Annales Welfici

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Annales Welfici (Weingartenses) are a historical source of the 12th century, which in annalistic form offers information primarily about the history of the southern German Guelphs in the years between 1101 and 1184. The title comes from modern research, a critical investigation is missing.

Lore

The Annales Welfici have come down to us as an appendix to two copies of the Historia Welforum . The first manuscript comes from the Swabian Altomünster monastery and covers the years between 1101 and 1177 as the reporting period. In a second, probably somewhat later version from the Weingarten monastery , events between 1180 and 1184 are also recorded. This transcript also provides some information on the history of Weingarten Monastery.
