Description: | This manuscript consists of two parts: the first is a chronicle by William of Malmesbury (died 1143); and the second is a series of annals--with a particular emphasis on Bury St. Edmunds--as far as the year 1212, with subsequent additions. The manuscript was therefore almost certainly written at Bury in 1212.
The first entry on this page, the annal for 399, records that Rufinus of Aquileia wrote his History of the Church in that year. Other annals include the discovery of the body of the first martyr, St Stephen (410), Augustine's publication his book 'The City of God' (414, in red) and the deaths of Jerome (420, the editor of the Latin translation of the Bible used in the middle ages) and Augustine (424). | 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 |
