Matthaei Parisiensis Chronica Majora, Volume 5: A.D. 1248 to A.D. 1259

Matthaei Parisiensis Chronica Majora, Volume 5: A.D. 1248 to A.D. 1259

Matthew Paris
0/5 ( ratings)
A Church of England clergyman and fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, Henry Richards Luard 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 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.
