lutetiae Parisiorum 1629) 435–442. Pithou's edition was reprinted again in 1640, but it was Sirmond's text which was included in the Conciliorum omnium … collectio regia 21 (Parisiis 1644) 23–47, and it was his text also which Haeften, B. included in his Monasticarum disquisitionum Pars 2 (Antverpiae 1644) 1092–1103. It reappears in the great collection of Labbé, L. and Cossart, G., Sacrosancta concilia ad regiam editionem exacta 7 (Parisiis 1617) 1507–1512. Six years later appeared S. Baluze's edition of the Capitularia regum Francorum, whose text of the Capitulare Monasticum had rather held the field down to the appearance of B. Alber's edition in 1907 — quite unfortunately, says Semmler (see his discussion of the problem in Deutsches Archiv für Erforschung des Mittelalters 16 [1960] 313–315). With the single exception, therefore, of J. Hardouin's Acta conciliorum et epistolae decretales ac constitutiones summorum pontificum 4 (Parisiis 1714) 1229–1233, where Sirmond's text is reprinted, Baluze's text, as has already been said, dominates in the following editions: Goldast, M., Collectio constitutionum imperialium 3 (Francofurti ad M. 1713) 220–224; Lünig, J.

105 The spirit in which Rode entered upon his task at St. Matthias' is admirably expressed in the Prologue to the Customary written some fourteen years later. (Berlière, , op. cit. 104107, gives a French translation of the document; Redlich publishes the Latin original, op. cit. 108–112; see present edition, pages 3–7).Google Scholar

This work, as is well known, was read at the time with close attention and widely discussed, nor has its value or importance diminished since. Special mention may be made here of the review written by Hans Erich Feine (Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stiftung für Rechtsgeschichte, Kanonistische Abteilung [= ZRG Kan. Abt.] 37 [1951] 404–416), that of Paulus Volk, O.S.B.

Of exceptional value are Dom Jean Leclercq's brilliant lectures published under the title, ‘Pour une histoire de la vie de Cluny,’ RHE 47 (1952) 385–408, 783–812, and of importance also the comments of Gerd Tellenbach in his Introduction to the volume, Neue Forschungen über Cluny und die Cluniacenser (Freiburg i.

78 Seebass, O., ‘Über die Statuta Murbacensia,’ ZKG 12 (1891) 322332. These Statutes had been edited for the first time by Bernard Pez, Benedictine of Melk, in his Thesaurus anecdotorum novissimus (cit. n. 60 above) 2.3.373–381, from a sixteenth-century copy based on a transcript made in 1500 from a rotulus preserved in the abbey of Murbach. This roll had disappeared for a century or more, but was recently discovered by C. Wilsdorf, Directeur des Services d'Archives Départementales du Haut-Rhin (‘Le manuscrit et l'auteur des Statuts de Murbach,’ Revue d'Alsace 100 [1961] 102–110). The first to suggest a connection between these ordinances and the Capitularies of 817 was Mansi 14 (1769) 345–346. Pez's text has been reprinted four times in all, as follows: Schannat, J. F.Hartzheim, J., Concilia Germaniae 1 (Coloniae 1759) 378–382; Mansi, , loc. cit. 349–354; PL 99.739–744; Albers, B., loc. cit. (n. 23 above) 79–93.Google Scholar

After a careful palaeographical study of the rotulus, Prof. Bernhard Bischoff has shown that it was produced in the episcopal scriptorium of Basel between 816 and 825, that is, during the bishopric of Haitto, who was abbot also of Reichenau from 806 to 822/823.Google Scholar

99 Karoli Magni et Ludovici Pii Christianiss. Regum et Impp. Francorum Capitula … ab Ansegiso et Benedicto Levita collectae … ed. Pithou, P. (Parisiis 1588) ff. 336347; reprinted 1603. This was included by Severin Binius in the second edition of his Concilia generalia et provincialia 3.1 (Coloniae Agrippinae 1618) 260–264. From Pithou's manuscript (Parisin. lat. 4638) a new edition was published by Sirmond, J. in his Concilia antiqua Galliae 2 (Lutetiae Parisiorum 1629) 435–442. Pithou's edition was reprinted again in 1640, but it was Sirmond's text which was included in the Conciliorum omnium … collectio regia 21 (Parisiis 1644) 23–47, and it was his text also which Haeften, B. included in his Monasticarum disquisitionum Pars 2 (Antverpiae 1644) 1092–1103. It reappears in the great collection of Labbé, L. and Cossart, G., Sacrosancta concilia ad regiam editionem exacta 7 (Parisiis 1617) 1507–1512. Six years later appeared S. Baluze's edition of the Capitularia regum Francorum, whose text of the Capitulare Monasticum had rather held the field down to the appearance of B. Alber's edition in 1907 — quite unfortunately, says Semmler (see his discussion of the problem in Deutsches Archiv für Erforschung des Mittelalters 16 [1960] 313–315). With the single exception, therefore, of J. Hardouin's Acta conciliorum et epistolae decretales ac constitutiones summorum pontificum 4 (Parisiis 1714) 1229–1233, where Sirmond's text is reprinted, Baluze's text, as has already been said, dominates in the following editions: Goldast, M., Collectio constitutionum imperialium 3 (Francofurti ad M. 1713) 220–224; Lünig, J. C., Deutsches Reichsarchiv 15 (Leipzig 1716) 107–111; Herrgott, M., Vetus disciplina monastica (Parisiis 1726) 23–32; Labbé, P. and Cossart, G., op. cit. supra , ed.

105 The spirit in which Rode entered upon his task at St. Matthias' is admirably expressed in the Prologue to the Customary written some fourteen years later. (Berlière, , op. cit. 104107, gives a French translation of the document; Redlich publishes the Latin original, op. cit. 108–112; see present edition, pages 3–7).Google Scholar

This work, as is well known, was read at the time with close attention and widely discussed, nor has its value or importance diminished since. Special mention may be made here of the review written by Hans Erich Feine (Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stiftung für Rechtsgeschichte, Kanonistische Abteilung [= ZRG Kan. Abt.] 37 [1951] 404–416), that of Paulus Volk, O.S.B.

Of exceptional value are Dom Jean Leclercq's brilliant lectures published under the title, ‘Pour une histoire de la vie de Cluny,’ RHE 47 (1952) 385–408, 783–812, and of importance also the comments of Gerd Tellenbach in his Introduction to the volume, Neue Forschungen über Cluny und die Cluniacenser (Freiburg i.

78 Seebass, O., ‘Über die Statuta Murbacensia,’ ZKG 12 (1891) 322332. These Statutes had been edited for the first time by Bernard Pez, Benedictine of Melk, in his Thesaurus anecdotorum novissimus (cit. n. 60 above) 2.3.373–381, from a sixteenth-century copy based on a transcript made in 1500 from a rotulus preserved in the abbey of Murbach. This roll had disappeared for a century or more, but was recently discovered by C. Wilsdorf, Directeur des Services d'Archives Départementales du Haut-Rhin (‘Le manuscrit et l'auteur des Statuts de Murbach,’ Revue d'Alsace 100 [1961] 102–110). The first to suggest a connection between these ordinances and the Capitularies of 817 was Mansi 14 (1769) 345–346. Pez's text has been reprinted four times in all, as follows: Schannat, J. F.Hartzheim, J., Concilia Germaniae 1 (Coloniae 1759) 378–382; Mansi, , loc. cit. 349–354; PL 99.739–744; Albers, B., loc. cit. (n. 23 above) 79–93.Google Scholar

After a careful palaeographical study of the rotulus, Prof. Bernhard Bischoff has shown that it was produced in the episcopal scriptorium of Basel between 816 and 825, that is, during the bishopric of Haitto, who was abbot also of Reichenau from 806 to 822/823.Google Scholar

99 Karoli Magni et Ludovici Pii Christianiss. Regum et Impp. Francorum Capitula … ab Ansegiso et Benedicto Levita collectae … ed. Pithou, P. (Parisiis 1588) ff. 336347; reprinted 1603. This was included by Severin Binius in the second edition of his Concilia generalia et provincialia 3.1 (Coloniae Agrippinae 1618) 260–264. From Pithou's manuscript (Parisin. lat. 4638) a new edition was published by Sirmond, J. in his Concilia antiqua Galliae 2 (Lutetiae Parisiorum 1629) 435–442. Pithou's edition was reprinted again in 1640, but it was Sirmond's text which was included in the Conciliorum omnium … collectio regia 21 (Parisiis 1644) 23–47, and it was his text also which Haeften, B. included in his Monasticarum disquisitionum Pars 2 (Antverpiae 1644) 1092–1103. It reappears in the great collection of Labbé, L. and Cossart, G., Sacrosancta concilia ad regiam editionem exacta 7 (Parisiis 1617) 1507–1512. Six years later appeared S. Baluze's edition of the Capitularia regum Francorum, whose text of the Capitulare Monasticum had rather held the field down to the appearance of B. Alber's edition in 1907 — quite unfortunately, says Semmler (see his discussion of the problem in Deutsches Archiv für Erforschung des Mittelalters 16 [1960] 313–315). With the single exception, therefore, of J. Hardouin's Acta conciliorum et epistolae decretales ac constitutiones summorum pontificum 4 (Parisiis 1714) 1229–1233, where Sirmond's text is reprinted, Baluze's text, as has already been said, dominates in the following editions: Goldast, M., Collectio constitutionum imperialium 3 (Francofurti ad M. 1713) 220–224; Lünig, J.

105 The spirit in which Rode entered upon his task at St. Matthias' is admirably expressed in the Prologue to the Customary written some fourteen years later.

This work, as is well known, was read at the time with close attention and widely discussed, nor has its value or importance diminished since. Special mention may be made here of the review written by Hans Erich Feine (Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stiftung für Rechtsgeschichte, Kanonistische Abteilung [= ZRG Kan. Abt.] 37 [1951] 404–416), that of Paulus Volk, O.S.B.

Of exceptional value are Dom Jean Leclercq's brilliant lectures published under the title, ‘Pour une histoire de la vie de Cluny,’ RHE 47 (1952) 385–408, 783–812, and of importance also the comments of Gerd Tellenbach in his Introduction to the volume, Neue Forschungen über Cluny und die Cluniacenser (Freiburg i.

78 Seebass, O., ‘Über die Statuta Murbacensia,’ ZKG 12 (1891) 322332. These Statutes had been edited for the first time by Bernard Pez, Benedictine of Melk, in his Thesaurus anecdotorum novissimus (cit. n. 60 above) 2.3.373–381, from a sixteenth-century copy based on a transcript made in 1500 from a rotulus preserved in the abbey of Murbach. This roll had disappeared for a century or more, but was recently discovered by C. Wilsdorf, Directeur des Services d'Archives Départementales du Haut-Rhin (‘Le manuscrit et l'auteur des Statuts de Murbach,’ Revue d'Alsace 100 [1961] 102–110). The first to suggest a connection between these ordinances and the Capitularies of 817 was Mansi 14 (1769) 345–346. Pez's text has been reprinted four times in all, as follows: Schannat, J. F.Hartzheim, J., Concilia Germaniae 1 (Coloniae 1759) 378–382; Mansi, , loc. cit. 349–354; PL 99.739–744; Albers, B., loc. cit. (n. 23 above) 79–93.Google Scholar

79 The much disputed question of authorship (see Semmler, , ‘Zur handschriftlichen Überlieferung und zur Verfasserschaft der Statuta Murbacensia,’ Jahrbuch für das Bistum Mainz 8 [1958–1960] 273288) would seem now to be finally settled. After a careful palaeographical study of the rotulus, Prof. Bernhard Bischoff has shown that it was produced in the episcopal scriptorium of Basel between 816 and 825, that is, during the bishopric of Haitto, who was abbot also of Reichenau from 806 to 822/823.Google Scholar

This was included by Severin Binius in the second edition of his Concilia generalia et provincialia 3.1 (Coloniae Agrippinae 1618) 260–264. From Pithou's manuscript (Parisin. lat. 4638) a new edition was published by Sirmond, J. in his Concilia antiqua Galliae 2 (Lutetiae Parisiorum 1629) 435–442. Pithou's edition was reprinted again in 1640, but it was Sirmond's text which was included in the Conciliorum omnium … collectio regia 21 (Parisiis 1644) 23–47, and it was his text also which Haeften, B. included in his Monasticarum disquisitionum Pars 2 (Antverpiae 1644) 1092–1103. It reappears in the great collection of Labbé, L. and Cossart, G., Sacrosancta concilia ad regiam editionem exacta 7 (Parisiis 1617) 1507–1512. Six years later appeared S. Baluze's edition of the Capitularia regum Francorum, whose text of the Capitulare Monasticum had rather held the field down to the appearance of B. Alber's edition in 1907 — quite unfortunately, says Semmler (see his discussion of the problem in Deutsches Archiv für Erforschung des Mittelalters 16 [1960] 313–315). With the single exception, therefore, of J. Hardouin's Acta conciliorum et epistolae decretales ac constitutiones summorum pontificum 4 (Parisiis 1714) 1229–1233, where Sirmond's text is reprinted, Baluze's text, as has already been said, dominates in the following editions: Goldast, M., Collectio constitutionum imperialium 3 (Francofurti ad M. 1713) 220–224; Lünig, J. C., Deutsches Reichsarchiv 15 (Leipzig 1716) 107–111; Herrgott, M., Vetus disciplina monastica (Parisiis 1726) 23–32; Labbé, P. and Cossart, G., op. cit. supra , ed.

105 The spirit in which Rode entered upon his task at St. Matthias' is admirably expressed in the Prologue to the Customary written some fourteen years later.
