- The Rolls Series "This work, commonly known as the Rolls Series, was published from 1858 to 1911. Herbert Thurston wrote: "The vast bulk of the texts . . . are in Latin, and these are printed without translation. Those in old French, Anglo-Saxon, Irish, Gaelic, Welsh, old Norse, etc. always have a translation annexed" ("Rolls Series", Catholic Encyclopedia, 1913, volume 13). Texts (including those in Latin) are accompanied by a commentary in English. Some volumes are entirely in English. For a partial index of the volumes, see 'Catalogue of Record Publications on Sale': [Quoted from Wikisource]
