This Latin chronicle of the abbey of Evesham was compiled around
1214 by Thomas of Marlborough, abbot from 1230 to 1236. Books 1 and
2, containing the life and miracles of St Egwin, bishop of
Worcester (d. 717) and founder of the abbey, were written by a
twelfth-century prior, Dominic, and abridged by Thomas, who
continued the history of the house to his own time. The chronicle
was then extended by unknown authors, the first to 1418 and another
to 1539. This edition, published in 1863 by William Dunn Macray
(1826 1916), contains both continuations. It also includes several
saints' lives that were bound in the same manuscript. The main
text, with English side-notes, contains much valuable information
on the internal life of the abbey, and on its disputes with the
local bishop over visitation rights, concerning which Thomas had to
travel to Rome to appeal to the pope.
