  • Résumé : CCCC MS 280 contains a copy of the text of the Historia Anglorum of Henry of Huntingdon (c. 1088-c. 1157), a chronicle written in England in the mid-twelfth century. In his edition of 1879 Arnold postulated that this manuscript was once in the library of St Augustine's, Canterbury, but M. R. James was unable to confirm this and Neil Ker rejected the thesis outright. The text as found in this manuscript has been used in the collation of the most recent edition of the text for material after 1138 by Greenway.

Provenance

  • The manuscript is the first of those mentioned by Arnold in his Introduction to his edition, xxxv. He thinks it probable that it belonged to St Augustine's, Canterbury, but I cannot identify it in the catalogue, and no mark survives.
