商品描述: Alfred, treasurer of Beverly Minster in Yorkshire, wrote his History about 1150, when, during the anarchy of Stephen's reign, the diocese of York was in crisis. This text is of particular interest in that it is the first Latin chronicle written in Britain to incorporate the legendary British history which Geoffrey of Monmouth had completed some fifteen years earlier. Geoffrey's work had at first been hailed as a valuable new source, but as time went by, was treated with some suspicion. The History is also an important witness to the reception and dissemination of three of the most important Anglo-Norman histories: Symeon of Durham Historia Regum, The Chronicle of John of Worcester and Henry of Huntingdon, Historia Anglorum, from which works it borrows extensively. In rewriting them, the author tells us much about the ecclesiastical and intellectual interests and outlook of the period.
