This article examines the office of advocate at the abbey of Saint‐Martin of Tours. It studies what was regionally distinctive about its emergence there in the late ninth century and suggests a reason for the office’s demise in the early tenth century. In doing so, it draws out the important discursive shifts which were part and parcel of both the setting‐up and the fading‐away of Carolingian ‘reform’, suggesting that the changes seen in the advocatial office were ones of mentality first and of administrative change only secondarily.

治理，地方性和法律文化：图尔圣马丁的加洛林主义者的兴衰

本文考察了图尔圣马丁修道院的倡导者办公室。它研究了该地区在九世纪末期出现的地方特色，并提出了该办公室在十世纪初消亡的原因。通过这样做，它得出了重要的话语转换，这是加洛林式“改革”的建立和衰落的重要组成部分，这表明在代言办公室看到的变化首先是心态和行政上的变化。仅次要更改。
