Firstly we state the authenticity and establish the previously unpublished text and translation of the Adnotatio breuis in Danielemof Haimo, monk at Saint-Germain d’Auxerre (mid. IXth cent.). We then show how the fruitful achievements of the Carolingian revival are enlightened by Haimo’s practice of exegesis. As his consistent use of the Theodulfian recension shows, he was deeply concerned in the Bible. Later, he was plundered by the Glossa ordinaria and constantly read until the Humanistic period. As a commentator on the Prophets, he adapts their admonitio to his own time by exalting monastic holiness. The Carolingian reforming movement that was encouraged by the kings thus finally turns against these in the works of Haimo, a forerunner of the X th - XI th cent. monks’ ecclesiology
