Berowulf

[2] He had a close relationship with Charlemagne (reigned 768–814), who charged him with the evangelisation of the Slavs in the upper Main region.

[1] The first two bishops of that see, Hathumar and Badurad, were sent to Würzburg Cathedral to be educated at the school Berowulf had established.

[2] He also grew the scriptorium, and the first catalogue of books in the cathedral library dates from his episcopate.

A later addition, in a German hand, notes five books which had been lent to Holzkirchen and Fulda Abbey.

[3] It was compiled after 787—since the manuscript fly-leaf contains a copy in the same hand of Charlemagne's letter De litteris colendis of that year—but probably before 800.
