A really fine crisp copy. Decorated by vignette of Sheldonian on title pages and by initials. A three volume collection of medieval English, Scottish and Welsh chronicles in the original Latin, going back as far as the De Excidio of the sixth century British monk, Gildas. Some are here printed from the manuscript for the first time: ' Ex vetustis Codicibus MSS. nunc primum in lucem editi.' The contents include: The Chronicle of Ingulfus of Croyland and its continuation, the Chronicle of Melrose, (Scotland), the Annals of Burton Abbey, and of Margam Abbey (Glamorgan), the Salisbury Chronicle of Thomas Wikes, the Annals of Waverley, the Itinerary of Richard I in the Holy Land, the Capture of Damietta (Egypt), the Chronicle of Walter of Hemingford, Guisborough, the History and Letters of Gildas, Stephen of Ripon, the Life of St. Wilfrid, Nennius, The History of Britain, the Chronicle of St. Neots, partly based on John Asser, the Polychronicon of Ranulf Higden of Chester, William of Malmesbury, the Antiquity of Glastonbury and Book V of the Deeds of the English Bishops, the History of Ramsey Abbey and of the Church of Ely, the Chronicle of John of Wallingford, the History of the Kings of the Britons by Ralph de Diceto, the History of the Scots by John of Fordun and Alcuin's poem on York. Some of these texts are extracts selected from longer works. At the end is an Appendix of Greek and Latin descriptions of Britain (Greek texts are included with Latin translations), some extracts from Domesday Book, starting with the entry for Dover, a list of Latin place names and their English equivalents and notes, including a list of Anglo-Saxon kings. The first volume was edited by William Fulman under the patronage of John Fell, classical scholar and Bishop of Oxford (1625-86), who, as curator of the Sheldonian Theatre, had the charge of the Oxford University Press located there. He perhaps holds responsibility for the high quality of the typesetting of the series, which significantly depicts the Sheldonian on the title pages. The whole three volume compilation, however, is generally linked with the name of the editor of the last two volumes, Thomas Gale, F.R.S. (c.1635-1702), Dean of York and antiquary. The ESTC has further details about the relationship between the three volumes as indicated in the half titles and lists of contents. The set was held in Trinity College, Cambridge until 1859 when it was apparently discarded as a duplicate. At this stage it may have come into the ownership of Earl Fitzwilliam who probably commissioned the handsome high quality binding by Francis Bedford (1799-1863), the leading London bookbinder.
