5.0 out of 5 stars Medieval Excellence

For students of the Early Middle ages, this text is a translation of the Fourth Book of the Chronicle of Fredegar. The translation exists with the original Latin. The text is heavily annotated, connecting students and researchers to many other supporting documents and scholarly themes and debates about key sections of the text. The introduction encapsulates the historiography of the source, its criticisms, and lays out its the areas where it is most valuable. The text is widely used by period scholars, and now available to both the serious and the curious in English ... or just for those whose Latin isn't that great.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Chronicle of Fredegar
Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2007
The fourth book of the Chronicle of Fredegar continues where the Gregory of Tour's History of the Franks ends. The translator spends most of the introduction discussing the opinions of others in the authorship of the chronicle, which sections were written by who from where, etc however, he fails to talk more than a few pages about the actual content and it's importance in the affairs of the Franks. However, I am a student of Latin and found that his extensive discussion of the corruptions in Fredegar's Latin were fascinating (the absorption of the fifth declension into the 2nd etc..)

The actual chronicle is a fascinating piece of work and the four stars only goes to the translator's introduction. This is the only real source we have between approximately 584-642. The continuation of Fredegar's chronicle is by another author who paraphrased the Neustrian Liber Historiae Francorum and then continued in an original manner until 768. The first three books, not in this translation, are simply paraphrases with a few new stories (which the translator points out) of works by Isidore, Gregory of Tours, etc... The Chronicle seems to flesh out certain years while leaving others devoid of information but the information it does give is vital to the understanding of this period.
