Matthaei Paris Monachi Albanensis, Angli, Historia Major
Published in London 1640.

Matthew Paris Monk of St Albans (c. 1200-1259) wrote several chronicles of the history of England over numerous decades.

This volume was originally owned by Thomas Aymot FRS/ FSA, and eventually donated to the school by R. Walker (OW). The rare book was rebound before acquiring it, by the Newcastle Upon Tyne university library in 1961. A page of Cranmer's Great Bible (parts of St. John's Gospel, chapters 2 and 3) was found inside the front cover of this volume which remains in place with a photocopy attached to the fly leaf.
