‘This is the first authoritative English translation of Hariulf’s Latin chronicle. With an expert historical introduction and annotation the distinguished medievalist Kathleen Thompson has opened up a neglected historical narrative from Northern France for a wider audience. The result is a scholarly triumph.’
— Professor Elisabeth van Houts FBA, Emmanuel College, Cambridge
'Hariulf's History of St Riquier is a key source for our understanding of Europe’s medieval past. This highly accessible English translation with an authoritative introduction deserves a prominent spot on medievalists’ bookshelves and student reading lists alike. A brilliant achievement and an excellent service to historical scholarship.'
— Professor Dr Benjamin Pohl, University of Bristol
'Thompson offers the first English translation of Hariulf’s History of St. Riquier. Non specialists will enjoy this text because of its sweeping narrative and vivid cast of characters, which includes good monks, wicked monks, popes, emperors, aristocrats, and famous theologians. Specialists will find much to commend, not only in Thompson’s translation, but also in her scholarly introduction, footnotes, bibliography, and index... Through biblical allusions, descriptions of relics, bibliographical lists, and references to major Carolingian and papal figures, Hariulf tells a story that places St. Riquier abbey at the intersection of theological and imperial history.'
