Sir Frederick Madden (1801-73) was for thirty years Keeper of
Manuscripts at the British Library. His edition of the Latin text
of Matthew Paris' Historia Anglorum has never been superseded: as
Richard Vaughan wrote in 1958, 'it is one of the finest of all
those published in the Rolls Series, and it set a standard of
careful accuracy and profound scholarship which has seldom been
equalled since'. Matthew Paris, a monk at St Albans Abbey from 1217
to 1259, wrote and illustrated the single complete surviving
manuscript of this 'English History', which covers the years
1067-1253. He was an accomplished artist and a racy, indefatigably
curious and opinionated narrator of events. Volume 3, prefaced by a
biography of the author, contains the conclusion of the work from
1246 to 1253, and an abbreviated version composed by Paris himself.
