It aimed to consider problems and their solutions, and it was the subject of a long review article by Abbot Pius Engelbert, which listed those questions the discipline needed to answer: about the origin of manuscripts, for what reason they were written, why these texts were copied, who were the patrons and why did scripts change?

{"title":"Introduction Mobility and migration in the early medieval Mediterranean","authors":"Claudia Rapp","doi":"10.1111/emed.12645","DOIUrl":"10.1111/emed.12645","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Historians have long acknowledged that mobility is a structuring feature of all societies, quite independent of large-scale migrations. In recent decades, increased attention to global and transcultural history has resulted in a greater interest in the history of networks and entanglements that hold regions and people together, whether across large distances or on a smaller scale. It is the mobility of people, objects, texts and ideas that forms the basis for such connections. While there have been seminal and comprehensive studies on these issues for the medieval west, their exploration for medieval Byzantium has only relatively recently begun to gain momentum.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vienna, with its established tradition of Byzantine scholarship at the University and the Austrian Academy of Sciences, has been in the forefront of this development. This is due, not least, to the long-standing research on the historical geography of the core regions of the empire pioneered by Johannes Koder in the context of the &lt;i&gt;Tabula Imperii Byzantini&lt;/i&gt;,\u00001 and also thanks to the research of Johannes Preiser-Kapeller on historical network analysis and histories of entanglements and connectivities.\u00002 The 2015 Wittgenstein-Award of the Austrian Science Fund made it possible to explore ‘Mobility, Microstructures and Personal Agency’ with a large team of scholars, with many publications currently in the pipeline.\u00003 For Late Antiquity, similar lines of enquiry are being pursued in Tübingen, at the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) Research Group ‘Migration und Mobilität in Spätantike und Frühmittelalter’.\u00004 These two research hubs have engaged in fruitful dialogue, of which the present volume is one manifestation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When the editorial board of &lt;i&gt;Early Medieval Europe&lt;/i&gt; approached me with the invitation to deliver the &lt;i&gt;EME&lt;/i&gt; Lecture at the 2021 International Medieval Congress in Leeds, this was an obvious opportunity to build on this dialogue in order to complement the Vienna expertise on the long history of Byzantium with the Tübingen expertise on Late Antiquity, both Greek and Latin. The five papers assembled here investigate one common theme: &lt;i&gt;Mobility in Byzantium – Questioning the Narratives&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first paper, ‘Mobility and Migration in Byzantium: Who Gets to Tell the Story?’, is mine and draws on the insights that were gained from the Vienna team’s work on the creation of &lt;i&gt;Mobility and Migration in Byzantium: A Sourcebook&lt;/i&gt;. The aim of that book is to represent the broadest possible range of sources: from documentary and legal texts to historical narratives, poetry and fictional representations. The authors of these texts often pursued their own agenda, instrumentalizing their depiction of mobility and migration for their own purposes beyond the event at hand.

The focus of the first part is on the scenarios faced by individuals and groups when an enemy had taken control of a settlement or a larger territory. The second part discusses aspects of the role social status and gender played in the process of being taken over and then (possibly but not necessarily) held in captivity. Although one can trace similarities in the way captors treated their captives on different occasions, an overgeneralizing approach can prove misleading, distracting us from the dynamics of the consequences that war and abduction had on both the agency of the victor and the fate of the loser in the early Middle Ages.</p>","PeriodicalId":44508,"journal":{"name":"Early Medieval Europe","volume":"31 3","pages":"430-458"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2023-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/emed.12642","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41935015","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article argues that a closer examination of the actual cultural and political consequences of mobility and contact between Byzantium and Gaul is required, and that the possibility of discontinuity and disintegration should not be disregarded.
