Ranulf Higden (d. 1364) was a monk at the abbey of St Werburgh in
Chester. His most important literary work is this universal
chronicle, which survives in over a hundred Latin manuscripts,
testifying to its popularity. The earliest version of it dates from
1327, but Higden continued writing until his death, expanding and
updating the text. It was also continued in other monastic houses,
most importantly by John Malvern of Worcester. The English
translation made by John Trevisa in the 1380s was also widely
circulated and is included in this work, published in nine volumes
for the Rolls Series between 1865 and 1886. The chronicle shows how
fourteenth-century scholars understood world history and geography.
Volume 2 contains the remainder of Book 1, on the description of
Britain, and twenty-eight chapters of Book 2, on the early history
of the world to the reign of Saul in Israel.
