Résumé : CCCC MS 117 contains a decorated version of the text of the Polychronicon of Ranulf Higden OSB (d. 1364) copied in the last quarter of the fourteenth century. It contains a small number of marginal drawings. The text of the Polychronicon is littered with Parker's characteristic red chalk noting items of interest such as a mention of Oxford University and church affairs. In addition, the manuscript contains two items of the correspondence of Anselm of Canterbury copied from CCCC MS 135 and an account of the Primatial Council at Winchester of 1 April 1076 copied from Bodleian MS Junius 121, all in a sixteenth-century hand, and with an accompanying note as to the source of the texts. It is possible that these items, written on paper and added to the parchment endleaves, were copied for Parker.
