The latter work transports us into an almost unknown world as Einhard, the cool rationalist, arranges for a relic salesman, a veritable bone seller, to acquire saints\u0026amp;#x2019; relics from Italy for installation into his new church. The reader is taken on an intrigue-filled trip to Rome, where Einhard's men creep into churches at night to steal bones and then spirit them away to Einhard in the north. The relics are received in town after town as if they were the living saints come to cure the infirm. Einhard's descriptions of the sick, the lame, and the blind of northern Europe vividly expose us to a side of medieval life too rarely encountered in other medieval sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations and Maps\u003cbr\u003e  Preface\u003cbr\u003e  An Introduction to Einhard\u003cbr\u003e  Select Bibliography for Students\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eReflections on Einhard\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cblockquote dir='\"ltr\"' style='\"MARGIN-RIGHT:'\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.  Some Reflections on Einhard by His Contemporaries\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/blockquote\u003e \u003cp dir='\"ltr\"' style='\"MARGIN-RIGHT:'\u003eThe Works of Einhard\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cblockquote dir='\"ltr\"' style='\"MARGIN-RIGHT:'\u003e \u003cp dir='\"ltr\"' style='\"MARGIN-RIGHT:'\u003e2.  The Life of Charlemagne\u003cbr\u003e  3.  The Charters\u003cbr\u003e  4.  Art and Architecture\u003cbr\u003e  5.  The translation and Miracles of the Blessed Martyrs, Marcellinus and Peter\u003cbr\u003e  6.  The Collected Letters\u003cbr\u003e  7.  Correspondence with Lupus of Ferrieres, Including 'On the Adoration of the Cross'\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/blockquote\u003e \u003cp dir='\"ltr\"' style='\"MARGIN-RIGHT:'\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52676620222744,"sku":"9781442601123","price":17.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/charlemagnes-courtier-the-complete-einhard-paperback-softback-9781442601123","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
