The Lorsch Annals comprises the eight surviving leaves of a chronological record of events from 794 to 803 in the Frankish kingdom and then the empire under Charlemagne. The original text of the annals was copied in the early years of the ninth century in Alemannia. Added later to blank spaces are Christian liturgical texts with music notation and part of Instructio ad competentes by the Saint Nicetas, a fourth-century bishop of Remesiana. A poem in Old High German on Christ and the woman from Samaria was added in the mid-tenth century, probably at Reichenau.
