The richest Ottonian annal for the reigns of Henry II and Conrad II, written at the imperial convent of Quedlinburg, and one of the earliest western texts to describe the Slav lands and the conversion of the Rus. Its eleventh-century entries are quoted constantly in English scholarship and translated nowhere. The Saxon line of historiography that runs from Widukind of Corvey, whose Res gestae Saxonicae is fully translated by Bernard S. Bachrach and David S. Bachrach (Catholic University of America Press, Medieval Texts in Translation, 2014), ends in English with the annal untranslated.
