In this thread, the name "Illig" has been mentioned a few times. Here is some information about his book(s) on the subject:
Heribert Illig : "Wer hat an der Uhr gedreht ?" (Wie 300 Jahre Mittelalter erfunden wurden) ISBN 3-612-26561-X, ECON Verlag This book is in German language, I have not seen a translation. Illig has also written an earlier book, called "Das erfundene Mittelalter". Its very first edition was called "Karl der Fiktive, genannt Karl der Große". Historic articles appeared also in publications such as "Vorzeit-Frühzeit-Gegenwart" and "Zeitensprünge" Keep up this discussion, I am enjoying it. Arnold F.
