Description
Summary:The analysis of the content of the first codicological unit of the manuscript Paris, BnF, lat. 8070 allows us to study how Juvenal was read at Mont Saint-Michel shortly after the arrival of the Benedictines around the year 1000. The text of the Satires and their glosses show that the reception of the satirist at Mont Saint-Michel is influenced by the teaching of Remigius of Auxerre and that the model used by the Norman monks probably comes from a library in north-eastern France. The study of the school texts copied after the Satires in this manuscript (fol. 124-128) corroborates this link with schools of north-eastern France and we may assume the existence of a network of intellectual exchanges linking the Mont to the Reims region through Fleury or Corbie.
