The Cistercian abbey of Meaux in Yorkshire was founded in 1150 as a
daughter house of Fountains. Thomas de Burton (d.1437) was bursar
in 1394 and abbot from 1396 to 1399. His chronicle survives in two
versions: the earlier, finished around 1396, and a revision
completed around 1402, to which later additions were made. The work
is one of the most important later medieval Cistercian chronicles,
providing detailed information about the history and administration
of Meaux, as well as local and national historical events. The
surviving library catalogue reveals the sources available to
Burton, and he drew extensively on the abbey archives. The work is
arranged by the rule of each abbot, with subdivisions in each
section for local and more general history, arranged by subject
matter. Volume 3 covers the years 1339-1406, including Burton's own
abbacy, and contains the catalogue of books and other treasures of
the abbey, an index and glossary.
