The Liber memorialis of Remiremont is a confraternity book from the convent of Remiremont in the Vosges. The unique manuscript is preserved in Rome, in the Biblioteca Angelica, where it is shelved as Manoscritto 10. It is not known when it was taken to Rome.
The importance of the manuscript was first recognised in the 1890s by Adalbert Ebner.[1] Since then, it has been used by many historians as a source for early medieval practices of memory, as well as for the history of the monastery of Remiremont itself.[2]
A partial facsimile-edition was published by the Monumenta Germaniae Historica in 1970.[3]
