Abstract

Three manuscripts from the first decades of the twelfth century containing the Gesta Francorum Hierusalem expugnantium originate in Saint-Omer, either its collegiate church or the abbey of Saint-Bertin: the original manuscript of the Liber Floridus by Lambert of Saint-Omer (Ghent, University Library, MS 92); Saint-Omer, Bibliotheque municipale, MS 776; and London, British Library, Cotton Fragments vol. 1. Saint-Omer 92 and the Liber Floridus present the original form of the Gesta and are the fruit of the collaboration between Lambert and monks of Saint-Bertin. It is highly probable that the redaction started after and under the impression of the visit of Bohemond of Antioch to Saint-Omer in 1106.
