Kassel conversations

Kassel conversations, or Kasseler Gespräche, is the conventional name for an early medieval text preserved in a manuscript dating from around 810. Held by the University Library of Kassel, it includes a Latin instructional theological text and the Kassel glosses, Latin words and short phrases translated into Old High German. The glosses may have helped Romance-language speakers learn Old High German. The parchment manuscript was probably written by two scribes from the Regensburg area.
