Definition
A historian or writer who records and compiles historical annals or yearly chronicles of events.
Etymology
From 'annal' plus '-ist,' denoting a practitioner. By the Medieval period, annalists were often monks tasked with maintaining monastery historical records.
Kelly Says
Monastic annalists were obsessive about detail—they'd record weather, harvests, and eclipses alongside wars, creating accidental science records that climatologists still use today!
