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
between 1865 and 1886. The chronicle shows how fourteenth-century
scholars understood world history and geography. Volume 9 contains
the continuation partly written by John Malvern, with the section
from 1381 to 1394 now believed to have been written at Westminster.
Glossaries and indexes to the entire work are also included.
