Notker Labeo Bücher

The book explores the life of Charlemagne, the first king of the Western Christian Empire, highlighting his role in unifying Christian Europe and reforming the Church in Gaul. It features accounts from his biographer Einhard, known for his accuracy, and Notker the Stammerer, whose tales add a monastic perspective but are deemed less reliable. This edition is based on their early lives of Charlemagne, translated by Arthur James Grant, and includes illustrations of Charlemagne's life and achievements from various artistic interpretations over the centuries.
