Die Namen der Translatio s. Alexandri und Altsächsisches in Fulda

Abstract

[ Abstract : The Translatio s. Alexandri describes the transfer of Alexander’s relics from Rome to Wildeshausen Abbey in 851. The text was written by the Fulda-based monks Rudolf and Meginhard just a few years after the events it describes and has been preserved in a contemporary manuscript, presumably Meginhard’s copy. The text is of key significance for the historiography of Saxony. However, less attention has been paid to date to the Old Saxon names
