Note generali

Book 1, covering through the year 1066, follows closely the "Historia major" of Matthew Paris. Book 2 is an abridgment from the same work, with additions, covering 1067-1307. The additions from 1259-1273 have been attributed to William Rishanger.

"Matthæus Westmonasteriensis" is a fictitious name traditionally assigned to this compilation.

Another edition of STC 17652, published in 1567 with title: Elegans, illustris, et facilis rerum, præsertim britannicarum, ad annum domini, 1307. narratio.

The "Historia major" is based on an earlier work by Roger of Wendover also known as "Flores historiarum", probably based in turn on an earlier St. Albans chronicle. See Vaughan, Richard. "Matthew Paris" (Cambridge, 1958).

Edited by Matthew Parker.
