abstract:
This volume brings together Wendy Davies's pioneering early studies on the text of the Book of Llan Dâv alongside later pieces which explore the place of Wales in the wider world of the early middle ages. The Llandaff studies have provoked much subsequent comment: readers will find it helpful to reconsider what the author actually said about arguably the most significant surviving text for early medieval Welsh history - as opposed to the several published interpretations of what she is supposed to have said. The later work includes much-cited papers on the Latin charter tradition of the Celtic world and on 'Celtic' women; as well as studies of the so-called Celtic church and of the distinctiveness of Celtic saints - in all of which Welsh evidence makes a particularly important contribution. It also includes recent pieces on the environment and economy of early medieval Wales, which highlight some of the crucial new evidence provided by archaeology as well as historiographical issues that attract much current interest. Overall, the author has sought to make Welsh evidence accessible to scholars with interests in other parts of the middle ages and to ensure that Wales plays a part in broader surveys of early medieval Europe.

abstract:
Étude du rôle et de l'importance des prêtres au IXe s. d’après les transactions conservées dans le Cartulaire de Redon. Les prêtres ont alors des propriétés personnelles , qui leur viennent de leur famille, peut-être comme leur propre charge. Ils accumulent parfois les possessions, grâce au prêt sur gages. Ils jouent un rôle important, comme lettrés. Comme témoins de transactions, certains prêtres ont un large champ d’action (ce sont des moines de Redon), d’autres interviennent dans un domaine restreint, dans le ploue où ils habitent, où ils ont des possessions (ce sont des prêtres attachés à une plebs). La grande densité de ces derniers permet de supposer qu’il existait dans chaque plebs une communauté de prêtres, souvent héréditaires, jouissant de larges pouvoirs. Comparée à d’autres pays d’Europe occidentale, la Bretagne a connu une organisation précoce du clergé rural et du service pastoral des campagnes.
