[ROGER, OF WENDOVER AND MATTHEW PARIS.]

Flores historiarvm per Matthaeum Westmonasteriensem collecti, praecipuae de rebus Britannicis ab exordio mundi vsque ad annum Domini. 1307. [Edited by Matthew Parker.]

London, ex officina Thomae Marshij, 1570. Folio, pp. [10], 440, 466 (i. e. 468 - a single unsigned leaf inserted between 3T1 and 3T2), [22], including the genuine blank leaf [4Q6] at the back; title within architectural border (McKerrow & Fergusson, 132), 14- line woodcut arms on A1r, 2 7-line pointille woodcut initials; contemporary full calf, blindstamped panel with fleurons in the corners enclosing a monogram, double-ruled border on covers, 18th century morocco label; joints cracked, small chips out at the top and bottom of the front cover at the joint; internally clean but with some light pencil erudite marginalia; a good copy with an interesting Irish provenance: the title-p. with an 18th century inscription "Ioannes Carpenter Archepus Dublin et Hibernia Primus 1770" and with a further inscription on the verso of the title-p. in Gaelic: "Do leabhnaibh ,,," beneath which is Carpenter's engraved bookplate. A further inscription at the top of the second leaf reads: "Th. Mackie, June 28, 1823, Troy's sale, Shrp., Rtnd. a. £497916" as well as another inscription in Gaelic on [¹5r]. The existence of Matthew of Westminster ("Matthaeum Westmonasteriensem") is held to be fictitious, and the name a probable allusion to Matthew Paris. In fact, the work is a compilation from several authors and chronicles. Book 1, covering up to the year 1066, follows closely the Chronica major of Matthew Paris. Book 2 is an abridgment from the same work, with additions partly compiled and composed by various writers at St. Albans and Westminster, covering 1067-1307. The additions from 1259-1273 have been attributed to William Rishanger. The Chronica 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. The whole was edited by Matthew Parker. STC 17653a.3.

¶ 'Matthew Paris (d. 1259?) is commonly regarded as England's greatest medieval historian. The 'Historia Anglorum', begun in 1250, is an abridgement, concentrating on English history, of the 'Chronica Majora', but it also includes some additional material for the period A.D. 1067-1253. Matthew Paris became a monk of St. Albans in 1217, and succeeded Roger Wendover as historiographer of that abbey in 1236. He drew his information from many documentary sources including papal bulls and royal letters and from conversations with eye-witnesses of the events narrated. (...) His style is graphic; his view is broad; and his opinions are expressed with fervour. He condems what he regarded as abuses of the court and church; he rebukes pope, king, nobles, and clergy, when he deems them worthy of blame. Matthew was a man of many interests and attainments'. E. Graves. A bibliography of English history to 1485. Oxford, 1975, 2941
