Cambridge, Corpus Christi College, MS 264: Norwich Documents. Roger of Wendover OSB, Flores historiarum. Bede the Venerable, Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum
Abstract/Contents
- Summary
- CCCC MS 264 contains two major texts; an incomplete version of the Flores historiarum of Roger of Wendover (d. 1236), beginning with events of Richard I's reign and continuing until 1234, and a copy of Bede's Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum. In addition, the early part of the manuscript contains a number of documents relating to Norwich, such as charters and records of agreements with local laymen. This manuscript, copied in the early to mid-fourteenth century, was once in the possession of Simon Bozoun, Prior of Norwich cathedral priory (1344-52), and an inscription to that effect survives in the manuscript. It was presumably from Norwich that Parker acquired this manuscript.
