Title: The Oxford handbook of the Merovingian world / Bonnie Effros and Isabel Moreira, editors.

Description: New York : Oxford University Press, [2020] | Includes bibliographical references and index. | Summary: The Merovingian era is one of the best studied yet least known periods of European history. From the fifth to the eighth centuries, the inhabitants of Gaul (what now comprises France, southern Belgium, Luxembourg, Rhineland Germany and part of modern Switzerland), a mix of Gallo-Romans and Germanic arrivals under the political control of the Merovingian dynasty, sought to preserve, use, and reimagine the political, cultural, and religious power of ancient Rome while simultaneously forging the beginnings of what would become medieval European culture and identity Provided by publisher.

This collection of essays first came into being in spring 2014, when Stefan Vranka suggested that we undertake a handbook on all things Merovingian and we began recruitment for the current volume. We wish to thank Stefan and the staff of OUP in New York and around the globe for their support over the past six years and for giving the two us (Isabel and Bonnie) the opportunity to work together and renew a friendship that first began at a conference in Toronto in 1995. We would also like to offer great thanks to our wonderful contributors who, despite often being not just in different countries but on different continents, have not complained (at least to us) about our regular requests and emails over the past years and have been so supportive when we have needed additional assistance to complete the volume in question. In particular, we would like to thank Jamie Kreiner and Simon Loseby for their help fine-tuning some of our translations and Guy Halsall, who generously offered to provide us with an extra essay (which in the end we did not require). Given the challenges of finishing volume production in the midst of the global Covid-19 pandemic, we are especially grateful to Mike Humphreys who did the heavy lifting to start our index, and to Max Laber who took his first steps into the publishing world and added detail to some of the largest entries. We also thank Justin Sorensen (GIS Services) at the J. Willard Marriott Library, Salt Lake City, Utah, who helped us create the volumes map, and Thulasiraman Venkatesan (SPi Global) for his assistance and patience in the layout of the Merovingian family tree at the front of the volume.
