Viking Normandy

Dudo of St. Quentin's Gesta Normannorum

An English Translation

Editor: Felice Lifshitz

A. INTRODUCTION

B. THE TRANSCRIPTION

The chapter divisions follow the Fécamp (Berlin) manuscript, whose foliations are given in lieu of page numbers. Chapter files have been numbered and named by the transcriber/translator in a Latin-English pair to permit ordered mounting and reading on ORB. The content descriptions which follow below were also devised by the transcriber/translator. The chapters marked with an asterisk (*) have been cast in the translation as detailed reflections of the Latin text, in order to give a greater feeling for the "original" to those who will not read the Latin transcriptions. The chapters marked with two asterices (**) are almost exact reflections of the Latin text, but include some concessions to modern English punctuation, etc. The unmarked chapters have been even more thoroughly "Englished" and "modernized."
