Chronica Magistri Rogeri De Houedene Volume 2 PDF Download

Excerpt from Chronica Magistri Rogeri De Houedene, Vol. 2 Ms' spelling of words, both common and preper. With these corrections it is a close copy of the original, ex cept in one great point. It omits several letters of the Scottish series, touching the disputed election to the bishoprick of S. Andrews, and some of the astrological calculations and prophecies, which occupy so large a portion of the Chronicle for the year 1184. Two theories may be adduced to account for the omission of these documents either they were left out as tedious and irrelevant, or they were, when the transcript was made, not yet introduced into the original volume. The former supposition is the only possible one, for the omitted letters occur, for the most part, not at the end of their respective years, where they might have been inserted later than the rest of the text on the liberal interleaves of the magnificent manuscript, but are im bedded in the text, which on both sides of them has been carefully copied by the later scribe.
