Trained at the Ecole Royale des Chartes at the Sorbonne, Paul
Marchegay (1812-1885) dedicated his life to publishing the rich
manuscript history found in the archives in his native Anjou.
Volume 1 contains a collection of important texts by religious and
lay authors written about the Angevin dynasty in its early years,
dating from roughly the tenth to twelfth centuries. The most
important manuscript printed in this collection is the Gesta
Consulum Andegavorum. It is the only printed version of this
manuscript, although modern scholars consider Marchegay's edition
to be of poor quality. The collection also includes the only
biography written about Geoffrey 'le bel' (Plantagenet), Count of
Anjou, by Jean, a twelfth-century monk at Marmoutier. This book
retains an interest for modern readers because it includes rare
printed manuscripts, and also because descendants of the family,
the Plantagenets, became the ruling monarchy in England.
