Beschreibung
The ninth century Frankish scholar Einhard was a dedicated servant of the Emperor Charlemagne and his son Louis the Pious. Einhard’s principle work is a biography of Charlemagne, the ‘Vita Karoli Magni’, regarded by many as one of the most precious literary bequests of the early Middle Ages. Historians have traditionally described it as the first example of a biography of a European king. Delphi’s Medieval Library provides eReaders with precious works of the Middle Ages, with noted English translations and the original texts. This eBook presents Einhard’s collected works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
