Sažetak
In a letter to Abbot Hilduin of St Denis, the Frankish liturgist Amalarius of Metz recalled his memories of a voyage to Constantinople. The text now known as Epistula ad Hilduinum Abbatem (c. 824) is a liturgical treatise, and it is in the introductory paragraph that the author briefly, and rather allusively, refers to his short stay in Zadar. However the Epistula, along with the poem written for another abbot, Peter of St Sylvester in Nonantola, is a rare— if not unique—insider’s testimony to Charlemagne’s embassy to Constantinople. The aim of this paper is threefold. It is, in the first place, an attempt at a close reading of the fragment of Amalarius’ treatise as evidence for a particular historical event. Secondly, it aims to offer a ‘thick description’—as far as one can in the early ninth century—to contextualize Amalarius’ short visit to Zadar. Finally, it will address the broader issue of the ecclesiastical position of Zadar between Rome and Constantinople at the time of the treaty.
