Excerpt from Two of the Saxon Chronicles Parallel With Supplementary Extracts From the Others, Vol. 2
The expansion of contractions is indicated in the usual way by italics. A few contractions have been left unexpanded, partly because of their frequent occurrence, but still more because it was impossible to be sure what was the exact form which the scribe had in his mind. A list of these unexpanded contractions precedes the Glossary.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Hundreds of years before Bede wrote his seminal work, the Anglo-Saxon people had already developed a national chronicle. Based on local records, these were joined together in cohesive texts under the patronage of Alfred the Great and subsequent rulers to form the core of this book. It is a diverse collection of texts and approaches, often demonstrating the tensions and conflicts that shaped the period, and offering remarkable insights into the minds of the chroniclers. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of these texts, examining the different ways in which they were compiled, the narrative techniques used, how they reflect events, and how they have been used by historians. An important and distinctive contribution to the study of Anglo-Saxon history, it will be of great value to academic historians, as well as to students and anyone with a general interest in this period.
