[Paris, Matthew:] (Parker, Matthew, ed.:)

Flores Historiarum per Matthaeum Westmonasteriensem collecti, praecipue de rebus Britannicis ab exordio mundi usque ad annum Domini. MCCCVII.

Francofurti [Frankfurt]: Typis Wechelianis, 1601. Folio, pp. [viii] 696 [xxiv]. Printer's device to title-page and to final leaf verso, ornate woodcut endpieces and initials. Faint blotchy foxing, some leaves toned, occasional tiny wax spots, a few very discreet paper repairs. Later (approx. 1821-1860) tan calf binding by Clarke & Bedford of Frith Street (their ink stamp to upper corner ffep, verso), spine richly gilt with raised bands; gilt centrepiece, borders and dentelles to each board, a.e.g., marbled endpapers. Joints slightly creased, a little wear to endcaps but very good indeed. Centrepiece gilt arms of John Frederick Campbell, 1st Earl Cawdor (1790-1860). Campbell married in 1816 and succeeded his father in 1821, and these arms appear to postdate both of those events. Campbell was a Fellow of the Royal Society, MP for Carmarthen (1813-1821) and Lord Lieutenant of Carmarthenshire (1817-1860). Ownership inscription of J. Campbell in an old hand to blank leaf preceding title-page. A reprint of the second edition (London, 1570) of Matthew Paris's important historical chronicle (formerly attributed to the fictional 'Matthew of Westminster'), as edited by Matthew Parker. The text covering the period to 1259 is based on the author's Chronica Majora; the 1259-1307 text was compiled and composed by various writers at St. Albans and Westminster; the text from 1307 to 1325 is by Robert of Reading. Includes the chronicle based on the work of Marianus previously attributed to Florence of Worcester, now attributed to John of Worcester.
