Abstract

Beata. A Woman in the History of the Abbey of St Gallen between Remembrance and Oblivion
The article deals with Beata and her family, especially with the donations made by this woman and her son to the monastery of St Gallen (in modern Switzerland) during the 740s. The article explores the possible social and political backgrounds of these grants and what happened to the donated goods during the 8th and 9th centuries. Finally, the article explores the monastic remembrance of donor & donation, which in the case of Beata appears fairly selective.
