Description

The Old English original text and Modern English translation are on facing pages (left and right respectively). Some of the original is in Latin: some prefatory material, and the titles of the chapters. These are also translated. The "plain text" version is OCR, with many errors: the Latin and Old English are almost unreadable. Here is one sentence of each, first as in the OCR and then as I have transcribed them from the PDF: LATIN, p.1: yiLLFIUCLS, Imiuilis horvuluh Clirihti, lionornhili ct ainnn- do Arcliirpiscopo Sigcrico pcrprtiiain hot-pitalrni e )>{et Ledcii ne cunuon. IC ÆLFRIC munuc awende þas bóc of Ledenum bócum to Engliscum gereorde, þam mannum to rædenne þe þæt Leden ne cunnon.
