- Abstract:
- Manuscript, on paper, in two secretary hands. The Roll of Battle Abbey, in English, on the first two pages, is followed by a chronicle of the kings of Britain from Noah to Edward IV. The text, in Latin, emphasizes the descent of the early kings from Brutus; the account of the life and reign of King Arthur contains details from Geoffrey of Monmouth's account as well as from the Mabinogion and from Nennius's Historia. The layout of the volume reflects the origin of the text in roll format; the descent of the kings and noble families after Edward I are outlined in the genealogical diagrams but without accompanying narrative text.
