Patrick Geary will present his ongoing project which provides scholars with access to the material and textual sources of Carolingian monastic culture through his web-based Stgallplan.org. He will explore how this series of databases, digitized manuscripts, and accompanying metadata can explore, among other things, the access that Carolingian intellectuals had to Latin translations of Greek medical, historical, theological, and philosophical texts, and how western monks integrated this Greek material into their mental worlds.
