Ekkehard's work describes one hundred years of the history of the monastery of St. Gallen, the most important cultural center of the Frankish state and the Holy Roman Empire, from about 850-860s to 972. What distinguishes the Histories from other monastic chronicles is its attention to the everyday life of the monks. Ekkehard also included biographies of the most prominent inhabitants of the monastery, who brought it literary and artistic fame - Notker Zaika, Ratpert, Tuotilon and many others. The pictures of monastic life are set against the backdrop of the political storms and enemy invasions that marked that era.
