Relics, Apocalypse, and the Deceits of History

Landes traces the life and career of Ademar of Chabannes-a monk, historian, liturgist, and hagiographer who lived at the turn of the first Christian millennium. Using over 1,000 folios of autograph manuscript that Ademar left behind, Landes has been able to reconstruct in great detail the development of Ademar's career and the events of his day.
