Abstract/Contents
- Summary
- CCCC MS 182 contains an English version of the Brut chronicle ('Extended Version to 1419' (Group C)) copied in the second quarter of the fifteenth century and supplied with some handsome decorative initials. As one of several chronicles of English history in the collection, this volume in particular reveals Parker's efforts to collate the information provided by his other sources. Notes in Parker's hand in this manuscript reveal that he compared the text of the Brut to another copy in CCCC MS 174 and that he cross-referenced this text with the unique copy of the Scalacronica also in his possession (now CCCC MS 133). There is no evidence of this manuscript's provenance or how it came to be in Parker's collection.
