What it is
A history of one great see built directly out of its archive, with hundreds of letters and charters summarised or quoted from documents now lost.
Why it lasted
An early example of history written from records rather than from memory, and the sole surviving witness to much Carolingian correspondence.
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.
