Reform and the Bishop: Episcopal Attitudes towards the Administration and Reform of Religious Communities during the
Central Middle Ages (Ecclesiastical Province of Rheims, c. 900−c. 1100).

forefront of historical scholarship for a considerable time. However, until recently, the study of reform was characterized by the prevalence of a
dominant interpretive framework. The almost revolutionary changes in the institutional Church and in Christian life from c. 1050 onwards, on the one

communities during the tenth and eleventh centuries have predominantly been interpreted by focusing on the influence of specific 'reform centres',

Bronze - Iron Age Transition (1200-950.B.C.)
K.U.Leuven
Abstract: 1200 B.C. resonates as one of those symbolic dates in history; its importance lies in its position at the beginning of a phase of crucial
change. In the Eastern Mediterranean, the decades following 1200 B.C. are a period of crisis during which significant Aegean, Cypriot, Anatolian,
Levantine and Egyptian centres were devastated (Dothan & Dothan 1992; its importance lies in its position at the beginning of a phase of crucial
change. In the Eastern Mediterranean, the decades following 1200 B.C. are a period of crisis during which significant Aegean, Cypriot, Anatolian,
Levantine and Egyptian centres were devastated (Dothan & Dothan 1992; Gitinet al. 1998; Oren 2000). The Bronze Age political and economic
system collapsed and the aforementioned region underwent profound transformations. Failed harvests, food shortages, floods, earthquakes and fire
destructions are all mentioned in contemporary literary sources. All these can be considered as partial explanations for the complex p
