The Monastic Chronicler and the Early School of St. Albans Six hundred years ago, in the second decade of the fourteenth century, the great Italian poet whose fame the world has just been celebrating anew, saw in that Paradise of elect souls of every age and clime which is described in the last section of the Divina Cornmedia,1 the radiant spirit of a great Englishman who was also perhaps the most famous of monastic historians. The six centuries that separated Dante himself from the time of the Venerable Bede were charged even beyond bearing with those happenings in national and local life which are the materials of history. It is these which the annalist records and the chronicler describes and illustrates with reflexions and stories grave or gay, a comedy of manners if sometimes, it must be added, of errors too. But while many moralized there were few who could add to the students discipline of patient research in the establishment of facts, the historians insight into causes, his appraisement of values, his sense of a just perspective.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
