  • Résumé : CCCC MS 96, dating to c. 1425-50, contains the text of a chronicle from the arrival in England of St Augustine of Canterbury up to 1199, together with a collection of Latin versions of the Anglo-Saxon law codes known as the Quadripartitus. The version of the Quadripartitus is one of three (the other versions being in Manchester, John Rylands University Library MS Lat. 420 and London, BL MS Additional 49366) that make up a coherent tradition within the transmission of the text. The chronicle was once commonly called John Brompton's Chronicle but is probably better described as The Fitzhugh Chronicle, since the arms of William, 4th lord Fitzhugh (1425-1452), depicted in a gilded initial, probably identify him as the first owner. Thereafter it was in the hands of John Brompton (fl. 1436-c. 1464), Abbot of Jervaulx and possibly Richard, Duke of Gloucester (d. 1485). John Leland (d. 1552), the antiquary, seems to have seen the volume in Jervaulx Abbey in the 1530s or early 1540s, but it was recorded by the historian John Bale (1495-1563) as being in the hands of Peter Osborn (d. 1592) Keeper of the Privy Purse to Edward VI and Parker's executor, from whom it passed to Parker.

Notes

  • Research: Lieberman dates it at about 1425.
  • Research: The attribution of this Chronicle to John Brompton rests on the authority of this manuscript: but the inscription quoted cannot be held to show that the Abbot of Jervaulx was the author: he merely procured the book for his monastery. Twysden's is the only edition of the text. Liebermann (Gesetze p. xix) uses it for the Latin version of the Anglo-Saxon Laws: his symbol for it is Br. On Peter Osburne see Cooper's Athenae Cantabrigienses II 125. In Bale's Index Scriptorum (p. 185) he appears as the owner of a copy of Brompton's Chronicle, which must be our MS. The date of the Index is placed by the editors at 1549-1557. Osburne died in 1592. See Hardy, Materials II 539.
  • Additions: On flyleaf (xvi early): (H)ec Chronica comparata est a Mro Petro Osburne pro Chronica Ranulphi Cestrensis siue polichronicon in magno volumine. At top of f. 1r in Bale's hand: Chronicon Joannis Bromton Abbatis Joreuallensis Cisterciensis instituti. Lower down (xvi early?): Mr Osborne.
