Excerpt from Two of the Saxon Chronicles Parallel, With Supplementary Extracts From the Others: Edited, With Introduction Notes and a Glossarial Index: "This is a manuscript in the library of Corpus Christi Col-311115823111 lege, Cambridge. (ms. CLXXIII.) That Society ao quired it by the gift of Archbishop Parker. It is described (in by Wanley, p. 130, and by Mr. T. Dufi'us Hardy, vol. I. P. 651. It has every title to rank first in the list of Saxon Chronicles. Its original handwriting stops at 891, and the summary of Wessex Kings with which the book is prefaced ends with Alfred. These features indicate a Chronicle which was composed in Alfred's reign, or a copy of such a Chronicle. Whether it is really a manuscript of the last decade of the ninth century I hesitate to judge." (2 VOLUME SET). Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
