Abstract

Carolingian Culture at Reichenau and St. Gall is a digital research tool providing access to the material and intellectual cultures of Carolingian monasteries. The website was produced at the University of California, Los Angeles between 2003 and 2009 with the financial sponsorship of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The first phase focuses on the Plan of St. Gall (CSG 1092) and provides high-resolution imaging of the Plan and related data bases on Carolingian material culture. The second phase reconstitutes virtually the ninth century libraries of St. Gall and of Reichenau including 170 complete manuscripts today found in 17 European libraries. For each manuscript, in addition to high-resolution access to the manuscript itself, metadata provides information on the contents, codicology, and bibliography. Finally, a series of commissioned essays introduce users to Carolingian monastic culture.
