a domain of his church; and he continued from 861 the Annales Bertiniani, of which the first part was written by Prudentius, bishop of Troyes, the best source for the history of Charles the Bald. He also wrote a great number of letters, some of which are extant, and others embodied in the chronicles of Flodoard. Hincmar's works, which are the principal source for the history of his life, were collected by Jacques Sirmond (Paris, 1645), and reprinted by Migne, Patrol. Latina, vol. cxxv and cxxvi. See also Carl von Noorden, Hinkmar, Erzbischof von Reims (Bonn, 1863), and, especially, Heinrich Schrörs', Hinkmar, Erzbischof von Reims (Freiburg im Breisgau, 1884). For Hincmar's political and ecclesiastical theories see preface to Maurice Prou's edition of the De ordine palatii (Paris, 1885), and the abbé Émile Lesne, La hiérarchie épiscopale en Gaule et en Germanie (Paris, 1905). Hincmar may be the author of the anonymous Gesta Dagoberti, a biography of Dagobert I written in the early 830s. In one of his letters Hincmar recommended that a copy of Gregory the Great's work called Pastoral Care should be given together with the Book of Canons into the hands of bishops before the altar at their consecration (Schaff). Veneration Hincmar is venerated in Catholic Church: 21 December – main date, (death anniversary), 5 March – commemoration in Benedictine Order calendar.
