The '''''Conversio Bagoariorum et Carantanorum''''' ("The Conversion of the Bavarians and the Carantanians") is a Latin history written in [[Salzburg]] in the 870s. It describes the life and career of Salzburg's founding saint [[Rupert of Salzburg|Rupert]] (d. 710), notably his missionary work in Bavaria, and the activities of the bishops and abbots in the [[Archdiocese of Salzburg]]. It concludes with a brief history of [[Carantania]].
The work may have been written by [[Adalwin]] himself, the then resident Archbishop of Salzburg. It was intended to give [[Louis the German]] a particular historical perspective on a recent collision between the missionary work conducted from Salzburg and that pursued by the brothers [[Saints Cyril and Methodius|Cyril and Methodius]], who preached the new religion among the [[Slavic people]] of [[Great Moravia]] and [[Pannonia]]. The 3 manuscripts refer to a church consecrated for [[Pribina]] in his domain called Nitrava.
