Between 1863 and 1876, the Rolls Series published several works
from or about the abbey of St Albans, edited by Henry Thomas Riley
(1816-78) under the rubric 'Chronica monasterii S. Albani'. This
two-volume edition of the 'History of England' by Thomas Walsingham
(c.1340-c.1422), who supervised the scriptorium at St Albans until
1394, appeared in 1863-4. Riley followed a fifteenth-century
manuscript, Arundel M.S. VII, but the appendix to Volume 2 supplies
additional material from an earlier manuscript, Brit. Mus. Reg. 13.
E. IX. Modern scholars argue that this work, with several others
previously published separately, belongs to a larger Chronica
majora overseen by Walsingham, and that its complicated manuscript
tradition reveals Thomas' changing opinions of Richard II and John
of Gaunt. For over a century Riley's edition was acknowledged as
authoritative for the central period 1377-92. The text appears in
Latin, with English side-notes.
