Eighth volume in the collaborative edition - early 12C Canterbury
manuscript. The introduction details other work by the same hand
and his role in re-shaping Anglo-Saxon history. This edition
presents a bilingual (Old English and Latin) version of the
Anglo-Saxon Chronicle written by a monk of Christ Church,
Canterbury, probably in the first decade of the twelfth century.
Though the Old English andLatin texts have been printed separately,
this is the first edition to present the text intended by its
compiler, who also produced the Latin translation and wrote the
single extant manuscript. The introduction demonstrates that same
monk who was responsible for this bilingual chronicle also revised
MS A (the Parker Chronicle) and an ancestor of MS E (the
Peterborough Chronicle) and was a forger of documents: he thus is
significant as an early Norman reviser of Anglo-Saxon history.
PETER BAKER is Professor of English, University of Virginia.
