The Deeds of the Abbots of St Albans : Gesta Abbatum Monasterii Sancti Albani Hardback

Edited by James G. Clark

Hardback

Description

The Deeds of the abbots of St Albans records the history of one of the most important abbeys in England, closely linked to the royal family and home to a school of distinguished chroniclers, including Matthew Paris and Thomas Walsingham.

It offers many insights into the life of the monastery, its buildings and its role as a maker of books, and covers the period from the Conquest to the mid-fifteenth century.
