L'articolo tratta delle influenze esercitate dalla cultura libraria merovingia sullo sviluppo di alcune pratiche epigrafiche di VIII e IX secolo, con particolare attenzione al panorama monastico italiano. Il focus di questo studio è il fenomeno della circolazione di manoscritti e scritture in ambito merovingio e carolingio con attenzione al ruolo svolto da alcune importanti figure appartenenti alla gerarchia monastica. Dagli scriptoria di Luxeuil e Corbie nuovi stimoli grafici giunsero in Italia attraverso diversi "canali": l'abbazia di San Colombano a Bobbio, in Italia, legata sia alla sfera insulare sia a quella luxoviense, ne è esempio evidente. Il secondo caso esaminato è quello del monastero di San Vincenzo al Volturno, in Italia meridionale, per cui sono state individuate analogie tra le iscrizioni del IX secolo e i manoscritti prodotti a Corbie sotto l'abate Adalardo (781-826).

Abstract

The paper deals with the influences exerted by Merovingian book culture on the development of some eight-ninth century epigraphic practices, which made their appearance in the Italian monastic context. The chief focus of this study is the phenomenon of the circulation of manuscripts and scripts in the Merovingian and Carolingian sphere, giving attention to the role played, in this sense, by some important figures belonging to the monastic hierarchy. From the scriptoria of Luxeuil and Corbie, new ideas came to Italy through different “channels”: the abbey of San Colombano at Bobbio in Italy, bound by a vital link to both the insular and the Luxovian spheres, provides one obvious example. The second case examined is that of the monastery of San Vincenzo al Volturno, in southern Italy, for which analogies have been identified between ninth-century inscriptions and the manuscripts produced at Corbie under abbot Adalhard (781-826).
