We consider the first (1138) of the three charters of Bishop Nicholas I of Cambrai as the authentic charter of foundation of the abbey, containing the deed of donation of Gerard I of Ninove. The second charter of 1139 is of doubtful authenticity. The episcopal charter of 1165, which contains a detailed list of goods of be situated within the conflict between the abbey and Gerard II of Grimbergen. The abbey used the falsified charter of 1139, presumably made between 1144 and 1147, in order to avoid the conflict. With the charter of 1165 the abbey wanted - via the authority of bishop Nicholas II - to resolve the conflict one and for all. The three charter of the Counts of Flanders were issued in a very short span (between 1166-1167) at the height of the conflict. They deal with the Ninove Abbey's right of the advocatia, which was originally by hereditary right connected to the dominium of the Lords of Ninove. In his charter of 1163/1166 Count Philip of Alsace claimed this right. The 1142 charter of his father Thierry, in which Gerard I of Ninove donates the advocatia to the Count, has been drawn and issued but in 1166-1167 in the Ninove Abbaye. This is a logical link between Count Philip's two charters concerning the advocatia. In the 1167 charter of the Count the conflict is definitely resolved: Gerard II of Grimbergen is forced to accept the Count's prerogatives concerning the advocatia of the abbey. A the same time we have drawn a picture of the broader context of the Count's appearance and we have proved that Philip of Alsace - with his intervention in the Ninove conflict - introduced a new kind of politics in relation to the organisation of the central authority of the Count in the county of Flanders in general and in the Land of Aalst in particular. The charters issued in the period between 1

The martyrologium demonstrates that not one, but several text traditions of the martyrologium of Usuardus circulated within the Order of Premontre and, unique to this codex, there is a text containing the form of prayer for entry into the fraternitas. An analogous text is found in the Arnstein Chapter Book. Further is the charter drawn up by abbot Radulfus, indicating that the 'pittance' at Ninove was a separate institution from 1219 on. Of exceptional interest is the series of three successive necrologia, which give a written record - from the twelfth to the eighteenth century - of the names of the persons to be commemorated, thereby enabling the development of the necrologia to be traced in d...

Il compare entre elles differentes versions disponibles de ces regles. Dans un deuxieme temps, il recherche pourquoi le superieur des Premontres etait appele abbe et son second prevot. Il y voit une synthese entre la tradition germanique et la tradition francaise. Enfin il traite du statut des freres convers dans ces communautes.
