He focussed on the problem that information of the past has to be organised, arranged and above all: selected and put into form in order to be perceived as a whole. In this sense, the process of selection must be seen as the fundamental moment - the "Urszene"--Of making History. This book shows selection as highly creative act. With the richness of early medieval material it can be demonstrated that creative selection was omnipresent and took place even in unexpected text genres. The book demonstrates the variety how premodern authors dealt with "unimportant", unpleasant or unwanted past. It provides a general overview for regions and text genres in early medieval Europe. 410 0$aMillennium-Studien ;$vVolume 96. 606 $aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography$vCongresses 615 0$aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography 676 $a940.1 702 $aSchwedler$b Gerald 702 $aScholz$b Sebastian 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910518198403321 996 $aCreative Selection between Emending and Forming Medieval Memory$92566156 997 $aUNINA
