The origins of the large estate of Carolingian Europe and the role it played in the evolution of Frankish society and economy are the themes of this volume. The first group of articles focus on documentary evidence, especially the polyptychs and their interpretation.

Le premier groupe d’articles se concentre sur des documents et plus spécialement sur les polyptyques et leur interprétation. Bien qu’il n’y ait pas de matériel suffisant pour une histoire quantitative, le professeur Devroey soutient que tout indique une expansion démographie, à laquelle viennent s’ajouter l’exploitation de nouvelles méthodes agricoles et de récoltes, ainsi qu’une dépendance vis-à-vis de la famille en tant qu’unité de production. Des études supplémentaires font le lien entre ces propriétés et les réseaux commerciaux de cette partie du monde, du niveau local au niveau international. L’auteur s’efforce finalement de démontrer que le grand domaine était un des facteurs à la base de la volonté des dirigeants carolingiens d’instaurer le ’bonum commune’ et une société stable avec des approvisionnements assurés, des march
