Everything about Timothy Reuter totally explained
Timothy Reuter (
January 25 1947 –
October 14 2002), grandson of the former mayor of Berlin
Ernst Reuter, was a
British historian who specialized in the study of medieval Germany, particularly the social, military and ecclesiastical institutions of the
Ottonian and
Salian periods (10th-12th centuries). Reuter received his D.phil from Oxford in medieval history under the supervision of
Karl Leyser (d. 1992), another leading Anglophone scholar of German history. After a brief stint lecturing at the
University of Exeter, Reuter spent more than a decade as a
Mitarbeiter (academic staff member) at the
Monumenta Germaniae Historica in Munich, where he worked on editing the letters of the twelfth-century abbot
Wibald of Corvey and (with Dr. Gabriel Silagi) produced an important electronic database that served as the basis for a
concordance to the work of the medieval canonist
Gratian.
In 1994, Reuter was appointed to a professorship at the
University of Southampton, where he remained until his death in 2002. At Southampton, he spearheaded a number of educational and research initiatives that promoted medieval history and scholarship.
In addition to his careful and insightful research, pioneering work on computer-assisted text editing methods and professional contributions to the historical academy in the UK and Germany, Reuter served as an important liaison between the worlds of Anglo-American and German medieval studies. Among his important contributions in this area were numerous book reviews in German and British publications, a highly-regarded translation of
Gerd Tellenbach's monograph on the history of the church in the High Middle Ages (
The Church in Western Europe from the tenth to the early twelfth century, Cambridge, 1993) and the posthumous editing and publishing of his mentor Karl Leyser's papers (
Communications and Power in Medieval Europe, 2 vols., Hambledon & London, 1992). His own monograph,
Germany in the Early Middle Ages, 800-1056 (Harlow, Essex & New York, 1991) remains the standard English-language survey of the subject.
At the time of his death, he was working on a history of the medieval episcopacy.
