Synopsis

Two of the Saxon Chronicles Parallel, Vol. 1 presents a thoroughly revised text of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle alongside supplementary extracts, with introduced notes, appendices, and a comprehensive glossary.

This edition aims to reproduce the manuscripts as closely as possible, pairing parallel texts with a robust linguistic toolkit for study and reference.

This volume stands on its own, providing the text, critical apparatus, and linguistic groundwork readers need to compare sources and understand variations across manuscripts. It lays out how the material is organized, explains editorial choices, and offers guidance on using the glossary to interpret Anglo-Saxon vocabulary and syntax.

• Parallel primary texts from key manuscripts
• Detailed notes and appendices explaining sources, readings, and conventions
• A comprehensive glossary that covers words and forms across the two main texts
• Management of punctuation, spelling variants, and introductory material to aid study

Ideal for readers of medieval history and philology who want direct access to primary material with scholarly navigation tools.
