JOURNAL OF MEDIEVAL MONASTIC STUDIES
G. A. Loud's thorough and innovative study of the sociopolitical contexts and institutional life of the abbey of Cava adroitly bridges social, institutional, and political history, and will be the standard historical work-for the foreseeable future-on the exterior life of Holy Trinity, Cava during its first three centuries. Loud does not restrict analysis to documents in Pergamene scelte, but provides a historiographically wide-ranging discussion of the administration, finances, political life, and socioeconomic entrenchment of Holy Trinity from its origins under the Lombards to the later thirteenth century.

Ces questions sont vastes et, compte tenu de l'étendue des preuves disponibles, il s'agit d'une enquête ambitieuse... une contribution significative à la connaissance de l'histoire sociale et économique de l'abbaye à l'intérieur du contexte territorial de l'Italie méridionale médiévale.
These questions are broad and, given the breadth of evidence available, this is an ambitious investigation... a significant contribution to the knowledge of the social and economic history of the abbey within the territorial context of medieval southern Italy.
