Hildesheim Annals
The Hildesheimer Annalen (Latin Annales Hildesheimenses ) are a history from the 11th and 12th centuries.
The Hildesheim annals give a representation of the creation of the world up to the year 1137. A first part was created around 1040, whereby the Hersfeld annals were used for the older time. For the early 11th century, detailed information about King Konrad II and the holy Hildesheim bishops Bernward and Godehard is included, as well as some news about events in the Slavic area east of the Elbe. Around 1109 the annals were supplemented mainly from the annals of St. Alban in Mainz, and around 1137 again after the Paderborn annals. The Hildesheim annals are only preserved in one manuscript, which is in the Paris National Library (Paris. Lat. 6114).
