Synopsis

""Two of the Saxon Chronicles, Parallel A.D. 787-1001: With Supplementary Extracts from the Others"" is a historical book written by Charles Plummer and published in 1889. The book is a parallel translation of two of the most important sources of Anglo-Saxon history, namely the ""Anglo-Saxon Chronicle"" and the ""Peterborough Chronicle"". The two chronicles are presented side-by-side, with the original Old English text on one page and a modern English translation on the facing page. The book also includes supplementary extracts from other sources, such as the ""Chronicle of Florence of Worcester"" and the ""Annals of St. Neots"". The chronicles cover the period from the late 8th century to the early 11th century, a time of great political and social change in England. The book provides a valuable insight into the daily life, customs, and beliefs of the Anglo-Saxon people, as well as the political and military events that shaped their history. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of England or the Anglo-Saxon period.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
