Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Theodulf of Orléans (Saragossa, Spain, c. 750(/60) – 18 December 821[disputed – discuss]) was a writer, poet and the Bishop of Orléans (c. 798 to 818) during the reign of Charlemagne and Louis the Pious. He was a key member of the Carolingian Renaissance and an important figure during the many reforms of the church under Charlemagne, as well as almost certainly the author of the Libri Carolini,[1] "much the fullest statement of the Western attitude to representational art that has been left to us by the Middle Ages".[2] He is mainly remembered for this and the survival of the private oratory or chapel made for his villa at Germigny-des-Prés, with a mosaic probably from about 806.[3] In Bible manuscripts produced under his influence, the Book of Baruch and the Letter of Jeremiah (as Chapter 6 of the Book of Baruch) became part of the Western (Vulgate) Bible canon.
