Um þessa rafbók

A collection of Old English annals, the original manuscript of ‘The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle’ was created late in the ninth century, during the reign of Alfred the Great. It is the oldest history of a European country in its vernacular, offering a treasure trove of knowledge of the Anglo-Saxon period. Along with Bede’s ‘Ecclesiastical History of the English People’, it provides an insight into the history of the English in the period following Roman rule up until the Norman Conquest, preserving a variety of depictions of Anglo-Saxon life. Delphi’s Medieval Library provides eReaders with rare and precious works of the Middle Ages, with noted English translations and the original texts.
