Une reconstitution hypothétique du cheminement des Annales de Flodoard, depuis Reims jusqu’à Fécamp

It is well known that Dudo of Saint-Quentin used the Annals of Flodoard to write his story of the first dukes of Normandy. The Annals' presence in Fécamp is generally attributed to the reformer of Cluny, William of Volpiano, just after year 1000. However, for reasons of chronology this assumpti...

description It is well known that Dudo of Saint-Quentin used the Annals of Flodoard to write his story of the first dukes of Normandy. The Annals' presence in Fécamp is generally attributed to the reformer of Cluny, William of Volpiano, just after year 1000. However, for reasons of chronology this assumption cannot be sustained. Flodoard wrote the original manuscript of the annals at Reims, and the route by which his Annals came to Fécamp, to become "the Norman branch" of this work, remains relatively obscure. In order to reconstruct this route, a closer study of the manuscripts, first analyzed by the Annals' editor Philippe Lauer, will be presented here. This analysis will suggest an identification of the copyist who may have introduced the first manuscript of Flodoard’s Annals in Normandy. It will also make new suggestions as to the identity of the anonymous continuator for the period 966-978. New leads are suggested, too, with regard to Dudo’s education and the schools where he may have been taught.
