History of the monastery St. Gallen. Eckehard

The work of Ekkehard describes a hundred years from the history of the St. Gallen monastery-the most important cultural center of the state of the Franks and the Holy Roman Empire-from about the 850-860s. Until 972, from other monastery chronicles, “history” distinguishes attention to the everyday life and everyday life of monks. Ekkehard also included the biographies of the most outstanding inhabitants of the monastery, who delivered him literary and artistic fame - Noteir Zaika, Ratpert, Tutepilon and many others. Pictures of monastic life unfold against the backdrop of political storms and enemy invasions that marked the era.
