  • Résumé : CCCC MS 290 was almost certainly produced at the Benedictine abbey of St Albans, Hertfordshire, in the late eleventh or early twelfth century. It contains a number of texts concerned with continental history, of which the main texts are the Chronicon (De sex aetatibus mundi) of Ado of Vienne (d. 875), followed by genealogies of the Frankish kings and the dukes of Normandy. In the early fourteenth century the Registrum Anglie recorded that the manuscript was still at St Albans. The flyleaves preserve deeds bearing the date 1521 and a notarial mark which mentions John Dowman (or Dolman) LLD (d.1524), elected Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge University in 1495.

  • On f. iir an erasure not recoverable. On f. iiv erased: Cronica Odonis Abbatis. At top of f. 1r an obliterated line in red which I am almost sure was: Liber S. Albani ... titulum deleuerit anathema sit amen. The main hand is very like that of Christ Church, Canterbury.
