Meet Renbaudus, a child in 1079

July 9, 2009 By Administrator

latinmanuscriptDo you want to learn how children lived and thought in 1079?

For authenticity, life, and color, look no further than this work of love by Jean-Philippe Touzeau. It’s for children everywhere to learn about medieval life, family, education, religion, insight, and humor.

Here’s what Touzeau says:

The codex Renbaudus was found in 1962 in Southeastern France. It contains the memoirs in Latin of an 11th century Norman knight, Renbaudus of Bernay. The codex mainly narrates his pilgrimage to Jerusalem between 1095 and 1099.

Even though many pages of the codex have been lost, it is now understood that it originally contained different sections. In one of the few surviving ones, Renbaudus describes his childhood and the lessons he learned from the Benedictine monks who raised him at Cluny abbey.

As a codicologist, my aim is to translate and share with you what he wrote more than 10 centuries ago, hoping these timeless lessons will be useful. I have taken some stylish liberties and you can find a glossary at the bottom for place names, difficult words and Latin words.
