"Previous studies of the abbey of Sithiu (modern Saint-Omer) have often sought to
explain the competition between the canons of Saint-Omer and the monks of Saint-Bertin,
a rivalry deriving from their shared origins in the abbey of Sithiu. However, David
Defries' book centres on the cooperative relationship that developed between the saints
Omer and Bertin in the monks' collective memory. Earlier historians overwhelmingly
assumed that collective memory has a narrative structure and that the texts meant
to shape its evolution are "historiographic" in form. In contrast, Defries treats
Sithiu's historiography as a type of scriptural exegesis that emphasizes the allegorical
levels, especially typology and tropology, of the Christian scriptural hermeneutic.
This argument has broad implications for the study of early medieval collective memory;
indeed, From Sithiu to Saint-Bertin may be seen as a preliminary case study for the
value of paradigmatic approaches to early medieval memory."
