	Review Paper: Ottonian Germany: The Chronicon of Thietmar of Merseburg
		Thietmar made a point of mentioning that the conspirators had solicited Henry II's aid (he was then Duke of Bavaria), but he had refused to join, having been loyal up to that point and having recalled his father's admonition never to oppose his king and lord (4.20).
		As Professor Arnold rightly notes, Thietmar was an acute observer of imperial politics, of Saxon society, and of the spiritual and political life of the Reichskirche.
		One of the chief tasks facing the modern reader of Thietmar's Chronicon is to assess the degree to which those opinions, antipathies, and agendas influenced his interpretation of events, and especially his criteria of inclusion or exclusion.

	Review Paper: Ottonian Germany: The Chronicon of Thietmar of Merseburg
		Thietmar was also a keen commentator on Saxon society, especially in its rather violent confrontation with Slav neighbouring tribes, a process in which he was personally involved as a Saxon aristocrat and as a bishop of Merseburg.
		Thietmar himself exemplified the model of a young nobleman trained for those ecclesiastical careers which were so powerful in local and imperial politics; in many ways the bishops and richer abbots were the mainstay of imperial rule in Germany at this time.
		Thietmar was perceptive about the growing religious sensibilities of his time, which would culminate in the Age of Reform (1046-1216) and in the new religious orders.

		The most detailed sources are the histories or chronicles, the principal of which are those by Thietmar of Merseburg, Adam of Bremen, Helmhold of Bosau, and Saxo Grammaticus.
		In either case, Thietmar discussed the pagan Slavs only insofar as they were enemies of the Empire and of Christ.
		As Thietmar's outlook was basically imperial, Adam's was that of his own arch-diocese.

		He was a Saxon, son of Count Sigefrid of Walbeck, and related to the imperial family.
		Naturally this method creates the impression that Thietmar did not fully master his subject; his judgment and opinions are narrow, and his style is dry.
		But he knew and saw much, was a lover of truth, and was devoted to his fatherland.

		Part of the program of Emperor Otto III (983-1002) and Pope Sylvester II (999-1003) known as renovatio imperii Romanorum can be understood in the eschatological sense, as a reform of Church and Empire designed to pilot them over the crucial millennial year.
		It is possible to show how three churchmen, Adso of Montier en Der, Gerbert of Aurillac (Sylvester II) and Thietmar of Merseburg shared a common perception of the import of the eschatological Pauline passage at 2 Thess.
		An inference is that Otto III, Gerbert's pupil, understood it as well, and that he conceived his imperial reign inaugurated in 996 as a preventive against the threatened Pauline discessio which would usher in Antichrist's reign.
