After Jerome's death other writers provided continuations. These and similar works are gathered together in this volume, whose original back pastedown is inscribed with the ownership inscription 'of the church of St. Peter, Westminster', i.e. Westminster Abbey.

In the lower margin is the quire number in Roman numerals 'ij' (i.e. 2) | 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 |
