Rudolf Koepke and Ernst Duemmler, Jahrbücher der deutschen Geschichte: Kaiser Otto der Grosse (1876; 2nd ed. 1962), a description of the actual events in chronological order and the people involved; Gerd Tellenbach, “Otto der Grosse, 912–973,” in Die grossen Deutschen, new ed., vol. 1, pp. 35–51 (1956), a short character sketch; Hermann Aubin, Otto der Grosse und die Erneuerung des abendländischen Kaisertums im Jahre 962 (1962); and Helmut Beumann and Heinrich Buettner, Das Kaisertum Ottos des Grossen (1963)—all assess the historical significance of the renewal of the empire. Very little has been published on Otto I in English. John J. Gallagher, Church and State in Germany Under Otto the Great (1938); and chapters by C.W. Previte-Orton and A.L. Poole in The Cambridge Medieval History, vol. 3 (1964), are of interest.
