Contradictions over the meaning of adoration (adoratio) in Theodulf of Orléans’ Opus Caroli regis contra synodum have been used to minimize the role of mistranslation in the late eighth-century Greek–Latin dispute over images. This study, however, scrutinizes the contested meaning of adoration in the original manuscript to expose tensions among Charlemagne’s key theological advisers. These fissures reveal the text’s collaborative production and purpose: neither the fully independent work of a lone scholar, nor intended for publication to an extensive audience, but a project to stimulate debate amidst the king’s counsellors.
奥尔良的西奥多弗在《Opus Caroli regis contra synodum》中对崇拜(adoratio)含义的矛盾被用来最小化误译在八世纪晚期希腊语-拉丁语图像争端中的作用。然而,本研究仔细研究了原稿中 "崇拜 "这一有争议的含义,揭示了查理曼大帝的主要神学顾问之间的紧张关系。这些裂痕揭示了该文本的合作制作和目的:既不是一个学者完全独立的作品,也不是为了向广大读者出版,而是一个在国王的顾问中引发争论的项目。

The early medieval coin-using economy is traditionally conceptualized as a masculine sphere with minimal female involvement. This article examines a corpus of 135 gold and pale gold coins of the later sixth and seventh centuries that underwent modification as coin-pendants, a form of jewellery that belongs almost exclusively to feminine contexts. Analysis of this corpus reveals that these coins were valued as coins, with their attendant symbolic and economic significance, and that this transformation into jewellery did not irreversibly remove them from circulation, offering important evidence for female engagement in the seventh-century coin-based economy.

This work is the most complete investigation to date of the enigmatic ivory rings found in graves of fifth- to seventh-century lowland Britain. This new survey of the archaeological evidence has produced a corpus of 752 ivory rings from seventy-eight cemeteries. This corpus has been used to reveal a novel pattern of use, with the majority of ivory rings deposited in eastern England in the fifth century. In the sixth century, the distribution widened, and the number of rings deposited decreased. Most of the ivory rings in lowland Britain were deposited before 560.
