Annolied

The (''"Song of Anno"'') is an Early Middle High German poem in praise of Archbishop Anno II of Cologne. Anno died in 1075 and the poem, probably written in the years immediately after his death, can be seen as part of a campaign for his canonisation, which was finally achieved in 1183. The modern title is taken from the heading given to it by Martin Opitz in his edition of the text: ("Song about Saint Anno, Archbishop of Cologne"). Provided by Wikipedia
