The Chronicon Angliae Petriburgense, or Peterborough Chronicle of England, is a 14th-century chronicle written in Medieval Latin at Peterborough Abbey, England, covering events from 604 to 1368.[1] It survives as part of a composite manuscript volume held at the British Library with the mark Cotton Claudius A.v, in which it appears on folios 2–45.[2][3] An edition of the Chronicon was published in 1723 by Joseph Sparke, in a collection of "English histories by various writers".[4] According to John Allen Giles, the Chronicon was attributed by both Simon Patrick and Henry Wharton to John of Caleto (now Caux), who was an abbot of Peterborough (1250–1262): Giles reported a marginal note in the manuscript making a similar attribution.[5] However, in the preface to his own edition published in 1845, Giles noted both that this manuscript attribution was "comparatively modern", and that the chronicle's author is unknown.[5] In Giles's view, the Chronicon is "extremely valuable both on account of the numerous facts which it contains, and for the [700 years] which it embraces."[6]
