Winchcombe Annals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Winchcombe Annals, sometimes known as the Later Winchcombe Annals, are a Latin chronicle compiled c. 1240 by an anonymous monk at the Benedictine abbey, Winchcombe Abbey.[1]
The manuscript is damaged and only the portion from 1049 to 1232 remain although it was a longer document. The source material up to 1181 is from the Winchcombe Chronicle and from thereon from another annal. The manuscript also holds pictorial representation of a sun dial,[2] and the twelve winds of Aristotle.[3]
It is currently in the British Library at Cotton MS Faustina B I, fol. 12r–29v.
