Codex Epistolaris Carolinus: Letters from the Popes to the Frankish Rulers, 739-791 McKitterick Rosamond
The Codex epistolaris Carolinus preserves ninety-nine letters, dated between 739 and 791 and sent by the popes to the Frankish king Charlemagne and his predecessors. The headings or lemmata provided for each letter by the Frankish compilers in 791 and faithfully preserved in the codex, add a distinctive Frankish commentary on events in Rome and Italy in the second half of the eighth century. The compilation was commissioned by Charlemagne in 791, but the sole surviving medieval manuscript of the letters was made atCologne in the later ninth century and is now in Vienna (�sterreichische Nationalbibliothek Cod. 449).
A substantial This book not only provides the first full English translation of the letters and lemmata in the Codex epistolaris Carolinus but also re-creates the original Carolingian order of presentation of the letters according to the manuscript.
