Edited by Henry Richards Luard
Part of the Cambridge Library Collection - Rolls series
Paperback / softback
Description
A Church of England clergyman and fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Henry Richards Luard (1825–91) edited a number of works in the Rolls Series, for which he was noted for the quality of his indexing and the depth of his commentary.
This seven-volume work, first published between 1872 and 1883, has been hailed as one of the best editions in the series.
It is a rich source for English history from the Creation to 1259, written by England's greatest medieval historian.
Matthew Paris (c.1200–59) became a monk at St Albans in 1217 and had access to a wide variety of documents as an acquaintance of such men as Bishop Robert Grosseteste and King Henry III, whom he knew well.
The Latin text of Volume 5 covers the period 1248–59.
Given the belief that time would end in 1250, apocalyptic verses conclude the Chronica in that year.
