European History History Medieval History Middle Ages Religious History slavery medieval slavery slave trade serf serfdom Bavaria medieval Bavaria medieval Germany concubinage cartulary libri traditionum servi cottidiani mancipia mancipium ancilla famulus servus While the history of slavery in the Middle Ages remains a hotly debated subject, most traditional narratives posit a significant decline in the use of slavery in the Latin West at some point in the early Middle Ages, leaving slaves to be found only in insignificant numbers or in `peripheral’ regions to the north. There is substantial reason to revise this narrative, however, particularly in light of the evidence from the German duchy of Bavaria in the years between 975 and 1225 CE. There, a significant and economically important population of slaves can still be found in the twelfth century, along with a diminished but still active local slave trade.The evidence for the continued vitality of slavery in central-medieval Bavaria is contained mostly in the records of donation to monastic and ecclesiastical institutions that were collected in libri traditionum. From a survey of the donation records contained within the surviving libri traditionum of twenty-seven Bavarian monasteries and churches, it is possible to reconstruct the past condition of servile individuals manumitted as tributary freedmen of the Church, and to discover the still substantial population of slaves owned by the Church itself. 2017-12-12 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu150046157710009 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu150046157710009 restricted--full text unavailable until 2022-08-07 This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
