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?

There's got to be more to life than compile-and-go.
