Between 1863 and 1876, the Rolls Series published several works
about the abbey of St Albans, edited by Henry Thomas Riley
(1816-78) under the rubric 'Chronica monasterii S. Albani'. This
account of the achievements of its abbots was compiled and enlarged
by Thomas Walsingham (c.1340-c.1422), who supervised the
scriptorium at St Albans until 1394, and wrote several other
historical works. It appeared in three volumes between 1867 and
1869. The early part of the Gesta reworks earlier accounts
including that by Matthew Paris (d.1259), but the section covering
1308-93 was composed by Walsingham himself and is an important
primary source for fourteenth-century English history. Volume 3
covers Thomas's own lifetime, from 1349 onwards, and includes an
anonymous continuation to 1411. The main text is in Latin, with
English side-notes. There are several passages in Anglo-Norman, for
which a full English translation is provided.
