Arbeo's Emmeram is the earliest surviving Bavarian hagiography and the founding narrative of Regensburg's cult, written in an idiosyncratic, difficult Latin that is itself a major document of 8th-century Bavarian Latinity. English readers lose both the narrative of the wandering bishop's martyrdom and the rare evidence for pre-Carolingian Bavarian literary culture.
