A Church of England clergyman and fellow of Trinity College,
Cambridge, Henry Richards Luard (1825-91) edited a number of works
in the Rolls Series, for which he was noted for the quality of his
indexing and the depth of his commentary. This seven-volume work,
first published between 1872 and 1883, has been hailed as one of
the best editions in the series. It is a rich source for English
history from the Creation to 1259, written by England's greatest
medieval historian. Matthew Paris (c.1200-59) became a monk at St
Albans in 1217 and had access to a wide variety of documents as an
acquaintance of such men as Bishop Robert Grosseteste and King
Henry III, whom he knew well. The Latin text of Volume 3, covering
1216-39, derives from the work of Roger of Wendover up to around
1235, where scholars have suggested Paris's own chronicle began.
