The Capitulary of Manors is a manuscript produced in Germany during the reign of the emperor Charlemagne, sometime between the late eighth and early ninth centuries. The unillustrated book describes estate management and revenue collection and is thus an important record of Charlemagne's rule during the Carolingian administrative reforms. Although the manuscript is well known to scholars of the early Middle Ages, its complex arrangement of topics and themes have eluded an interpretation of logical order. The administrative records are preceded by letters from Pope Leo III (d. 816) to Charlemagne.
