Innovation is also the theme of Matthew Innes and Rosamond McKitterick's essay on "The Writing of History." They argue that the Carolingian period saw what they term an "historical revolution" in the range and quantity of historical writing and in the role of the written word in recording the past.
McKitterick follows her essay on historical writing with an article on "Script and Book Production." In this piece she examines a number of Carolingian innovations in the realm of script and book production, including the development of caroline miniscule and the adoption of a deliberately didactic layout for Bibles.
The period was significant also in the importance it accorded literacy and literate means of communication: "Even if indirectly," she writes, "no aspect of Carolingian society was left untouched by the written word." George Henderson's "Carolingian Art" is a useful catalogue cum brief discussion of many of the most spectacular examples of Carolingian art.

 H-Net Review: Anna Taylor on Charlemagne: Father of a Continent
According to McKitterick the identity and validation of the Carolingians and their empire was based not only on their status as heirs to the Christian kingdoms of the Old Testament and Rome, but also in relation to classical, and "barbarian" history.
Using the physical evidence of the manuscripts and their transmission patterns, McKitterick rejects the scholarly pursuit of an "Ur" text (the lost original) in favor of examining the specific motivations and requirements of the audience, compilers, and authors of each manuscript.
McKitterick's close reading of a number of texts and manuscripts reveals a wider culture in which memories of the past were selected and shaped to support the Carolingian dynasty and to create Frankish identity.

 Review: History and Memory in the Carolingian World
A high point of the volume is McKitterick's assertion that the account of Pope Zacharias's deposition of the last Merovingian king in 751 and anointing of Pippin is a later Carolingian invention.
Professor McKitterick believes that there was and 'extraordinary revolution in historical writing to be observed in the Carolingian period' (p.

Edward Gibbon and Empire:0521525055:Edited by Rosamond McKitterick, Roland Quinault:eCampus.com
To understand Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire properly it is necessary to have knowledge of his historiographical and philosophical context.
New light is thereby thrown not only on Gibbon's text, but also on the degree to which he can be regarded as a trustworthy guide to late antiquity and the Middle Ages in the late twentieth century.
