See also:TURPIN (d. c. 800) , See also:archbishop of See also:Reims, was for many years regarded as the author of the legendary Historia de vita Caroli Magni et Rolandi, and appears as one of the twelve peers in a number of the chansons de geste. He is probably identical with Tilpin, archbishop of Reims in the 8th See also:century, who is alluded to by See also:Hincmar, his third successor in the see. According to See also:Flodoard, See also:Charles Martel drove Rigobert, archbishop of Reims, from his See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office and replaced him by a See also:warrior clerk named See also:Milo, afterwards See also:bishop of See also:Trier. The same writer represents Milo as discharging a See also:mission among the Vascones, or See also:Basques, the very See also:people to whom See also:authentic See also:history has ascribed the See also:great disaster which befell the See also:army of See also:Charlemagne at See also:Roncesvalles. It is thus possible that the warlike legends which have gathered around the name of Turpin are due to some confusion of his identity with that of his See also:martial predecessor. Flodoard says that Tilpin was originally a See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger. Witch, and the Romanic, e.g. Fr. moine, Ital. monacho and Span. monje, are from the Lat. monachus, adaptedfrom Gr. µovaXos, one living alone, a solitary; Own, alone)

monk at St See also:Denis, and Hincmar tells how after his See also:appointment to Reims he occupied himself in securing the restoration of the rights and properties of his See also:- CHURCH

church, the revenues and See also:prestige of which had been impaired under Milo's See also:rule. Tilpin was elected archbishop between 752 and 768, probably in 753; he died, if the See also:evidence of a diploma alluded to by See also:Mabillon may be trusted, in 794, although it has been stated that this event took See also:place on the 2nd of See also:September Soo. Hincmar, who composed his See also:epitaph, makes him bishop for over See also:forty years, and from this it is evident that he was elected about 753, and Flodoard says that he died in the forty-seventh See also:year of his archbishopric. Tilpin was See also:present at the See also:Council of See also:Rome in 769, and at the See also:request of Charlemagne See also:Pope See also:Adrian I. sent him the See also:pallium and confirmed the rights of his church.
The Historia Caroli Magni was declared authentic in 1122 by Pope See also:Calixtus 1I. It is, however, entirely legendary, being rather the See also:crystallization of earlier See also:Roland legends than the source of later ones, and its popularity seems to date from the latter See also:part of the 12th century. Gaston See also:Paris, who made a See also:special study of the Historia, considers that the first five chapters were written by a monk of Compostella in the 11th century and the See also:remainder by a monk of See also:Vienne between 1109 and 1119. The popularity of the See also:work is attested by the fact that there are at least five See also:French See also:translations of the Historia dating from the 13th century and one into Latin See also:verse of about the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time. According to See also:August See also:Potthast there are about fifty See also:manuscripts of the See also:story in existence. The Historia was first printed in 1566 at See also:Frankfort; perhaps the best edition is the one edited by F. Castets as Turpini historia Karoli magni et Rotholandi (Paris, 188o). It has been translated many times into French and also into See also:German, Danish and See also:English. The English See also:translation is by T. Rodd and is in the History of Charles the Great and Orlando, ascribed to Turpin (See also:London, 1812). See G. Paris, De pseudo-Turpino (Paris, 1865), and Histoire poetique de Charlemagne, new ed. by P. See also:Meyer (1905) ; and V.
