4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Account of A Great Medieval Forger, May 29, 2000
This review is from: Relics, Apocalypse, and the Deceits of History: Ademar of Chabannes, 989-1034 (Harvard Historical Studies) (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book a lot. Once I got clued in to the "inside baseball" of Ademar's world, I then began to enjoy the story of this man who was - it seems - always scrambling for an opening. His fall was spectacular but the story of how he got there - and how hard he fell - was fun to read.

I was especially interested in the discussion of Ademar's attempts to move the patron saint of his abbey - St. Martial - a couple of centuries back in time so he could lay claim to having in fact been one of the original Christian apostles! For such a spectacular if presumptive move, surely Ademar deserves some sort of award for historical chutzpah!
