Description
This is the translation of an extraordinary and enigmatic narrative of Carolingian history, which should interest historians of politics, religion and literature in equal measure. Radbertus' 'Epitaph for Arsenius' is both a personal and a political text, written with twenty years of hindsight, by an author is also an actor in his own work. -- .
