TheConversio Bagoariorum et Carantanorum ("The Conversion of the Bavarians and the Carantanians") is a Latin history written inSalzburg in the 870s. It describes the life and career of Salzburg's founding saintRupert (d. 710), notably his missionary work in Bavaria, and the activities of the bishops and abbots in theArchdiocese of Salzburg. It concludes with a brief history ofCarantania.
The work may have been written byAdalwin himself, the then resident Archbishop of Salzburg. It was intended to giveLouis the German a particular historical perspective on a recent collision between the missionary work conducted from Salzburg and that pursued by the brothersCyril and Methodius, who preached the new religion among theSlavic people ofGreat Moravia andPannonia.
