Where it came from
Matthew Paris was a thirteenth-century Benedictine monk and chronicler based at St Albans Abbey, whose work remains one of the most significant sources for English history during the Middle Ages. The chronicles are renowned for their vivid narrative style and Paris’s own detailed marginal illustrations, which include maps, heraldic shields, and depictions of historical figures that offer a unique, firsthand glimpse into the medieval worldview.
This 1993 edition, published by Corpus Christi College, serves as a scholarly reproduction of these illuminated manuscripts. It preserves the intricate visual storytelling Paris employed to bridge the gap between theological scholarship and contemporary history, making the complex political and social landscape of the thirteenth century accessible to modern researchers and enthusiasts of medieval art history.
