Synopsis

Excerpt from History of the Langobards

The History of the Langobards has been translated into German, F rench and Italian, but I was greatly sur prised, when investigating some matters connected with the early history of Venice, in the Marcian library of that city, to find that no English version existed. Mr. Thomas Hodgkin, in Vols. V and VI of Italy and Her Invaders, does indeed make liberal extracts, but the work is one which, from its importance, ought to be presented to English readers entire, hence this transla tion. I have prefixed to it an account of Paul''s life and writings, with a historical and literary estimate of his work, and the translation is accompanied by explanatory notes. Waitz''s text has been used.''
