Omtale

The manuscript for this chronicle of Anglo-Saxon history from 455 to 1023 and cartulary of Hyde Abbey was discovered in 1861 by librarian Edward Edwards (1812–86), who had been employed to catalogue the Earl of Macclesfield's library. Published in 1866, it gives a fascinating insight into medieval England.
