. Providing a panoramic survey of the sources fromthe region, which include charters, notarial formulas, royal instrumentsand Old High German literature, he untangles the networks of monas-teries and kin-groups which made up the political landscape of Alsace andshows the significance of monastic control in shaping that landscape.
