Including such remarkable accounts as Attila the Hun's meeting with the Pope, Queen Balthild's life, and Gregory of Tours' vivid descriptions of what happens when daily life is enmeshed with politics, From Roman to Merovingian Gaul documents events that are both remarkable in themselves and that demonstrate what made this era of history distinct.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Selection of Texts

There's a nice selection of texts in this volume. Most importantly it provides a full translation of the Chronicle of Prosper of Aquitaine, which was a continuation of the Chronicle of Jerome.

Fascinating primary source material. Would benefit from a historical introduction, or more historical context in the chapter intros for the non-specialist

4.0 out of 5 stars Rome to Merovingian
Reviewed in the United States on 26 May 2011

A good text that scans the society of Gaul for the period stated. The chronilogical lists take awhile to get through but they are followed by many societal portraits that give a feeling for the people and their problems.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is history written by the winners, of that there is no doubt. On the whole, a disappointing selection of texts.
Reviewed in the United States on 31 March 2018

This is a good source book for the early middle ages, and valuable for those who like to delve into original sources to supplement the narrative descriptions usually offered by modern historians. I suppose it is inevitable that this book contains so many documents written by Christian leaders, theologians, and other writers. I found that this tended to turn the book into a triumphal story of the rise and conquest of Europe by Christianity.

Perhaps this is the real story of those times. Certainly it was an important part of the story. But is it the only story? And is it fair to express that story as a cheerleader of Christian Triumphalism? Certainly the rise of Christianity was accompanied by, if not irremediably stained by, oppression and religious genocide, however high minded this is portrayed.

This is history written by the winners, of that there is no doubt. On the whole, a disappointing selection of texts.
