Abstract
Adso of Montier-en-Der’s work as a hagiographer is typically overlooked in discussions of late 10th-century monastic ‘reform’. This paper revisits his Life and Miracles of St Basolus of Verzy (BHL 1034-1035) to do two things. One is to review traditional arguments about the context in which the narrative was created. And the second is to argue that the text holds an until now unsuspected commentary on two poorly documented trends in 970s-980s monastic organization and spirituality. These trends were a push for greater integration in governance, and the fostering of imagined communities of institutions that claimed a shared spiritual ancestry in Columbanian monasticism.
