Abstract

The worship and office of saint Charlemagne in the diocese of Girona was established in 1345 by bishop Arnau de Mont-rodon after the celebrations in the cathedral of Aachen, just in the period of organization and spreading of this cult in the european churches who held Charlemagne as their founder. At Girona, together with the singular translation of the feast into 19th january, a little own corpus of texts referred to Charlemagne was generated; the nine lessons for the office of Matins, briefly included in the ancient breviaries of Girona, were made up after some of these pieces. the whole corpus is here recupered, edited and contextualised; one of the texts is the co-called De captione Greundae, accompained by a curious Vita Karoli.
