Notes:

Two distinct collections, the first by William Fulman, published under the auspices of Bishop Fell, the other by Thomas Gale, usually treated as complementary to the former.

1. Rerum anglicarum scriptorum veterum tom. I. 1684.

The works attributed to Ingulf, and Peter of Blois are both forgeries of the 14th century.

2. Half-title: Historiae britannicae et anglicanae scriptores XX. Duobus voluminibus comprehensi.

[Vol. 1] Historiae britannicae, saxonicae, anglo-danicae scriptores XV. Ex vetustis codd. mss. editi opera Thomae Gale ... 1691.

Vol. II. Histori anglican scriptores quinque. Ex vetustis codicibus mss. nunc primum in lucem editi. vol. II ... 1687.

The authorship of the "Itinerarium regis Anglorum Richardi" is now ascribed to Ricardus, canonicus S. Trinitatis Londoniensis.
