Self and Society in Medieval France
The Memoirs of Abbot Guibert of Nogent
Edited and with an introduction by John F. Benton
A revised edition (1970) based on C.C. Swinton Bland’s translation
‘An exemplary addition to [the MART] series … [Guibert’s memoirs] provide precious insights into French
culture of the eleventh and twelfth centuries. As he describes himself, he also chronicles contemporary
events such as the 1112 revolt of the Laon commune. Given the complexity of Guibert’s historical maze, the
reader will appreciate Benton’s annotations. What emerges is an engaging portrait of a man and his times.’
