Matthaei Parisiensis, Monachi Sancti Albani Chronica Majora, covering the years 1216 to 1239, is a pivotal historical chronicle written in Latin by Matthew Paris, a Benedictine monk of St Albans Abbey. This work is a continuation of the earlier chronicle by Roger of Wendover and provides invaluable insight into the political, social, and religious events of 13th-century England and Europe. Matthew Paris, known for his meticulous detail and critical perspective, offers a rich narrative of the reigns of King John and Henry III, the interactions between the English monarchy and the papacy, and the major figures shaping the medieval world.

The chronicle is celebrated for its inclusion of original documents, maps, and illustrations, offering a unique window into the medieval mindset. This edition allows scholars and enthusiasts to engage directly with a crucial primary source, deepening their understanding of the complexities of medieval history and the role of monastic chroniclers in preserving and interpreting the past.
