EINHARDI VITA KAROLI MAGNI
Walafridi Prologus
Gloriosissimi imperatoris Karoli vitam et gesta, quae subiecta sunt, Einhartus, vir inter omnes huius temporis palatinos non solum pro scientia, verum et pro universa morum honestate laudis egregiae, descripsisse cognoscitur et purissimae veritatis, utpote qui his pene omnibus interfuerit, testimonio roborasse. Natus enim in orientali Francia in pago qui dicitur Moingewi, in Fuldensi cenobio sub pedagogio sancti Bonifacii martiris prima puerilis nutriturae rudimenta suscepit. Indeque pocius propter singularitatem capacitatis et intelligentiae, quam ob nobilitatis, quod in eo minus erat insigne, a Baugolfo abbate monasterii supradicti in palacium Karoli translatus est; quippe qui omnium regum avidissimus erat sapientes diligenter inquirere et, ut cum omni delectatione philosopharentur, excolere. Ideo regni a Deo sibi commissi nebulosam et ut ita dicam pene cecam latitudinem totius scientiae nova irradiatione et huic barbariei ante partim incognita luminosam reddidit, Deo illustrante. Nunc vero, relabentibus in contraria studiis, lumen sapientiae, quod minus diligitur, rarescit in plurimis.

Sinopse
Einhard's 'Life of Charlemagne' is an absorbing chronicle of one of the most powerful and dynamic of all medieval rulers, written by a close friend and adviser. In elegant prose it describes Charlemagne's personal life, details his achievements in reviving learning and the arts, recounts his military successes, and depicts one of the defining moments in European history: Charlemagne's coronation as emperor in Rome on Christmas Day By contrast, Notker's account, written some decades after Charlemagne's death, is a collection of anecdotes rather than a presentation of historical facts. In these stories, which merge into fiction, Charlemagne is already half way to becoming the legendary figure of later medieval epics.
