Translation by Rev. James Ingram

                                
Originally compiled on the orders of King Alfred the Great,
approximately A.D. 890, and subsequently maintained and added to by
generations of anonymous scribes until the middle of the 12th Century.
The original language is Anglo-Saxon (Old English), but later entries
are essentially Middle English in tone. 

Translation by Rev. James Ingram (London, 1823), with additional readings from the translation of Dr. J.A. Giles (London, 1847).
