Culture and Society in Medieval Galicia: A Cultural Crossroads at the Edge of Europe. Ed. and trans. James D'Emilio. Leiden: Brill, pp. 282-342, 2015

I demonstrate as well that it was the basis for the forgery of an elaborate privilege ascribed to Ordoño II and recounting the restoration of Samos in 922. This was an effort to embellish the more humble circumstances surrounding the restoration of Samos and its slow recovery of properties and privileges. For its part, Theodenandus’s charter presents a richly allusive preamble, narrative, and sanction which cast light on diplomatic practice and the religious culture of tenth-century Galicia and the Asturian kingdom, at a time of crisis in traditional monastic institutions.

These churches had diverse origins and patrons, and, as centers for rural communities, they were places for assemblies and judicial proceedings. Many monastic churches preserved and renewed traditions associated with the 6th-century abbot and bishop Martin of Braga, and the 7th-century abbot and bishop Fructuosus. The papers in this section consider the ecclesiastical landscape of early medieval Galicia, the recording of oaths, and the transmission of monastic and religious literature from Galicia to the British Isles.
