Over the past couple of years, I’ve been putting up draft translations of early medieval texts online. I produced most of them to support my Special Subject on Lothar II and Theutberga’s divorce case, as a supplement to the material in Dutton’s Carolingian Civilization.
Here’s an index (not including very short partial translations/excerpts), in case the translations are useful for you. I’ll update this page as and when I put fresh material online. These aren’t polished pieces of work, so please do let me know if you have comments or suggestions, or spot any errors.
