This volume, first published in 1939 (2nd ed., 1956), contains the
original Old English texts, with translations and commentaries, of
over 130 documents dating from the ninth, tenth and eleventh
centuries. It includes royal and 'private' (nonroyal) charters,
some episcopal leases, a few wills, and several records generated
by processes of litigation; it also includes a number of
miscellaneous texts, such as inventories and estate surveys. The
reissue of Dr Robertson's book is complemented by reissues of
Florence Harmer's Select English Historical Documents of the Ninth
and Tenth Centuries (1914), and of Dorothy Whitelock's Anglo-Saxon
Wills (1930). Between them, the three volumes represent the
surviving corpus of Anglo-Saxon documents in the vernacular, to set
beside the corpus of royal diplomas (in Latin) and writs (in
English), and the corpus of Anglo-Saxon legislation, and to serve
at the same time as evidence of the uses of written English in the
Anglo-Saxon period.
