Frühmittelalterliche Studien is considered by the editors as a forum of comprehensive medieval studies. The yearbook is intended to help to overcome the division of a diverse tradition, which bears witness to the same inseparable contexts expressed in different ways, into conventional specialist fields of work of a conventional subject classification. Whilst maintaining the viewpoints of each specialist subject, a synthesis brings together disciplines which deal with traditional cultural groups or study closely related phenomena which can only be understood in a broader context. This is why the Frühmittelalterliche Studien attaches great importance to contributions that place a specific problem or perspective in a broad context.
