Short Latin chronicle of Scottish history, the earliest of its kind, which is preserved in a single manuscript (BNF lat. 4162, or the Poppleton MS). The core of the text, which takes its structure from a regnal list, covers the period between the reigns of Cináed mac Ailpín (d. 858) and Cináed mac Maíl Choluim (d. 995), who appears to have been still alive when his reign was added. The form in which this text has come down, however, is in a later redaction, possibly of the 12th century, surviving in a 14th-century manuscript.
Latin chronicle compiled between the late 14th and early 15th century, which though left incomplete, aimed at describing a full history of Brittany. It incorporates a wide range of sources, including historical, hagiographical and archival materials. The work is anonymous and may have been written and compiled by Hervé Le Grant, a Breton notary with access to ducal archives.

An abridged recension of the Historia Brittonum, commonly termed ‘Gildasian’ or ‘pseudo-Gildas’ because of its erroneous attribution to Gildas. It is close to the Harleian recension of the text and was in wide circulation during the later middle ages, from the 12th century onwards, so much so that David Dumville has called it the ‘vulgate’ recension.

Latin rendering and continuation of Eusebius’ Ecclesiastical history. The work was undertaken at the beginning of the 5th century by Rufinus at the request of bishop Chromatius of Aquileia. Although Jerome had created a translation prior to Rufinus, it was mainly through Rufinus’ translation that Eusebius’ history became known to the early medieval West.
