Summary

The conclusion summarises the findings of this volume regarding the influence of classical ideas on the writing and performance of gift giving in the central Middle Ages. Based on this, it argues that research into medieval gift giving needs to take account of the influence classical models exercised on medieval conceptions of generosity.
