Abstract
The study of the migration of manuscripts, as part of the history of libraries, is one of the interesting chapters in the history of culture. It provides with a picture of the contribution of every nation to the foundations of modern civilization. France is particularly interesting in such studies, since it was on its territory that a large number of ancient classical manuscripts were kept and copied in the Middle Ages. The decadence of the mediaeval ecclesiastical institutions, rather than their dispersion in the sixteenth century, the customary complaint, meant that those ancient classical manuscripts lost the secure home they had had for at least six or seven centuries since the time of their most likely importation from Italy during the Carolingian renaissance at the end of the eighth and beginning of the ninth centuries, as did the pre-Carolingian or the Carolingian manuscripts that had been produced in those centres. Keywords: Carolingian renaissance; France; Italy; Latin manuscripts; modern civilization
