The Works of Liudprand of Cremona is a collection of historical writings by the 10th-century Italian bishop and writer, Liudprand of Cremona. The book includes three major works:
- Antapodosis (Tit-for-Tat): A satirical and often scathing account of the political events of Liudprand's time, particularly focusing on the conflicts between the Holy Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire.
- Liber de Rebus Gestis Ottonis (A Chronicle of Otto's Reign): A history of the reign of Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor.
- Relatio de Legatione Constantinopolitana (The Embassy to Constantinople): A vivid and often humorous account of Liudprand's diplomatic mission to Constantinople in 968.
These works offer valuable insights into the politics, culture, and society of the 10th century, and are considered important sources for the history of the Holy Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire.
