"The Handbook includes forty-six essays written by the most prominent scholars of the Merovingian period, including well-established experts and early-career ones. This combination of authors creates a volume that succeeds in giving diverse perspectives on the Merovingians and which provides its readers with a range of methodological approaches to study late antique and early medieval history, as well as a rich bibliography of primary and secondary sources that should help anyone who wishes to delve deeper into the history of this period."" Tamar Rotman, Independent Scholar, Speculum The Oxford Handbook of the Merovingian World...offers rich discussions about their history from various methodological perspectives. In doing so, it joins other recent volumes on the Merovingians that aim to give a broader outlook on the period, yet none of them is as extensive as the volume under review.... A volume that succeeds in giving diverse perspectives on the Merovingians and which provides its readers with a range of methodological approaches to study late antique and early medieval history, as well as a rich bibliography of primary and secondary sources that should help anyone who wishes to delve deeper into the history of this period....
