Tliis prologue may be said to be divided imto Two Parts. The first part
contains the authorities from which the Chronicle is compiled, and the
seven parts into which it is divided; oecupying very nearly the entire
2 pages of a ij. As the whole of this first part has been extracted by
Ames and Herbert, it need not occupy a space in the presentwork. The
reader, however, may wish to be informed of the Authorities upon
which the veracity, or falsehood, of this Chronicle rests. These are,
we find, ‘ Geoffuey of Monmouth, monk, in his book of Brute.
Saint Bede, in the acts of England : item, in his Book of Times.
Gildas, in the acts of Britain. William of Malmesbuky, monk, in
the Acts of Kings of England and Bishops—Cassiodorus, of the Acts
of Emjieiors and Bishops.—Saint Austin, de Civitate Dei. Titus
Livius, de Gestis Romanorum.—MARTiN, Penitentiary to the Pope, in
liis Chronicles of Emperorsand Bishops.—And, namely, “ Theobaldus
Cartusiensis, containing in his Book the Progress of all notable
Fathers from the beginning of the World unto our time, with the
notable acts of tlie same. In this new translation are eontained many
notable and marvellous things : and thoo been legged by auctoryte of
mony famous clerkys.”
The second part of the Prologue, containing a mere slcetch of the
state of the world, from the Creation to the Death of Christ, occupies
the ensuing leaf, a iij. On the recto of a iiij, we observe, at top, the
commeneement of the text of the Chronicle, thus :
