Thomas de Burton (d.1437) was bursar in 1394 and abbot from 1396 to 1399. His chronicle survives in two versions: the earlier, finished around 1396, and a revision completed around 1402, to which later additions were made. The work is one of the most important later medieval Cistercian chronicles, providing detailed information about the history and administration of Meaux, as well as local and national historical events. The surviving library catalogue reveals the sources available to Burton, and he drew extensively on the abbey archives. The work is arranged by the rule of each abbot, with subdivisions in each section for local and more general history, arranged by subject matter. Volume 3 covers the years 1339–1406, including Burton's own abbacy, and contains the catalogue of books and other treasures of the abbey, an index and glossary.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Appendix to preface\u003cbr\u003e Chronicle under Hugh of Leven, the fifteenth abbot\u003cbr\u003e William of Dringhowe (his first abbacy)\u003cbr\u003e John de Ryslay\u003cbr\u003e Robert of Beverley, the sixteenth abbot\u003cbr\u003e William of Dringhowe, the seventeenth abbot (his second abbacy)\u003cbr\u003e William of Scarborough, the eighteenth abbot\u003cbr\u003e Preface to the continuation of the chronicle\u003cbr\u003e Thomas Burton, the nineteenth abbot\u003cbr\u003e William Wendover, the twentieth abbot\u003cbr\u003e Glossary\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: British \u0026amp; Irish history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on British \u0026amp; Irish history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22British%20\u0026amp;%20Irish%20history%20%5BHBJD1%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD1\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266087997720,"sku":"9781108048637","price":39.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108048637i.jpg?v=1696746822","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/chronica-monasterii-de-melsa-a-fundatione-usque-ad-annum-1396-paperback-9781108048637","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
