First published in 1567 in London. "The Flores historiarum is a composite chronicle of England from the creation to 1326, which was long ascribed to an imaginary person Matthew of Westminster, because the earlier part is largely taken from Matthew Paris and the oldest MS. came from Westminster Abbey"--Sarton III, 944-45.
