Additional Sources Mentioned in Passing in Holinshed's Chronicles

Additional Sources Mentioned in Passing in Holinshed's Chronicles

CATALOGUE OF ADDITIONAL SOURCES MENTIONED IN PASSING IN HOLINSHED’S CHRONICLES COMPILED BY HENRY SUMMERSON Holinshed’s Chronicles contain many references to sources which do not occur in the list of authors that forms part of the preliminaries. What follows is as complete a list as I have been able to make of those other writers who are named in the text and its margins as having been drawn upon in the compilation of the Chronicles, together with identifications of them and, where these are named or easily found, of their works. Personal names are presented as they occur in the text, in alphabetical sequence and in indirect order, precedence being given to surnames or toponymics. Thus Peter of Ickham occurs under `I’, not under `P’. It is hardly necessary to add that in so enormous a text there are certain to be names and writings which I have overlooked or misidentified – any assistance in detecting error or filling gaps will be gratefully received.
