The Crowland Chronicle Continuations 1459-1486 (English, Latin and Latin Edition)

"The Crowland Chronicle Continuations, 1459-1486, are among the major sources for late 15th century English history, containing information found nowhere else on crucial events, including those of the reign of Richard III. They have hitherto only been available in a 19th century English translation and a 17th century Latin version. The present book represents the first scholarly edition. It contains a long Introduction which includes a discussion of the vexed question of the authorship, and parallel Latin and English texts. The publication of this book on the 500th anniversary of the Continuations is a major event for scholars of the period."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
