Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiae pontificum (1075 - 1076) Adam of Bremen |
| Quotation |
Et quamvis alii scriptorum vel Gallum in Alemannia vel Hemmerannum in Baioaria sive Kylianum in
Francia seu certe Willebrordum in Fresia priores verbum Dei asserant predicasse, hic tamen omnes
alios, uti Paulus apostolus, studio ac predicationis labore antevenit.
Ipse enim, ut in Gestis suis legitur, apostolicae sedis auctoritate fultus legationem ad gentes suscepit
Teutonumque populos, apud quos nunc et summa imperii Romani et divini cultus reverentia viget ac
floret, ecclesiis, doctrina virtutibusque illustravit.
Quorum etiam provincias in episcopatus distribuens seorsum Francos cis Rhenum, Hessones ac
Thuringos, qui Saxonum confines sunt, primitivo quodam laboris sui fructu Christo et ecclesiae
copulavit. |
| Translation |
And although other writers assert that either Gall in Alemannia, or Emmeram in Bavaria, or Kilian in Francia, or certainly Willibrord in Frisia had preached the Word of God earlier, he, like Paul the Apostle, nevertheless excelled all other in the zeal and assiduity of his preaching. For, as we read in his Gesta, with the support of the authority of the Apostolic See, he undertook a mission to the pagans and made the German peoples, among whom there now flourishes vigorously the greatest reverence for both the Roman Empire and the worship of God, renowned for their churches, their knowledge of the divine, and their virtues. He also organized their provinces as dioceses, namely those of the Franks on this side of the Rhine and those of the Hessians and Thuringians, who are the neighbours of the Saxons, uniting them with Christ and the Church as the first fruits of his labor, so to speak.
