This date is only the oldest record of a document written in something like

implied.
As you say « not exactly ». But he did not translate it in Latin.  This is what I meant.

P.S. For those that want to practice their French, here is a broadcast on the Oath of Strasbourg. Not highly scientific, but pleasant and a good introduction.

Seems to work fine with Netscape, but I had problems with MSIE.
