Boundary clauses and the use of the vernacular in eastern Frankish charters, c.750–c.900*

Abstract: Of the thousands of surviving charters from eastern Carolingian Francia, remarkably few contain boundary clauses, even though ceremonial perambulations were a prominent aspect of property transactions. This article examines these boundary clauses asking when and why perambulations were written down in charters, and why, in an overwhelmingly Latin charter tradition, this was often done with vernacular language. The analysis suggests that boundary clauses were intended as rhetorical statements of elite identific… Show more

“…During these time periods, the lowermost 5 km of Helheim Glacier was near flotation (Kehrl et al, 2017), which should make its velocity more sensitive to both terminus position and basal water volumes (Ultee et al, 2021). After 2015, the lower glacier was more consistently grounded (Roberts, 2018); this is the time period that both we and Vijay et al ( 2019) study.…”
