MATTHEW OF WESTMINSTER

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 899 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAR-MEC
MATTHEW OF WESTMINSTER , the name of an imaginary person who was long regarded as the author of the Flores Historiarum. The error was first discovered in 1826 by Sir F.
Palgrave
 , who said that
Matthew
  was " a phantom who never existed," and later the truth of this statement was completely proved by H. R. Luard. The name appears to have been taken from that of
Matthew
  of Paris, from whose Chronica majora the earlier part of the
work
  was mainly copied, and from Westminster, the abbey in which the
work
  was partially written.
The Flores historiarum is a Latin chronicle dealing with English history from the creation to 1326, although some of the earlier manuscripts end at 1306; it was compiled by various persons, and written partly at St Albans and partly at Westminster. The part from 1306 to 1326 was written by Robert of
Reading
  (d. 1325) and another Westminster monk. Except for parts dealing with the reign of
Edward
  I. its value is not
great
 . It was first printed by Matthew Parker, archbishop of Canterbury, in 1567, and the best edition is the one edited with introduction by H. R. Luard for the Rolls
series
  (London, 1890). It has been translated into English by C. D. Yonge (London, 1853). See Luard's introduction, and C. Bemont in the Revue critique d'histoire (Paris, 1891).
