Pope Zachary ( la, Zacharias; 679 – March 752) was the bishop of Rome from 28 November 741 to his death. He was the last pope of the Byzantine Papacy. Zachary built the original church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, forbade the traffic of slaves in Rome, negotiated peace with the Lombards, and sanctioned Pepin the Short's usurpation of the Frankish throne from Childeric III. Zachary is regarded as a capable administrator and a skillful and subtle diplomat in a dangerous time. Early career Zachary was born into a family of Greek origin, in the Calabrian town of Santa Severina. He was most probably a deacon of the Roman Church and as such signed the decrees of the Roman council of 732. He was selected to succeed Gregory III as pope on 3 December or 5 December 741.

Godwald Von Henneberg
Gozbald, in Latin ''Gozbaldus'' or ''Gauzbaldus'' (died 20 September 855), was the abbot of Niederaltaich from 825, and the bishop of Würzburg from 842, until his death.

Humbert (bishop Of Würzburg)
Humbert or Hunbert (died 9 March 842) was the bishop of Würzburg from 833 until his death. Although he was resident in Würzburg from 815, Humbert seems to have been a suffragan bishop of the archdiocese of Mainz without a see of his own before he was appointed to succeed Wolfgar at Würzburg in 833. Humbert was a friend and correspondent of Hraban Maur, whose biblical commentaries he greatly admired. He sent a large supply of parchment to Fulda Abbey to have copies made of some of Hraban's books for his cathedral's library. He also acquired biblical manuscripts and some commentaries by Bede Bede ( ; ang, Bǣda , ; 672/326 May 735), also known as Saint Bede, The Venerable Bede, and Bede the Venerable ( la, Beda Venerabilis), was an English monk at the monastery of St Peter and its companion monastery of St Paul in the Kingdom o ....

Wolfgar (bishop Of Würzburg)
Wolfgar or Wolfger was the bishop of Würzburg from 809/10 until his death in 831/2. He succeeded the obscure bishop Egilwart (803–09/10). Wolfgar was on good terms with the Emperor Louis the Pious. During his episcopate, Würzburg increased its properties and over twenty surviving manuscripts were produced in its scriptorium. This time was a transitional period in the history of the cathedral library, whose output is known collectively as the '' Libri sancti Kyliani'', in which insular script and the local variant of Caroline minuscule first appear. Pastoral books, liturgies and the Old Testament dominated the scriptorium's output, and a work of canon law Canon law (from grc, κανών, , a 'straight measuring rod, ruler') is a set of ordinances and regulations made by ecclesiastical authority (church leadership) for the government of a Christian organization or church and its members.

Liuttrit
Berowulf or Berowelf (died 26 September 800) was the bishop of Würzburg from 768 or 769 until his death. Since the 11th century, his name has appeared as ''Bernwelf''. It may also be spelled ''Berowolf'', ''Bernwulf'' or ''Bernulf''. Berowulf's predecessor, Megingoz, retired in 768. The first reference to Berowulf as bishop comes from April 769. Prior to his election he was a monk from the local monastery of Sankt Andreas. As bishop, he introduced the rule of Chrodegang to replace that of Boniface. He had a close relationship with Charlemagne (reigned 768–814), who charged him with the evangelisation of the Slavs in the upper Main region. In 779 he was commissioned to establish a new missionary diocese, the bishopric of Paderborn, in the east. The first two bishops of that see, Hathumar and Badurad, were sent to Würzburg Cathedral to be educated at the school Berowulf had established. He also grew the scriptorium, and the first catalogue of books in the cathedral library da ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Megingoz Of Würzburg
Megingoz (or Megingod, Megingaud, Megingold, Mengold) was the second bishop of Würzburg from 753 until his retirement in 768. Three manuscripts emanating from the scriptorium of Würzburg can be dated to his episcopate. At that time, Würzburg was still part of the circle of German monasteries founded by Saint Boniface. His successor was Berowulf, who brought the diocese into closer relations with the ruling Carolingian dynasty. Megingoz and Boniface's successor, Lullus, Archbishop of Mainz, together commissioned Willibald to write the ''Vita Bonifatii'' ("Life of Boniface"), the earliest biography of the missionary bishop. Willibald claims in his preface to have relied in part on Megingoz's firsthand testimony. Boniface's mentions a deacon named Megingoz in a letter of 737/738 concerning the abbey of Fritzlar, where Megingoz was probably a monk. Megingoz was also a witness, along with Lullus, of the founding of the abbey of Fulda. Three letters of Megingoz to Lullus survive. The ...

Annales Altahenses
The ''Annales Altahenses'' was an early medieval royal annals compiled in the Niederaltaich Abbey which contains records of the events of almost all years in the period between 708 and 1073. In a tour de force of scholarship, Wilhelm von Giesebrecht Friedrich Wilhelm von Giesebrecht (5 March 1814 – 17 December 1889) was a German historian. He was born in Berlin, the son of Karl Giesebrecht (died 1832), and a nephew of the poet Ludwig Giesebrecht (1792–1873). He studied under Leopold v ... published a ''Jahrbücher des Klosters Altaich'' (1841), reconstructing the lost ''Annales Altahenses'', of which fragments only were then known to be extant, obscurely included within other chronicles. The brilliance of this performance was shown in 1867, when a copy of the original chronicle was found, and it was seen that Giesebrecht's text was substantially correct.''Encyclopædia Britannica'' 1911, ''s,v,'' "Giesebrecht, Wilhelm von".
