Earliest detailed description of a compiler

From Derek@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 13 12:14:18 2024

All,

What is the earliest detailed description of the
workings of a compiler?

One from 18 April 1958
Internal Translator (IT) A compiler for the 650 http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/650/CarnegieInternalTranslator.pdf

There were lots of compilers by 1957, but where is their
internal documentation? https://shape-of-code.com/2017/05/21/evidence-for-28-possible-compilers-in-1957/
