Charlemagne and Louis the Pious by Thomas F X Noble

Charlemagne and Louis the Pious by Thomas F X Noble

Translations of ninth-century lives of the emperors Charlemagne (by Einhard and Notker) and his son Louis the Pious (by Ermoldus, Thegan, and the Astronomer). Presented chronologically and contextually, with commentary.

“The new translations of these five lives and their very useful introductions and notes make this work a prodigious achievement and an extremely valuable and most welcome contribution to Carolingian studies”

—Steven Fanning The Historian

“Noble’s book has a very specific thematic focus that makes it especially appealing for use in lower-division classes. . . . Noble has presented us with lucid translations of five important works of secular biography from the Carolingian period, each adorned with learned . . . introductions and up-to-date bibliographies.”

—Scott Bruce The Medieval Review

Thomas F. X. Noble is Professor and Chair, Department of History, at the University of Notre Dame.
