This book presents a new and accessible translation of a well-known
yet enigmatic text: the 'Epitaph for Arsenius' by the monk and
scholar Paschasius Radbertus (Radbert) of Corbie. This monastic
dialogue, with the author in the role of narrator, plunges the
reader directly into the turmoil of ninth-century religion and
politics. 'Arsenius' was the nickname of Wala, a member of the
Carolingian family who in the 830s became involved in the
rebellions against Louis the Pious. Exiled from the court,
Wala/Arsenius died in Italy in 836. Casting both Wala and himself
in the role of the prophet Jeremiah, Radbert chose the medium of
the epitaph (funeral oration) to deliver a polemical attack, not
just on Wala's enemies, but also on his own. -- .
