This project will be the first modern edition and the first translation into any language of the CHRONICLE OF ANDRES, a monastery in the Pas-de-Calais in France, from its foundation in 1084 to the death of its author, William of Andres, in 1234. William wrote the chronicle to document the struggle of his monastery to become free of its mother-house, but it also contains the only surviving charters of the house. As William wrote about a region from which few other sources have survived, in a period in which it was bitterly fought over by France and Flanders, and pursued his case through law courts in Paris and Rome, meeting the foremost legal experts of his day, the chronicle is a rich source for the history of medieval society. |
