The Continuation of Aimoin and the Sources of the Anonymous of Chantilly/Vatican --Notes --Bibliography --IndexIn a poststructuralist study of thirteenth-century French historical texts, Gabrielle Spiegel investigates the reasons for the rise of French vernacular prose historiography at this particular time.
