"A TRETIS compiled out of diuerse cronicles," and ending 18 Hen. VI. [1439-40]: see f. 7, "In whos xviii yere this short trety was ended." The writer, who quotes Bede, Alfred of Rievaulx and most frequently Higden's Polyehronicon, appears to be connected with Chester. The work is designed to be complete in seven parts, dealing with:-(a) the genealogy from Adam through Woden to Hen. VI. (differs slightly from Alfred of Rievaulx);-
(b) the counties and provinces of England;-(c) the cities and towns of England;-(d) the see of Chester and its transference to Coventry;-(e) the history of Chester;-(f) names of kings and "other lordes noble as many as I may gader";-(g) "sepultures and the names of bodies that weren worthi fer to be beried in this lande"; but the MS. breaks off in the middle of the fourth section. The part of the history which is possibly original (Rich. II. to end of Hen. V.) is brief and unimportant, occupying about four pages. In the account of the cities (from Higden) the writer has interpolated an assertion of the foundation of Cambridge University in the 18th year of Aristotle's life. Paper; ff. 10. XVth cent. Rough ornamental initials in red and blue. Phillipps MS. 8859. Folio.
