Synopsis

This book from the late 19th century is a parallel lexicon of two of the earliest surviving Anglo-Saxon chronicles. These records of the early history of England from the 5th to the 11th century, traditionally known as the Parker and Laud manuscripts, differ slightly in their accounts. This book sets the two versions side by side and provides critical annotation to reveal the differences between them. The author also explores their relationship with other existing copies of these chronicles, as well as related historical or literary texts. This meticulously researched book is a valuable resource for scholars of Anglo-Saxon history and language, providing unique insights into the interpretation and transmission of these important texts.
