METALS, KINGDOMS, AND MONARCHICAL CONCERNS: THE BIBLICAL SUBSTRUCTURE OF NOTKER'S GESTA KAROLI MAGNI.
- Authors
ELLIOTT, PETER
- Abstract
The article discusses the biblical substructure of Notker labeo's Gesta Karoli Magni, analyzing its use of precious metals, monarchial generosity, and scriptural allusions to convey deeper meanings within the text. It argues that Notker employs the biblical image of the fourfold statue from the Book of Daniel as a structuring device, revealing insights into his understanding of Charlemagne's reign and the Frankish empire's place in Christian history.
