Across the pages of the chronicle, supra-regional clashes between emperors and popes play out at the most local level. Monks struggle against the influence of overreaching bishops. Reformers arrive and introduce new and unfamiliar customs. Tensions erupt into violence. Through it all, the chronicler struggles to find meaning amid chaos while forging connections to a distant past through miracles, visions, and relics that link the living and the dead. This anonymous monk enlivens his narrative with countless colorful anecdotes - sometimes amusing, sometimes disturbing - creating a history with its own unique voice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Intended for specialists and students alike, this volume presents the first translation into English of this fascinating text, which offers a unique glimpse into the lived experience of medieval monasticism and its interactions with the society around it.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlison I.
