Nithard's Historiae de dissensionibus filiorum Ludovici Pii is extraordinary for its quotation of vernacular oaths, the first recorded piece of French. The Gesta Francorum is the first eye-witness account of the First Crusade. Geoffrey of Villehardouin's La Conque?te de Constantinople, written by a leader and negotiator of the Fourth Crusade, and Robert de Clari's La Conque?te de Constantinople, written by a common soldier in the same crusade, are the first extant French prose histories. Li Fet des Romains, a translation and compilation of all the classical texts about Julius Caesar (including Caesar's own Gallic Wars) that were known in the thirteenth century, is the first work of ancient historiography and the first biography to appear in French. Jeanette Beer's work bridges the divide between the study of vernacular and Latin writing, providing new evidence that the linguistic cultures were not isolated from each other. Her examination of quotation practices in early medieval histories illuminates the relationship between classical and contemporary influences in the formative period of history-writing in the West. 606 $aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography 606 $aQuotations$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aFrench literature$yTo 1500$xCriticism, Textual 606 $aLiterature, Medieval$xCriticism, Textual 606 $aCivilization, Medieval, in literature 607 $aFrankreich$2gnd 615 0$aMiddle Ages$xHistoriography. 615 0$aQuotations$xHistory 615 0$aFrench literature$xCriticism, Textual. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval$xCriticism, Textual. 615 0$aCivilization, Medieval, in literature. 676 $a808.06/69091 700 $aBeer$b Jeanette$01557225 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792277503321 996 $aIn Their Own Words$93820597 997 $aUNINA
