Synopsis
Excerpt from Appendix Ad Rogeri De Wendover Flores Historiarum: In Qua Leotionum Varietas Additionesque, Quibus Chronicon Istud Ampliavit Et Instruxit
Thb object of the present volume is to shew more completely the precise points of difference between the Chronicles of Wendover and Paris, by furnishing the reader with the additions and various readings made by the latter historian to the work of the former, and so rendering the history more perfect, by combining the labours of both writers, so far as they are the narrators of contemporaneous events. In doing this, it was the original intention of the editor to include also a col lation of the Historia Minor; but the perusal of the first few pages of that work, appended to this Introduction, will be suflìcient, it is hoped, to shew that such an attempt, however desirable, was altogether impracti cable. The difi'erent style of language used in relating the same events as are recorded in the Greater Chronicle, the additional matter also with which it is supplied, would have made it necessary to print volumes in order to render such a collation at all perfect. It does, in deed, seem extraordinary that such a collation should never have been made; still more so, perhaps, that the work itself never should have been printed, being, as it is, so entirely throughout the original work of Mat thew Paris, and existing, as at the present day, in the original handwriting of its ingenious and learned com piler.' In former times, however, men appear to have rested equally well satisfied with the Historia Major.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book concerns itself with vital chronicles from the reign of King William I of England, the Conqueror, who vanquished King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings. It explores the reign of William I in great depth, offering a rare insight into the transition of England from the rule of a Saxon king to that of a Norman king. The author, a chronicler writing not long after the events he describes, provides a detailed and nuanced account of a pivotal era in English history. Neither a simple history nor a bare chronicle, the book illuminates the period with anecdote and detail from a perspective intimately familiar with its events.
