Descriptio Angliae et Genealogiae Regum Angliae

Two tracts - (a) a description of England, in fifteen chapters, compiled in 1445, beginning 'tractatus iste compendiose extractus de diversorum historiographorum diversis ... describit Angliam ... '; (b) a genealogical chronicle in the same hand projected from Adam to Brutus and from Brutus to Henry VI, but in execution brought only to Edward I, with a continuation in a sixteenth century hand to Henry VIII (1518). The pattern of this genealogical chronicle is that of the Promptuarium Bibliae attributed to Petrus Pictaviensis. The text begins 'Adam in agro damasceno ...' (cf. Thomas Jones, Y Bibyl Ynghymraeg (Cardiff, 1940), p. xiii) and has lines added for the Saxons, kings of Britain, princes of Wales, the different divisions of Saxon England, kings of England, princes of Demetia, princes of Venedotia, &c.

The prints include engravings depicting Royalty (ff. 1 verso, 4, 16, 34), topographical and architectural views (ff. 4 verso-111 passim) and female fashions of 1830 (ff. 10 recto-verso, 28 recto-verso). Also included are cuttings of a few ballads (ff. 12, 18, 22 verso, 72) and two 'skit notes' (f. 18). Items found loose inside the volume (19 ff.) have been placed in an archival envelope; these include eleven free fronts, 1828-1837, and three invitations (in French) to the Robinson family to attend events at the French Court in Paris, 1867.
