Decorated Initial And Ownership Inscription, In Simeon Of Durham's 'History Of The Church Of Durham'
View through Europeana Collections
Simeon of Durham (c.1070-c.1130) was precentor of
the monastic cathedral of Durham. He based his 'History of Durham'
on the writings of Bede, an anonymous Northumbrian chronicler,
Florence of Worcester, and on his own knowledge. This manuscript
was apparently produced at Durham, as its artist decorated some
other Durham books. Fairly soon after, however, it was acquired by
Fountains Abbey, about 50 miles south in Yorkshire. In the top
right-hand corner of the page is the Latin ownership inscription:
'The book of St. Mary's, Fountains'
