The edition of Ansegis’ capitulary collection is a real treasure trove for anyone interested in the transmission of legal manuscripts in the Carolingian period. With utmost meticulousness Gerhard Schmitz has analyzed the manuscripts of the collection and their textual peculiarities.

Capitularia is now also active on Facebook and Twitter to make the project’s progress more visible and to inform about […]
Since the middle of last year our collation tool has been available to all, we have recently extended its functions: It is possible to compare several chapters from different capitularies, e.g. to check quotations from older provisions.

After the digital edition of the capitularies of Louis the Pious and the manuscript version of the first volume of the print edition has been successfully completed, there was a little more time to turn to other times and rulers. We have therefore worked on the pages of the capitularies of Charlemagne and can now […]
