At the beginning of the 12th century, the monks of<br />

<strong>San</strong> <strong>Vincenzo</strong> recorded the history of the monastery<br />

from its birth in a chronicle. They had to use several<br />

<strong>di</strong>fferent sources and testimonies that were <strong>di</strong>fficult<br />

to obtain since the Saracens had destroyed everything<br />

in 881. The chronicle is called the Chronicon<br />

Vulturnense and is kept in the Vatican Library<br />

(Barb. Lat. 2724).<br />

This volume includes translated excerpts referring to<br />

the period of reconstruction (10th-11th centuries).<br />

Reconstruction took place on two levels, borrowing<br />

and incastellamento, that is, the buil<strong>di</strong>ng of villages<br />

authorized by the civil authorities.
