TheAnnales Altahenses was an early medieval royalannals compiled in theNiederaltaich Abbey which contains records of the events of almost all years in the period between 708 and 1073.[1]In a tour de force of scholarship,Wilhelm von Giesebrecht published aJahrbücher des Klosters Altaich (1841), reconstructing the lostAnnales Altahenses, of which fragments only were then known to be extant, obscurely included within other chronicles. The brilliance of this performance was shown in 1867, when a copy of the original chronicle was found, and it was seen that Giesebrecht's text was substantially correct.[2]
