See also A. Ubieto Arteta, Historia de Aragon: la formacion territorial (Zaragoza, 1981). For
the Rioja the few extant original texts will be found in I. Rodriguez de Lama (ed.),
Coleccion diplomatica medieval de la Rioja, uol. II (923-1168) (Logroi\o, 1976). On the
frontier between Pamplona and Castille stands the monastery of San Millan de la Cogolla,
whose charters were first edited in L. Serrano, Carlulario de San Millan (Madrid, 1930),
and subsequently in A. Ubieto (ed.), Carlulario de San Millan de la Cogolla (Valencia, 1976).
Cantabria has been made the subject of two useful studies:].A. Garcia de Cortazar and
C. Diez Herrera, La formacion de la soeiedad hispano-cristiana del Cantabrico al EiJro en los
siglos VIII a XI (Santander, 1982), and C. Diez Herrera, La Formacion de la sociedadfeudal
en Canatabria (Santander, 1990). On the Basque regions see, amongst much else, E.
Barrena Osoro, La Formacion histOriea de Guipuzcoa (San Sebastian, 1989), and the col-
lection of conference papers in La Formacion de Alaua (2 vols Vitoria, 1985). The earliest
fueros of Alava are edited and discussed in G. Martinez Diez, Alaua medieval (2 vols, Vitoria,
1974).
The enormous wealth of Catalonia in charter evidence still remains largely untapped.
some of the texts were published in the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, notably
in the appendices to P. de Marca, Marca Hispanica (Paris, 1688), edited by S. Baluze,
and]. de Villanueva, Viage literario a las iglesias de Espana (16 vols, Valencia, 1803-51).
Since then some of the documents have been lost and some published. One core
collection in the Archivo de la Corona de Aragon in Barcelona has been published in
F. Udina Martorell, El Archiuo condal de Barcelona en los siglos IX-X (Barcelona, 1951).
Known Frankish royal diplomas to churches and individuals in the March have been
edited in R. d'Abadal, Catalunya earolingia pt. II (2 vols, Barcelona, 1926 and 1950), and
the local documentation of the Pyrenean counties of Pallars and Ribagorp in ibid. pt.
III (Barcelona, 1955). The important, if relatively small, holdings of the bishopric of Seu
d'Urgell have been published by C. Baraut up to the year 1100 in Urgellia, vols 1-8
(1979-86/7). The pre-eleventh century documentation of the nearby see of Vic can be
found in E.Junyent (ed.), Diplomatari de la Catedral de Vic, seglts IX-X (3 vols Vic., 1980).
A study and edition of Catalan wills is provided in A.M. Udina i Abello, La suecessio
testada a la Catalunya altomedieval (Barcelona, 1984). The most significant study of the
society and economy of Catalonia in the tenth and eleventh centuries remains that of
P. Bonnassie, La Catalogne du milieu de X' a lafin du XI' sieeles (2 vols, Toulouse, 1975/
6), with a Catalan translation as Catalunya mil anys enrera (2 vols, Barcelona, 1979). For
the history of the city of Barcelona see F. Udina Martorell and ].M. Garrut, Barcelona,
dos mil mios de historia (Barcelona, 1963).


  1. CULTURE AND THE CHURCH


(a) The Later Roman Empire and the Fifth Century
C. Garcia Rodriguez, El culto de los santos en la Espmia romana y uisigoda (Madrid, 1966)
very usefully categorises, with extensive references, the cults of the saints venerated in
the peninsula. The only substantial study of the church in the Suevic kingdom is that
of K. Schaferdiek, Die Kirche in den ReJehen der Westgoten und Sueven his mr EYriehtung der
wfStgotisehen katholisehen Staatskirche (Berlin, 1967). An excellent illustrated survey of
paleochristian and Visigothic art in the peninsula will be found in H. Schlunk and T.
Hauschild, Hispania Antigua (Mainz, 1978).


(b) The Visigothic Period
The important corpus of Latin texts carved on slates, found at various sites in the north-
west of the peninsula have been meticulously studied and edited by I. Velazquez Soriano,
Las Pizal1"US uisigodas: edidon critica), estudio (Murcia, 1989). The texts of the ecclesiastical
councils of the Visigothic kingdom can be found most conveniently in]. Vives (ed.),
Condlios uisigoticos e hispano-romanos (Barcelona and Madrid, 1963), but this has to give
