Résumé : CCCC MS 374 is a small manuscript that contains an epitome of the Brut chronicle down to 1429 written in an early sixteenth-century hand, and the Manipulus chronicorum, a description and history of England said to have been drawn from 'multa et uariis autoribus' and written somewhat earlier than the Brut. The presence of the letters 'TW' in Parker's characteristic red chalk has been taken to mean that the volume came to Parker via either John Twyne (1507-81) or Thomas Wotton (1521-87) and, therefore, probably from Canterbury - possibly St Augustine's. However, the most recent survey of the library of St Augustine's agrees with Neil Ker's earlier rejection of this provenance.
