Summary:The Liber epistolarum of Lupus is a selection of now 128 documents (after the removal and loss of one or more internal quires) in an original manuscript, Paris, BnF, latin 2858-I, which was compiled at Ferrières from Lupus?s archives following his death (after June 862) and completed before 866. The letters are a key source for the history of books, libraries, scholarly movement, and currents of learning in mid-ninth-century Carolingian Europe. The new edition provides a much improved Latin text according to the order and plan of the manuscript (with six ?new? proper names), and respects the qualities of Lupus?s art prose and use of cursus. Also included are an extensive historical and philological commentary, accurate English translations of letters, and appendices of related poems, documents, and a prosopography. A revised account of the scribes at work in the manuscript definitively remove it from the ambit of Heiric of Auxerre and suggest that the compilation was the work, rather, of another pupil and friend of Lupus, Eigil, abbot of Prüm (ca. 853?860) and later metropolitan of Sens (866-870)
