Why this is in the register
HOLLIS 'Hincmar ordine palatii translation English' returns nothing, while 'Hincmar ordine palatii' returns thirteen records: Latin editions of 1824, 1894 (three copies of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, Fontes iuris Germanici antiqui text), 1897, and the 1884 Bibliotheque de l'Ecole des hautes etudes volume 58, which prints the Latin with a French rendering. The remaining hits are an eighteenth-century German dissertation on the office of seneschal and studies of Carolingian government. No English version appears in any of these records, and no English translation is listed in the standard sourcebook series. The text is also printed within Migne, Patrologia Latina 125, whose OCR contains its closing chapter ('hec de ordine palatii et dispositione regni').
Written for the young king Carloman, this short treatise is the only Carolingian description of how a royal court actually worked, and it is a fixture of every history of Frankish government. English-reading historians quote it in translation second-hand, usually from German or French scholarship, which is why a modern English text would change how the palace is taught.
