Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Chronicle of Calais: In the Reigns of Henry VII. And Henry VIII; To the Year 1540 The present Volume owes its existence to the casual discovery, among the transcripts by Stowe in the British Museum, of the Chronicle of Calais, formed, or at least once possessed, by Richard Turpyn, a "burgess there." This appeared to be a fragment which, in a brief compass, contained so much historical information previously unpublished, that I was desirous to recommend it to the patronage of the Camden Society, a suggestion which at once received the approval of the Council. As it was found, on a further search, that the manuscript stores of the British Museum contained many other papers illustrative of the events commemorated in Turpyn´s chronicle, equally unpublished, it was then determined to extend its somewhat scanty dimensions by appending such documents as might contribute to elucidate the history of the town and marches of Calais, during the same period.
