HOLLIS Primo keyword search 'Gesta abbatum Fontanellensium' (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Gesta%20abbatum%20Fontanellensium&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 returns the Latin-German MGH edition (Hannover, 1886), a Latin record in the MGH database, and a French translation published by the Societe de l'histoire de Normandie (Rouen, 1936), plus German studies. No English translation appears in the results, and the standard series were checked without result. The Latin text is available as a verified dMGH scan of MGH SS rer. Germ. 28, whose contents list the Gesta at the head of the volume (https://www.dmgh.de/mgh_ss_rer_germ_28/index.htm).
The Fontenelle gesta are the earliest monastic gesta abbatum and a remarkable record of abbatial succession, estate management and Viking destruction in the lower Seine; they are also a key witness to the transmission of classical and patristic manuscripts. There is no English translation, so this central document of Carolingian monastic institutional memory is closed to English readers.
