The chief authorities on Nennius are Mommsen (see his edition of the Historia, and of Gildas, in Mon. Germ. Hist., Berlin, 1898), and Zimmer (Nennius Vindicatus, Berlin, 1893). See, also, Fletcher (The Arthurian Matter in the Chronicles, Boston, 1906) and M. R. James (Camb. Hist. of Eng. Lit., Vol. I. Ch. 5). Thurneysen (Zeitschr. f. Deutsche Philologie, 1897) fixes 827 as the date of the completion of the History.
