Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Le Livere De Reis De Brittanie: E Le Livere De Reis De Engleterre The greater part of the Chronicle now before the reader exists in MS., as far as I am aware, but in two copies. One is in the library of Trinity College, Cambridge, the other in the Vatican. I believe that neither copy contains any clue to the authors name; but I can speak with certainty only of that in the library of Trinity, from which the transcript was made, which has served the printers for the copy of the volume. This was presented in the seventeenth century to the College by a Suffolk gentleman, named Wilmer, along with many other hooks of value, and with certain MSS. of works by Stowe. There is some reason to conjecture that the Chronicle belonged to Stowe. As to its authorship there can hardly be found in the MS. any kind of internal evidence. It is throughout little more than a translation from the known Latin historians, generally considerably abridged; here and there words and names are inserted. The independent value of the Chronicle rests upon these insertions and names. External evidence communicates little more. What I have found leads me to suspect that the book is the work of Peter of Ickham. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
