I, monster: queerness and the Liber Monstrorum in early medieval St Gall

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 543-564, November 2024.
This article analyses a ninth‐century copy of the Liber monstrorum from St Gall in which the first monster, a ‘human of both sexes’, speaks in the first person. The scribe also put the Liber monstrorum into dialogue with Isidore of Seville’s Etymologiae, in which Isidore argued that monsters were not ‘contrary to nature’.

The Carolingian cocio: on the vocabulary of the early medieval petty merchant

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 57-81, February 2024.
The word cocio (i.e. petty merchant or broker in classical Latin) was a rare term that after a long absence in written Latin reappeared in several Carolingian texts. Scholars have posited a medieval semantic shift from ‘merchant’ to ‘vagabond’. But this article argues that this consensus is erroneous.

The consul vanishes? On using and not using Gregory the Great's Register in early medieval England

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 106-127, February 2024.
This article builds upon recent scholarship emphasizing the importance of Gregory the Great's Register as a key text of the Carolingian and post‐Carolingian library, exploring by contrast its peculiarly limited reception in England. It first surveys what little evidence we have for its citation by English ecclesiastics (post‐c.1000, mostly via Wulfstan)
