The present work exposes the forgery of a thirteenth- or fourteenth-century chronicle of the Anglo-Saxon Abbott Ingulf (d. 1109), first printed in Sir Henry Savile’s Rerum Anglicarum Scriptores Post Bedam (1596, Richard Crakanthorpe’s copy, Bib# 4102716/Fr# 156 in this collection). Searle provides a manuscript history and scholarly reception of the Ingulf chronicle and concludes that the work must have been composed between 1182 and 1450.
