Jerrilynn D. Dodds
Recent excavations have revealed that the early church of Psalmodi possessed a single nave both in its first and second campaigns. Combined with transept three apses discovered previously, this provides an intriguing clue for association documents pertaining to abbey's past. In particular, "A" can be associated monastery built at by Corbilla 783, only year after Benedict's Aniane. Indeed, recent study reveals new plan Carolingian Aniane, one which possesses, like Psalmodi, nave, apses. These discoveries allow us see context reform end 8th beginning 9th centuries, perhaps under direct influence Aniane itself.
