• Résumé : CCCC MS 197A is the first part of what was, in James' time, a single volume; the other portion, containing the eighth-century Gospels, is now in CCCC MS 197B. CCCC MS 197A now contains sixteenth-century transcripts of King Alfred's letter to bishop Werfrithus (d. 915), the trial of Joan of Arc (Robert Ciboule's Tractatus and accompanying documents) and material relating to the treason and death of Archbishop Scrope (c. 1350-1405). The rest of the manuscript is taken up with continuations of Ranulf Higden OSB (d. 1364), Polychronicon including the unique version commonly called The Westminster Chronicle ending in 1389 and written not long after the events it describes. This part of the manuscript has been given a dating of c. 1400-25. Although the various elements of CCCC MS 197 were clearly assembled by Parker, nothing is known of how the medieval texts came into his possession.
