Leyla Budak budak_leylf1ba — Not really for casual consumption, this is far-reaching in its supportive material, to the extent that it dwelt altogether too much on features such as burial customs and numismatics. I must say, however, that I learned an interesting and valuable lesson in terminus post quem, i.e., the date (from a coin) after which the event associated with its discovery must have taken place. (It was neat how this tied into a coin from Alexander the Great's reign found buried with Childeric, p. 24). James brought a powerful sense of order to what has been written about the Franks. I wish I'd read Gregory of Tours after this book. The Franks is instructive in its description of conditions in the dissolution of the Roman world (75), to include loss of taxation, decline in quality of glassware with almost-unsurpassed swordcraft to compensate(?), and the retained town structures. Some of the embedded commentary about the challenges pertaining to pinning down a single people, their exact movements and descendants (3-6, 35, 118-119, 235-243), was not only appropriate, but a must-read for would-be "nationalist" historians. I usually share something that I enjoyed. How about Queen Fredegund's "paradoxical" name meaning: "peace-battle"? (31) Lastly, this, from page 123, says a lot for what I really think about Constantine: Gregory of Tours's account of the conversion makes clear one aspect which modern historians have not always remembered in their discussions of the conversions of kings. There may be at least three stages in the process: first of all, intellectual acceptance of Christ's message, the 'conversion' proper; secondly, the decision to announce this publicly, to followers who may be hostile to the change; thirdly, the ceremony of baptism and membership of the community of Christians. The Emperor Constantine reached the first stage in 312, never seems to have grasped the nettle of the second stage, and reached the third only on his death-bed in 337.
