Description:
CCCC MS 292 is another codex that reflects Matthew Parker's interest in acquiring and preserving manuscripts containing medieval historical texts. This codex contains thirteenth-century copies of the Historia regum Britanniae (including Book VII, the Prophetia Ambrosii Merlini) by Geoffrey of Monmouth (d. 1154), and the History of Charlemagne and Roland by the pseudo-Turpinus, probably written in the second quarter of the twelfth century. Both texts have had lacunae supplemented in a sixteenth-century hand. In addition, this manuscript preserves a number of fourteenth- and sixteenth-century copies of documents relating to Edward I's claims to the overlordship of Scotland, some of which were transcribed into CCCC MS 101.
