Description

Text in German. The poems that arose around Charlemagne are unique testimonies to the communication of scholars such as Alcuin, Theodulf and Paulus Diaconus. In riddle poems, courtyard panoramas, Carmina Figurata and other poems, they argue and puzzle, call each other pet names, make fun of each other, resort to antiquity in competition, become ironic and even bitterly angry - and all this under the gaze of the king. The poems develop a momentum of their own that has not yet been examined in this way. The monograph would like to reopen this source genre with historical and philological methods: through a new translation with a careful commentary and through a holistic explanatory model of the poetic plays about Charlemagne.
