The Cartulary of Mont-Saint-Michel is a handsome illuminated manuscript of a collection of documents relating to the Benedictine monastery of Mont-Saint-Michel off the coast of Normandy. Made at the behest of the abbot—either Bernard or Geoffrey—in the mid-twelfth century at Mont-Saint Michel, it is the only surviving cartulary from the important abbey and pilgrimage site. It is justly famous for its four accomplished drawings, one subsequently enhanced with gold, depicting the legendary founding of church on the island and the abbey's more recent history.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
