In a letter to Abbot Werinfridus, Notker of Liège reflects on the significance of historical knowledge and the challenges of preserving it in modern times. He notes the necessity of documenting the life of St. Remaclus, emphasizing that existing accounts fall short of capturing his legacy. Notker acknowledges the encouragement from Werinfridus to enhance the narrative and assures his commitment to this task, recognizing the value of authority and obedience in scholarly endeavors. His intention is to create a more complete record that honors their patron and serves future generations.
