Adam of Domerham continued the history of William of Malmesbury from around 1100 to 1300 A.D., but his work is of a very different character, for, as the translator points out, he was a "terrible and untiring teller of twice-told tales" and wrote at "inordinate length." This little book represents some two hundred pages of Adam "set out in a clear and reasonable translation in a manner which shall not be absolutely dull." The present work is a facsimile of the Folk Press edition of 1934.
