(De Conversione Bagoariorum et Carantanorum)

Pribina (priuvina)

 This disputative work was probably created between years 828-871 in  Salzburg archbishop Adalvin court. Bavarian bishops wrote about Nitra county, consecration of first church in Nitra, Pribina´s exile from Nitra, his baptization, about Pribina and his son´s Pannonian county and theirs activities. Merits of Salzburg´s archbishops  about christianization of Carinthians, Slavonians and Avars are emphasizing. This work condemn activities of byzantian mission in Pannonia and in ancient Slovak territory. Brothers from Solun (Constantinus and Methodius) are taken as itruders in Salzburg´s archbishop´s diocesan territory.
