This paper takes the circulation of manuscripts and the travels of monks as a starting point for examining the formation of a historical culture in Aquitaine and the Loire valley during the early and high Middle Ages. How did the multiple links and networks built between the monasteries of these areas serve the writing of history? How did both the exchange of manuscripts between the monasteries and the journeys of monks improve their historical knowledge?
