2. 2. The Wandering Mind

   What Medieval Monks Tell Us About Distraction

   

   Drawing on the lives and writings of early medieval monks, this study explores how people in the past grappled with distraction, devising routines, rules, and mental exercises to corral wandering thoughts. Through vivid case studies and close readings of monastic texts, it shows that attention was a scarce resource long before digital devices, and that strategies to protect it were entwined with power, community, and ideas about the self. The narrative connects centuries-old practices—like prayer schedules, memorization, and environmental design—to contemporary conversations about focus, revealing both the promise and limits of discipline as a remedy for mental drift.

3. 3. The Social Life Of Hagiography In The Merovingian Kingdom

   

   A study of how saints’ lives in Merovingian Gaul were produced, circulated, and applied as practical tools that organized communities, legitimized authority, and managed resources. It follows the networks of clerics, monks, aristocrats, and laypeople who created and used these narratives, showing how hagiography shaped memory, law, politics, and economic practice—mediating patronage, property, labor, and conflict resolution—while guiding moral expectations. By tracing the social contexts of composition and reception, it argues that these texts wielded tangible power in everyday life, rather than serving merely as pious literature.
