Review: This is a collection of papers on a conference held in Magdeburg on the impact of the Otto I on Europe. Taking Magdeburg, the most significan Ottonian foundation as its point of origin, the 17 papers cover architecture, but also the emergence of the coronation ritual, the impact of Otto I and II on Italy, the links between Wessex and Germany, but also an analysis of the coin issues and the role and importance of the Ottonian women (Mathilde, Edgytha, Adelheid and Theophanu).
Not an easy read, but exciting in its range and the carefully argued details. Something for the real fan/expert of the European Middle Ages.
