This two-volume work forms part of a series of scholarly editions,
commissioned by the Master of the Rolls, of unpublished chronicles
and other original documents relating to Early English history. The
documents are reprinted in Latin or Middle English, and are
summarised by the editors, whose invaluable prefaces places them in
historical context and describe the location and condition of the
original manuscripts. Volume 1 (1858) contains documents relating
to the earliest establishment of the Franciscan Order. The treatise
De adventu of Thomas of Eccleston (fl. c.1231 58), is the only
eyewitness source of the settlement and progress of the friars in
England; and the letters of the renowned Franciscan scholar, Adam
de Marisco (or Marsh, c. 1200 59), are important examples of early
Franciscan organisation. The volume closes with the register of the
establishment of the Minorites in London, and an appendix of other
original documents.
