Summary: A luxury copy, dating from c. 1300, perhaps made in Paris, of the Speculum historiale, Books IX-XVI, by the Dominican, Vincent of Beauvais (1189/94-c. 1264), having fine illuminated initials and decorative borders. CCCC MSS 13 and 14 are vols. II and III of a three-volume set, of which volume I is Cambridge, St John's College MS B.21. It belonged to St Augustine's Abbey, Canterbury. This is an encyclopaedia of history which was extremely popular in the Middle Ages, and exists in printed copies as late as the seventeenth century.
