Thesis abstract:

My main interest is in the strategies employed, consciously or unconsciously, by Carolingian scholars in the ninth century to rediscover, preserve and transmit knowledge.

The focus of my research is a group of multi-text manuscripts from St Gall and where possible, from Reichenau, which I am analysing in the context of other contemporary or near contemporary manuscripts to identify patterns of transmission and storage.

I am also interested in applying digital technology to this research.
