The early medieval Anglo-Saxon missionaries working in the northern Low Countries left traces of their ways of communicating the faith in the descriptions in hagiographical texts produced in the diocese of Utrecht between the eighth and the twelfth centuries, in the vocabulary of the Germanic dialec...

It is argued that Boniface found these texts in Utrecht and inserted them in a dossier he compiled prior to the Concilium Germanicum of 742. The dossier was copied into MS Vatican Palatinus latinus 577, ff. 2-11 at the end of the eighth century, probably at Hersfeld, by an Old High German-speaking scribe. More important than establishing the language or dialect of these two Latin-vernacular texts is the realisation that the difficulties this entails may be used as arguments for the idea that the texts may have been understandable to speakers of more than one language, and that the Baptismal Promise may therefore have been useful in the Christianisation of the continental Germanic-speaking pagans irrespective of the dialects modem scholars ascribe to them. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Amsterdamer Beiträge zur Älteren Germanistik is the property of Brill Academic Publishers and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
