Научной литературы о франках, Каролингах и народах трех континентов, которые имели отношения с ними, предостаточно. Мы выбрали лишь часть материалов, использованных при написании этой книги. Здесь перечислены все книги, упомянутые в примечаниях и основные источники VIII–IX веков, доступные в переводе. Преимущественно перечислены книги на английском, но бо́льшая часть научной литературы о Каролингах написана на французском, немецком и итальянском языках. Эти книги мы тоже упомянули.

Мы хотели рассказать увлекательную историю о весьма понятном мире средневековой Европы. Но все истории неполны, каждая произрастает из других историй прошлого, ведет к историям будущего и всегда происходит в сложном, огромном мире, где масса людей творит свою историю. Предстоит еще многое узнать, многое изучить, и мы надеемся, что вы, наш читатель, воспримете этот список литературы как приглашение к более содержательному разговору. Мы надеемся, что вам захочется больше узнать о периоде, столь же человечном, как и наш собственный.

Наши коллеги и авторы средневековых трудов позволяют нам услышать голоса прошлого. Эти голоса рассказывают нам об империи, о чуде явления слона в германских землях и о триумфах франков, смело расширявших свои границы. Но те же труды, пусть и неохотно, раскрывают ложь, на которую опиралась империя. А когда эта ложь вскрывалась, авторы с ужасом наблюдали, как брат шел войной на брата и на полях сражений пировали стервятники и волки.
