Why this is in the register
HOLLIS 'Chronicon Salernitanum' returns 9 records (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Chronicon%20Salernitanum&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 Westerbergh's Stockholm edition of 1956, the Brepols edition of 2025 ('747-974'), Italian studies and Oldoni's Italian volume Anonimo salernitano del X secolo (1972). 'Salerno chronicle translation tenth century' and 'Berto Salerno chronicle translation' both return nothing (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Salerno%20chronicle%20translation%20tenth%20century&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 ; https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Berto%20Salerno%20chronicle%20translation&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 although the same translator has produced English versions of Erchempert and the Gesta episcoporum Neapolitanorum. No English translation of the Chronicon Salernitanum exists. The Latin is at dMGH, SS 3, where the text begins on printed p. 467 (https://www.dmgh.de/mgh_ss_3/index.htm#page/(481)).
The great tenth-century chronicle of Lombard southern Italy, written in Salerno and full of economic, monastic and diplomatic detail that no other source preserves, including the careers of the princes of Benevento and Salerno and the Byzantine-Muslim frontier. Its nearest neighbours in the same tradition, Erchempert and the Gesta episcoporum Neapolitanorum, are now in English (Routledge 2022 and 2023 respectively); the Salerno chronicle is not, so southern Italy before 1000 can be read in English only in fragments.
