CHRONICLE OF THE BRUTE, in English. Has the two introductory paragraphs, beginning "The first inhabityng of þis lande," and proceeds "Some tyme in þe lande of Surre." Ends with the siege of Rouen in 1418-19, but with words slightly different from the usual ones, "and putte þe toun in gouvernaunce and reule and cried his peace amonges the citezeins." The last chapter is numbered 238, beginning with the accession of Henry V. The language is somewhat modernised, and the arrangement of chapters altered; e.g. between Arthur and Conan there is only a single chapter, which is a confused version of the four that usually stand there. Vellum; ff. 142. xvth cent. Titles of chapters in red, and spaces left for illuminated initials, but none filled in. The flyleaves are fragments of Latin theological works from a MS. of the end of the 13th cent. (ff. 1, 141) and (f. 142) from a printed volume of the 16th cent. Small Folio.
