International audience ; The Visio Bernoldi is part of a group of so-called, "political visions" from the Carolingian period. It reports the journey to the other world, during a near fatal illness, of a certain Bernold. Various people – among them Charles the Bald – all suffering for their sins, begged Bernold that on his return to the mortal world he ask their dependents and friends for prayers, alms and masses. Circulated and commented by Hincmar of Reims, the text conspiculously serves the archbishop's interests. This article considers the complex textual tradition of this short but fascinating text, and offers its first critical edition. The Visio Bernoldi circulated in three versions, called here A, B and C. C is an abridged, partial paraphrase integrated into Flodoard's History of the Church of Reims (953). Flodoard used the Visio Bernoldi as a historical document to provide a divine justification for the political fate of Ebo and Hincmar of Reims, and of Charles the Bald. Version A, as argued here, is closest to the original letter, while B (only partially extant) can be understood as a conscious revision to improve the rustic and cumbersome Latin of the original text. The article also proposes an in-debth study of the extant and lost manuscripts (Paris, BNF, lat. 5327, Brussels, Bibliothèque Royale 4087-4100, Paris, BNF, nouv. acq. lat. 469, Paris, BNF, fr. 17698I, Bibliothèque d'Hérivaux (lost), Bibliothèque de Saint-Bénigne de Dijon (lost)). ; La Visio Bernoldi fait partie d'un groupe de « visions politiques » carolingiennes. Le texte relate le voyage dans l'au-delà, durant une maladie presque fatale, d'un certain Bernold. Plusieurs personnes, parmi lesquelles Charles le Chauve, toutes souffrant à cause de leurs péchés, supplient Bernold de demander à leurs dépendants et amis d'offrir des prières, des aumônes et des messes. Diffusé et commenté par Hincmar de Reims, le texte sert de manière flagrante les intérêts de l'archevêque. Cet article étudie la complexe tradition textuelle de ce texte court mais ...

This volume is an investigation of how Augustine was received in the Carolingian period, and the elements of his thought which had an impact on Carolingian ideas of 'state', rulership and ethics. It focuses on Alcuin of York and Hincmar of Rheims, authors and political advisers to Charlemagne and to Charles the Bald, respectively. It examines how they used Augustinian political thought and ethics, as manifested in the De civitate Dei, to give more weight to their advice. A comparative approach sheds light on the differences between Charlemagne's reign and that of his grandson. It scrutinizes Alcuin's and Hincmar's discussions of empire, rulership and the moral conduct of political agents during which both drew on the De civitate Dei, although each came away with a different understanding. By means of a philological–historical approach, the book offers a deeper reading and treats the Latin texts as political discourses defined by content and language.

Influences on the "De civitate dei" -- Augustine's stance on worldly rule and his assessment of politically organised communities in the "De civitate dei" -- Concepts of Augustinian political thought -- Dispensatio -- Felix/felicitas and beatus/beatitudo -- Iustitia and pax -- Alcuin's direct use of Augustine in the "Epistolae" -- Alcuin's indirect use of Augustine: his stance on worldly rule and recourse to Augustine's terminology -- Hincmar's direct use of Augustine in the "Epistolae" -- Hincmar's indirect use of Augustine: his "Expositiones ad carolum regem" and "De regis persona et regio ministerio" -- Carolingian political thought c. 800-c. 900 -- Alcuin's and Hincmar's uses of Augustine in the light of changing "state-church" relations.

Abstract
The Collectio Britannica, compiled in the late 11th century and preserved in only one manuscript (London, BL, Add MS 8873), contains numerous excerpts from papal letters dating from the fifth to the eleventh centuries, including many that are not known from other sources. For a long time it was considered a reliable source, but between the 1940s and 1980s some scholars expressed doubts about the authenticity of various letters found in the Britannica, and even in more recent research the collection is still viewed with suspicion. However, a re-examination of the relevant studies shows that many arguments against the authenticity of the papal letters as found in the Britannica were speculative at best. Most 'suspicious' elements are in fact found only in the extant London copy of the Britannica, not in the version used in the 1090s by Ivo of Chartres and his collaborators. Only in very few cases is there reason to believe that the sections of the Britannica in question contain extracts from forged or falsified papal letters. With the exception of the section on Leo IV, the relevant parts of the Britannica can usually be relied upon to faithfully retain the content, wording, cursus, and even the order of the papal registers on which they are ultimately based.
