Annales guelferbytani
The Annales guelferbytani (abbreviated AG) are part of the Reichsannalen of the Franconian Empire ; they cover the years 741 to 798 with additions to the years 817 and 823. They were written in 812–813 in Regensburg, the then capital of Bavaria. They were found in the Herzog August Library Wolfenbüttel (hence the name) in a manuscript ("Cod. Guelf. 67.5 Aug. 8 °"), which contains fourteen folia, of which Folio 13r (recto) 826, Folio 13v (verso) and 14r were added later.
For the years up to 751 the Annales guelferbytani have a common source with the Annales nazariani (AN) and the Annales alamannici (AA) in the lost Murbach annals of the Murbach Abbey . The Annales Laureshamenses , the Annales mosellani and the Fragmentum chesnii also come from this source . For the period up to 789 AG, AA and AN have a continuation of the Murbacher Annalen as a source. From 789 the Annales guelferbytani are an independent source by an unknown author. From it comes the information about the campaign of Pippin of Italy against the Principality of Benevento , which his father Charlemagne had ordered in 791, after both of a common campaign against Wenden and Avars (whose country is called Hunia , Huns here ).
