The monastery of St Maximin in Trier was founded outside the city walls around 700 and endowed by Charles Martell in 723. It was destroyed by the Vikings in 882 but was granted by late Carolingian rulers to their magnates, and was reformed from Gorze in 934. The crypt has important Carolingian frescos. The first library catalogue dates from shortly before 1125, and surviving manuscripts have ownership inscriptions written in the tenth century and later. This study lists the surviving manuscripts and illustrates pages from many of them. They include rare texts such as Filastrius of Brescia on heresies, Fortunatianus and other rhetorical texts, Smaragdus on the Psalms, Augustine, Ambrose, Jerome and Bede. Dr Knoblich discusses their contents, their script and their origins: those not copied in Trier came from Mainz, Tours, St Amand, Metz and Italy. The tenth-century books include works of Haimo as well as works by Augustine
