What it is
A history of the Saxon people and the Ottonian kings, dedicated to an abbess, and notably reticent about the church for a book written by a monk.
Why it lasted
The founding history of the German kingdom, and a rare medieval work more interested in a people than in a bishopric.
Where to read it
Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.
These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
