This book brings together studies focused on the agrarian and economic history of the Middle Ages, with a particular focus on the strategies and material culture of peasant families. They are dedicated to Jean-Pierre Devroey, one of the world's leading specialists in the agrarian history of the Early Middle Ages. A professor at the Université Libre de Bruxelles, he earned an international reputation by breaking down traditional historiographical boundaries and by placing the great Carolingian domain, the circulation of agricultural production, and the history of cereal farming techniques at the heart of his research, among other things. He often drew on sociology, anthropology, and archaeology for insights. The varied studies collected here are the work of medievalists from many countries, illustrating the recipient's influence and bringing innovative perspectives to this important area of research.
