Abstract: In this volume, linguistics and history, in all their different dimensions, come together to offer a new reading of Langobard Italy, grounded also in dialogue with philology, archaeology, art history, legal history, musicology, and the study of the material forms of texts and documents. The essays collected here examine lexicons, writing systems, documentary practices, institutions, and social contexts, showing how only a close engagement between different perspectives can do justice to the complexity of the early medieval world. The result is a volume that is at once historical and methodological, analytical and reflective, helping to renew the tools of research while restoring the plurality and richness of Langobard societies.
