Abstract. The 7th century was a period of profound transformation across various regions of the world. In Europe, the remnants of the Western Roman Empire were giving way to the emerging powers of the Byzantine Empire in the east and the rise of the Merovingian and Carolingian dynasties in the west. The spread of Christianity throughout Europe brought about significant changes in religious and cultural life, influencing the literary output of the time. The literature of the 7th century, shaped by the spread of Islam, the consolidation of European kingdoms, and the flourishing of classical traditions, offers insights into the emergence of new cultural identities, religious beliefs, and literary forms. From epic poetry to religious texts, the literature of this period explores themes of heroism, faith, and cultural exchange, laying the foundation for subsequent literary traditions and intellectual movements.
