8vo.
A book in the hand-writing of John Stowe the historian, containing divers extracts made in the year 1572, from the "Liber de Hida," a monkish chronicle, in Latin, belonging to the Abbey of Newminster or Hyde near Winchester. It contains many particulars of Saxon history, and also copies, in Latin and English, of the wills of Kings Alfred, Edred and Athelwold, with that of Duke Athelmar. It is a different work from the Register of Hyde, formerly in Mr. Astle's library, and from which he published King Alfred's will. In fo. 47 Stowe has the following memorandum, "that there be in the boke of Hide in greate and lardge parchment writen dyvars of thes things before writen, and many other testaments of certeyn Saxon Kings which be writen in bastard Saxon and translated into Latyn and Englyshe, &c." This volume belonged to Sir Richard Saint George Clarencieux herald, and afterwards, as mentioned in Tanner's Notitia Monastica, to his son Sir Henry.
