Who translated the Diary?
The diary text on this website is based on the shorthand manuscript in the Pepysian library at Magdalene College, Cambridge, transcribed by The Rev. Mynors Bright MA in 1885. It is published as electronic text by Project Gutenberg. Read the small print if you wish. A revised and still copyright edition was published in 1970-1983 by Robert Latham and William Matthews – and this remains the most detailed and accurate version of the diary – but as it is copyright it cannot appear here.
