Summary
Manuscript gathering, written in England in the last quarter of the 13th century, containing part of the Chronicon pontificum et imperatorum of Martinus Polonus and a list of dioceses. The history of the emperors is written on the recto pages and the popes on the verso pages, with running titles Imperatores and Pontifices in the upper margin. The beginning of the chronicle is missing; the extant text begins with Henry V (emperor 1111-1125) and Anastasius IV (pope 1153-1154) and continues to the end of the Chronicon with the death of King Louis (1270) and the accession of Pope Nicholas III (1277). The list of dioceses, written at the same time as the chronicle, is a reference work that appears with chronicles elsewhere; this copy is partial, breaking off in the dioceses of Judea and Palestine (f. 8v). Two continuations in darker ink added later to the chronicle extend the popes through Nicholas III and Martin IV (written after Martin's death in 1285, f. 6r) and Honorius IV (f. 6r) through Clement V (including his condemnation of the Knights Templar in 1311, f. 5v). One of these later hands may also be responsible for manicules and marginal notes in the chronicle, including notes flagging Saint Thomas à Becket (f. 2r), the foundation of the Dominican and Franciscan orders and the canonization of Saint Francis (f. 2v), and the canonization of Saint Clare (f. 3v).
