Шаблон:Italic title The Austrasian Letters (Шаблон:Lang-la) is a collection of 48 Latin letters sent from or to Austrasia between the 470s and 590s. The collection is transmitted in a single 9th-century manuscript from the Abbey of Lorsch.Шаблон:Sfn

The collection was probably assembled in Metz in the late 6th century.Шаблон:Sfn It has been attributed to Bishop Magneric of Trier, who was a counsellor of King Childebert II in the 580s.Шаблон:Sfn It is generally thought that the compilation was made for the use of the Austrasian chancery. Recently, however, it has been argued that the compilation was only brought together in the early 9th century at Lorsch.Шаблон:Sfn

The letters give insight into the workings of Frankish diplomacy and life at the Austrasian court. The letters give insights into the literacy of the kings' inner circle, along with snippets of information not supplied by other sources of the period. They provide more contemporary evidence for the reign of Clovis I than any other source. The letters are particularly useful in illuminating the complex diplomatic relations between Austrasia and the Byzantine Empire.Шаблон:Sfn A majority of the letters concern this relationship.Шаблон:Sfn
