Ugh, I'm gruesomely tired this evening, but fortunately, the Wednesday Reading Meme is here to create content so I don't have to think very hard about it.
What I've finished reading:
Not very much, is the short answer; a lot of bibliographies, is the slightly longer answer. And some articles:
Henri Chanteux, "Monasteriolum Sancti Martini in Diablintico: essai d'identification," La Mayenne 4 (1982), 141-5. [Trying to figure out the location, no discussion of monasterioli at all; totally useless, but mercifully short]
Hubert Guillotel, "L'exode du clergé breton devant les invasions scandinaves," Mémoires de la société d'histoire et d'archéologie de Bretagne 59 (1982), 269-315. [TOTALLY STULTIFYING but probably not bad for pointing me in the direction of passages involving Brittany in tenth-century chronicles/annals if I decide I need them]
What I'm currently reading:
S.E. Kelly, Charters of Glastonbury Abbey, Anglo-Saxon Charters, 15 (New York, 2012). [Yes, still. It's really hard going!]
What I'm about to read:
Steven Vanderputten, Monastic Reform as Process: Realities and Representations in Medieval Flanders, 900-1100 (Ithaca, 2013).
Virginia Reinburg, French Books of Hours: Making an Archive of Prayer, c. 1400-1600 (Cambridge, 2012).
A chapter of a thing on the Benedictine order once CR hooks me up with a copy.
The chapter of Advisor R's book that deals with monasteries.
A bunch of things about the vikings in Brittany, hopefully.
Possibly some other things, if ILL stops cockblocking thwarting me. It fills me with particular rage that I keep having to wait for weeks for things to arrive that exist four miles away in completely inaccessible copies at certain institutions on the more educationally prestigious side of the Charles that don't do ILLs and to whose libraries I can't currently afford to purchase access.
