Each essay examines the mechanisms by which ideas about the past were subtly (and sometimes not so subtly) reshaped for present purposes. As well as written histories, also discussed are saints' lives, law codes, buildings, Biblical commentary, monastic foundations, canon law and oral traditions. The book thus has important implications for how historians use these sources as evidence: they emerge as representations of the past made for very special reasons, often by interested parties. This was the first volume to be devoted fully to these themes, and as such it makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the role of the past within early medieval societies. 606 $aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography$vCongresses 615 0$aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography 676 $a909.07/07/2 702 $aHen$b Yitzhak 702 $aInnes$b Matthew 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449718903321 996 $aUses of the past in the early middle ages$9693735 997 $aUNINA
