Egerton MS 1944

1. "CRONICA [Ottonis, episcopi] Frisingensis," scilicet, rerum gestarum ab initio mundi ad usque A.D. 1145; unit cum Ottonis de S. Blasio appendice ad A.D. 1209 et anonymi eujusdam continuatione ad A.D. 1274, f. 1. Prefixed is a summary of Universal history from the Creation to the Nativity, "ex cronica Orosii et Eusebii," beginning, "In principio erat verbum et verbum erat principium," and ending with the verses of the Sibyl on the coming of Chist. The chronicle, with the appendix of Otto of St. Blaise, was printed by Urstisius, "Germaniæ historici illustres," Francofurti, 1670, tom. i. p. 9. The present copy, however, besides other considerable differences, does not include the "Proæmium ad Singrimum," but, in place of the first chapter as there given, it contains a preface, beginning, "Ego initium miseriarum hominum," the greater part of which is copied from the history of Orosius, book i. ch. ii. iii.

2. "Cathalogus siue cronica omnium pontificum et imperatorum Romanoruw, vbi anni et menses et dies eorum ponuntur et notabilia facta eorum, et distinguitur quis imperator. sub quo papa incepit. Incipiens a Christo qui fuit primus et summmus et ab Octauiano Augusto pertingens usque" [ad annum 1273], f. iii.

3. "Registrum de curia Romana quod vocatur prouinciale Tancredi; with the colophon," Tabula superscripta continet patriarchatus, archiepiscopatus et episcopatus omnium prouinciarum totius Christianitatis," f. 120. Vellum; xvth cent. At the end is the inscription, "1298 in tegernse" [Tegernsee, in Bavaria-], but the figure 2 is inserted by a later hand over an erasure. Folio.
