Columbanus and the Peoples of Post-Roman Europe

The period of 550 to 750 was one in which monastic culture become more firmly entrenched in Western Europe. The role of monasteries and their relationship to the social world around them was transformed during this period as monastic insitutions become more integrated in social and political power networks. This collected volume of essays focuses on one of the central figures in this process, the Irish ascetic exile and monastic founder, Columbanus (c. 550-615), his travels on the Continent, and the monastic network he and his Frankish disciples established in Merovingian Gaul and Lombard Italy.
