Abstract/Contents

Summary: CCCC MS 59, dating from the early fourteenth century, is a collection of texts probably designed to appeal to a monastic audience's hunger for knowledge of the world beyond its walls. Among the manuscript's profusion of texts and documents are the spurious Letters of Prester John and of Alexander the Great to Aristotle, statutes, charters and papal bulls. There is a much interest in chronological material, with short chronicles being accompanied by lists of popes, emperors, kings and archbishops of Canterbury. The precise provenance of this manuscript is unknown, though a continuation of one of the most substantial texts in the codex, Chronica pontificum et imperatorum by Martin of Troppau OP (d. 1278), records the martyrdom of Thomas de la Hale of Dover, suggesting a link to the south coast of England, possibly the Premonstratensian abbey of the Virgin and St Thomas the Martyr at West Langdon, Kent.
