Chronicon Monasterii de Abingdon: Volume 2, From the Norman Conquest Until the Accession of Richard the First
Published in 1858, this two-volume chronicle covers approximately 500 years, from the seventh-century foundation of Abingdon Abbey to the accession of Richard I in 1189. Editor Joseph Stevenson claims its value is not as a detailed history but as a rich illustration of England's journey from barbarism to civilisation.
Abingdon in Context
Abingdon has been well served by many generations of local historians, but they tended to the antiquarian, describing local personalities and events with little reference to the regional or national environments. Manfred Brod uses Abingdon as a case study
Historia Ecclesie Abbendonensis
The History of the Church of Abingdon is one of the most valuable local histories produced in the twelfth century. It provides a wealth of information about, and great insight into, the legal, economic, and ecclesiastical affairs of a major monastery. Charters and narrative combine to provide a vital resource for historians. The present edition, unlike its victorian predecessor, is based on the earliest manuscript of the text. A modern English translation is provided on facingpages, together with extensive introductory material and historical notes.This volume covers the period from the reputed foundation of the abbey and its estates to c.1071. Volume II, already published, covers from c.1071- c.1164.
