Recent archaeological findings, which have so greatly changed our perceptions and understanding of the period, have been fully integrated into the eleven thematic chapters, which provide a fully rounded overview of the entire Italian peninsula in the early middle ages. The chapters consider such themes as regional diversities, rural and urban landscapes, the organisation of public and private power, the role and structure of ecclesiastical institutions, the production of manuscripts, inscriptions, and private charters Zusammenfassung An international team of leading historians and archaeologists provide thematic coverage of this turbulent and controversial period of Italian history. Special attention is paid to the wealth of early medieval Italian written documents! such as private charters! and epigraphs.
