In this thread, the name "Illig" has been mentioned a few times. Here is some information about his book(s) on the subject:
Heribert Illig : "Wer hat an der Uhr gedreht ?" (Wie 300 Jahre Mittelalter erfunden wurden) ISBN 3-612-26561-X, ECON Verlag This book is in German language, I have not seen a translation. Illig has also written an earlier book, called "Das erfundene Mittelalter". Its very first edition was called "Karl der Fiktive, genannt Karl der Gro�e". Historic articles appeared also in publications such as "Vorzeit-Fr�hzeit-Gegenwart" and "Zeitenspr�nge" Keep up this discussion, I am enjoying it. Arnold F.
