Drawings Of A Father And Son, In Geoffrey Of Ufford's Miscellaneous Compilation Of Texts
View through Europeana Collections
Almost nothing is known about Geoffrey of Ufford,
and this appears to be the sole surviving copy of his compilation.
The only clues are his name (there are two places called Ufford,
both in East Anglia: one near Peterborough, the other near
Woodbridge in Suffolk); one of the texts is a chronicle which ends
with the coronation of King Henry II in 1154, and which gives
emphasis to events relating to Thorney, Peterborough, Ramsey, etc..
Taken together, the evidence suggests that the work was composed in
the area of Peterborough in or soon after 1154. The text on this
page is the beginning of an exhortation to study, addressed by a
father to his son. In the roundels the father is shown instructing
the son, who holds a book.
