MURIMUTH, ADAM (c. 1274-1347)

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 37 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MURIMUTH, ADAM (c. 1274-1347) , English ecclesiastic and chronicler, was born in 1274 or 1275 and educated. in the civil law at Oxford. Between 1312 and 1318 he practised in the papal curia at Avignon. Edward II. and Archbishop Winchelsey were among his clients, and his legal services secured for him canonries at
Hereford
  and St Paul's, and the precentorship of
Exeter
  Cathedral. In 1331 he retired to a country living (Wraysbury, Bucks), and devoted himself to writing the history of his own times. His Continuatio chronicarum, begun not earlier than 1325, starts from the year 1303, and was carried up to 1347, the year of his death. Meagre at first, it becomes fuller about 1340 and is specially valuable for the history of the French wars. Murimuth has no merits of style, and gives a bald narrative of events. But he incorporates many documents in the latter part of his book. The annals of St. Paul's whidh have been edited by Bishop
Stubbs
 , are closely related to the
work
  of Murimuth, but probably not from his pen. The Continuatio was carried on, after his death, by an anonymous writer to the year 1380.
The only complete edition of the Continuatio chronicarum is that by E. M.
Thompson
  (Rolls
series
 , 1889). The preface to this edition, and to W.
Stubbs
 's Chronicles of Edward I. and II., vol. i. (Rolls
series
 , 1882), should be consulted. The anonymous continuation is printed in T. Hog's edition of Murimuth (Eng. Hist. Soc., London, 1846). (H. W. C. D.)
