Description
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle is a vital source of historical information about the British Isles during the dark ages. The accounts it contains are essential for understanding the history of England from the Roman period to the Norman Conquest. Unfortunately, much of the original material has been lost, and the surviving versions vary significantly in content and quality. The translation used in this edition is a conflation of readings from multiple versions, primarily based on Rev. James Ingram's 1828 translation. The footnotes are Ingram's own, and have been included for completeness. This edition also features the complete Parker Manuscript, making it a valuable resource for historians and scholars. The book is illustrated throughout with paintings and engravings, adding visual interest to the text. With nine known versions of the Chronicle in existence, this edition provides a unique opportunity to explore the history of the British Isles in a comprehensive and accessible way.
