Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Medii �vi Kalendarium, or Dates, Charters and Customs of the Middle Ages, With Kalendars From the Tenth to the Fifteenth Century, Vol. 1 of 2: And an Alphabetical Digest of Obsolete Names of Days, Forming a Glossary of the Dates of the Middles Ages, With Tables and Other Aids for Ascertaining the Dates
The Kalendars, it is presumed, will be found of considerable ser vice. They are six in number, of which two are incorporated in one, but the others are distinct. They range from the middle of the tenth century to the end of the fourteenth, and may, therefore, be supposed to contain all the information which can be expected from works of their description. Of one, of which the original is believed to have been the property of King Ethelstan, it must he confessed that it contains much matter that is not likely to prove remarkably useful, and it has been presented more as a literary curiosity than as an assistant in chronology. The obits of another have been retained, so far as they could be read by the transcriber; because it is possible that one or other of them may determine the date of some particular fact. For instance, we know floor the Saxon Chronicles that the battle of M alden was fought in the year 993, and we ascertain what is not mentioned by our historians, from fie obit of Byrhtnoth that it took place on the eleventh of August.
