Written between the 8th and the 12th centuries, they represent the variety and spread of the intellectual production of the early Middle Ages and the Romanesque era. The manuscripts were selected because of their importance for the history of French and English relations in the Middle Ages, as well as for their artistic, historical or literary value.
