The forward perhaps appeared promising because of how Stoddard was popular at the time, but the analysis seems trite and cliched, especially the stereotyped idea of 300 plus years of Merovingian rule as lasciviously Roman and decadent compared to the more chaste and farsighted Mayor domos. Perhaps lifted directly from superficial historians such as Gibbon. Merovingian France is the genesis of Medieval culture, the marriage of Roman and Nordic elements, like it or not.
And yes, the photocopying was not quite in the tradition of Cistercian scriptoriums.
