Synopsis:

Guibert of Nogent (1055-1124) was a Benedictine abbot, historian, and theologian whose memoirs offer valuable insight into the religious and political landscape of France during the high Middle Ages. Though relatively obscure during his lifetime, Guibert's autobiography covers an astonishing breadth of content, including the Investiture Controversy, Crusades, Norman Conquest, and the commune of Laon - and pulls back the curtain on the life of the medieval French Church, for better or worse. "The Autobiogrpahy of Guibert of Nogent" is indispensable for students of high medieval culture or Norman France.Contains a new introduction by Phillip Campbell and annotated with footnotes for historical and theological context.
