• Résumé : CCCC MS 51 contains a series of chronicles including Jerome's Latin translation of Eusebius of Caesarea's Chronici canones, the Chronica Gallica ad annum CCCCLII with excerpts of Prosper's Epitoma Chronicon, and the Chronica of Sigebert of Gembloux (c. 1030-1112). In the early fourteenth-century catalogue of the cathedral priory of Christ Church, Canterbury manuscripts drawn up under Henry of Eastry this book is called Cronica Eusebii Salomonis, a reference to Salomon, a monk and sub-Prior of Christ Church in 1207. Salomon has also been identified as the possible compiler of a late twelfth-century collection of mnemonic verses and notes on the compotus now found in London, BL MS Egerton 3314.
