Description: | This manuscript was originally compiled in 1380 by Thomas Walsingham, the precentor of the Benedictine abbey of St. Albans, as a record of those who had made gifts to the abbey.
Matthew Paris is one of the very first English artists whose name we know and whose work survives: several of the manuscripts he wrote and illuminated are in the British Library. He was also the abbey historian: the last line on this page describes him as an 'incomparable chronicler'. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
