A bust of Charlemagne from the first
half of the 14th century
Limited Edition Karl der
Grosse
Once again, Montblanc pays tribute to a
historical figure
who has made a unique contribution to culture and the
Charlemagne being crowned emperor in
800 AD
With the Limited Edition Karl der Grosse,
Montblanc is honouring a great king and the founder of the
Carolingian renaissance.
A far-sighted ruler, Charlemagne actively cultivated
contacts with the great minds of his day - scholars,
architects and artists - who helped him develop his imperial
palaces into the cultural and artistic centres of his empire.
The palace schools he founded were renowned and
became the source of an early form of standard grammar
and of the famous Carolingian minuscule, the forerunner of
all western writing systems. His contribution to the renewal
of the western world makes him one of the great figures of
history.
The piston fountain pen is a tribute to
the achievements
and personality of Charlemagne. A fine sterling body
elements, which can be seen in the coronation
cathedral in
Aachen. The cap itself is crowned with an ivory-coloured
PEN
IS NEW
The
pen is new and never been used, neither dipped nor inked. Comes with
original box and papers.
