• Résumé : CCCC MS 301 contains a number of texts relating to St Augustine's, Canterbury, copied in the early fourteenth century. Among the texts included in the volume are two chronicles; one describing events from the arrival of Brutus in England to the accession of Henry III derived firstly from Bede, and from English twelfth-century writers such as Geoffrey of Monmouth (d. 1154), William of Malmesbury OSB (c. 1080-1143), Henry of Huntingdon (1084-1155) and Roger of Howden (d. c. 1201). The other chronicle is based on a foreign source and covers the period from the Incarnation to 1316. In addition, this manuscript contains an early fourteenth-century Anglo-Norman copy of the Hosebandrie of Walter of Henley (d. c. 1290/1300), a treatise on estate management and accounting, and a number of veterinary recipes, also in Anglo-Norman. The book was donated to St Augustine's by Stephen de Hackyngton (fl. 1332). Matthew Parker no doubt valued it for the light it shed on the history of Canterbury, a recurring theme in his collection.
