Book Description
History of the Lombards, by Paul the Deacon (c. 720-c. 799), is among the most important and oldest accounts of the Germanic nation. The book preserves many ancient myths and popular traditions and draws from sources that are now lost. The history traces the changing fortunes of the Lombards, the last of the migratory Germanic peoples to enter the western part of the old Roman Empire, from their first appearance in the West in the sixth century to the middle of the eighth century. The popularity of Paul the Deacon's book has endured over the centuries and, although there have been numerous translations and editions, this remains the only one in English.

Book Description
The Latin version of the history of the Lombards, to be translated is only the preface and the other parts in Italian it is very short and if you have already done the history of the Lombards by Paolo Diacono you have already practically finished the job. From sales, they often go in pairs, those who buy the Latin version also take the other. Others take only the fully translated one. Translator: Fatima Immacolata Pretta PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Book Description
A historical book, written in Latin by Paolo Diacono in the eighth century after Christ, tells the story of the Lombard people who left Scandinavia to reach Italy and reign there for over two centuries. Today, Milan is the capital of that region which bears the name of Lombardy, the land of the Lombards. The story is interesting even if the conquest Franca takes away the taste of the happy ending. On TV and fantasy there are stories that seem drawn from the events of this people, the life of Grimoaldo, King of the Lombards is worth a novel on its own It starts with the departure from Scandinavia and the legend of the name. Then follows a story of the long march towards Italy. A brief digression on San Benedetto with two unimportant poems, then the arrival of Italy, the description of the peninsula, Alboino, his exploits, Rosmunda and Elmiche who kill Alboino. The ten years of anarchy of the dukes, Autari and Teodolinda Catholic princess of the Bavari, Astolfo, second husband of Teodolinda, Rotari the King of the Edict and the first body of Lombard laws, after Roman law a first example of organic legislation, very important for the future history of legal law. This is followed by Grimoaldo's extraordinary adventure with the escape from captivity, intrigue, the Duchy of Bemevento and the conquest of the throne. Then Grimoaldosc defeats Franks and Byzantines, deceives the Avars .... Then go from king to king until the other human event, that of Liutprando and his family. A compelling and evocative story useful to understand today's Italian divided between north and south. Translator: Fatima Immacolata Pretta PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Book Description
"History of the Langobards," by Paul the Deacon, after having been rendered into German, French, and Italian, has at last found a competent translator and annotator in Dr. William Dudley Foulke, who follows Waitz's text, which is based on a study of 107 manuscripts. Paul Warnefried was one of the chief literati at Charlemagne's Court, and also one of the best known authors of the Middle Ages. He came of a distinguished family, and was born somewhere between 720 and 730. After receiving an excellent education, which included the Greek language, probably at the Court of King Ratchis, he became a monk, in all likelihood at the famous Benedictine Abbey of Monte Cassino, before his journey to France, therefore before 782. Dr. Foulke has done good service to historians by providing them with his learned monograph. The appendices deal with (1) the Ethnological Status of the Langobards; (2) Sources of Paul's "History of the Langobards"; (3) the Poems in honour of St. Benedict. Of the four maps, three are taken from Mr. Hodgkin's "Italy and Her Invaders." -The Westminster Review, Volume 168 The volume in hand contains a complete translation of the Historia Langobardorum, with an introduction on the life and writings of Paul the Deacon, and three appendixes (Ethnological Status of the Langobards, Sources of Paul's History, and Paul the Deacon's Poems in Honor of St. Benedict). Appendix II includes a translation of the Origo Gentis Langobardorum; the poems in appendix III are those inserted by Paul in the text of the history, book I., chapter XXVI. Mr. Foulke's translation is correct, but rather commonplace. It is of course easier to make such a criticism than it is to establish within the limits of a brief review the justice of it, or to show how the fault criticized should be avoided. It does seem, however, that the translator has been content with producing a literal rendering of the Latin, when the search for real English equivalents and for happier turns of expression might have resulted in the production of a translation at once accurate and pleasing. There are a great many foot-notes to the translation. The longer notes (some of them cover four or five pages with only one line of the translation on each page) are very largely made up of paraphrases of the authorities consulted, always, to be sure, with references to the sources from which they are taken.This is true also of the introduction and the first two appendixes- they are mainly paraphrases of the work of the principal authorities on the Lombards and on the writings of Paul the Deacon. The result is that they do not have the tone and the interest of original work. When all is said and done, however, Mr. Foulke has presented an accurate translation (the first one in English) of this important source, and has supplied it with very full "apparatus". This is to render a genuine service to teachers and students of medieval history. -The American Historical Review
