The thirteenth-century cartulary of the abbey of Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Prémontré 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 Prémontré is a rich source for the socio-economic and religious history of the Picardy and Champagne regions during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an introductory essay, Heather Wacha and Yvonne Seale consider not only the history of the manuscript and of the abbey of Prémontré, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yvonne Seale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487544839\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487544836\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Yvonne Seale","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071504543999,"sku":"9781487544836","price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cb4e97be-52b1-4749-8a35-9f24febcf952.jpg?v=1685436491","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-cartulary-of-prmontr-yvonne-seale-9781487544836","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
