- Title page transposed: imprint date appears after Hodgkinson's name.
- Based on an earlier work by Roger of Wendover also known as "Flores historiarum", probably based in turn on an earlier St. Albans chronicle. Cf. Vaughan, Richard.
- "A composite chronicle, containing the St. Albans compilation to the end of 1188, Roger de Wendover's chronicle, 1189-1235, both revised by Paris, and his own work from 1235 to 1259."--Dict. nat. biog.
- ESTC gives editor as Matthew Parker.
- The first leaf bears half-title, "Matthæi Parisiensis opera", on recto and portrait of the author, signed "T. Cecill sculp:", on verso.
- The Vitae duorum Offarum et viginti trium Abbatum Sancti Albani has special t.p. and separate paging, with imprint: Londini : Excudebat Milo Flesher, prostant apud Cornelium Bee & Laurentium Sadler ..., 1639. The authorship of this work is uncertain; only part, if any, is by Paris. The Additamenta also has a special t.p. with imprint: Londini : Excusum typis Mil. Flesher, 1639.
- The continuation ascribed to Rishanger (p. 989-1009) covers the period from 1259 to 1273.
