• Izvleček: eng: The Codex OENB Cvp 473, written at Saint Amand around 870, contains a number of texts on Frankish history: in addition to the Liber Pontificalis, it includes excerpts from the Liber Historiae Francorum, the continuator of Fredegar, the Annales Regni Francorum, a part of Einhard's Vita Karoli, a genealogy of the Carolingians and a catalogue of Frankish kings from Priamus to Louis the Pious. Many of these texts appear in a very specific form, but they have generally been neglected by modern editors or treated merely as variants of the works in question. But the key to understanding the peculiarity of the forms of the different texts collected in the codex lies in seeing them not as variants or derivatives, but as carefully-selected works offering an integrated, and highly specific vision of Frankish history up to the time of Louis the Pious. Although incipits, explicits, and page breaks mark the various texts as distinct sections of the codex, we must work from the assumption that the entire volume was conceived as a whole, and that the idiosyncracies reflected in the individual texts spring from this conception. A peculiarity of this vision is its attempt to reconcile the legitimization of West-Frankish lordship in the reign of Charles the Bald with a Neustro-Burgundian tradition, which can be seen especially clearly in Cvp 473's appropriation of Merovingian history. More precisely, links to other texts produced in the circle of Charles the Bald in order to legitimize his rule in Lotharingia establish a convincing context for the conception of history in Cvp 473.
