Chronicon Angliae Petriburgense

Not to be confused with the Peterborough Chronicle, which is a manuscript of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, or Chronicon Petroburgense.

The Chronicon Angliae Petriburgense is a 14th-century chronicle written in Medieval Latin at Peterborough Abbey, England. It covers events from 604 to 1368, although the original medieval portion concludes with an entry for 868; the later continuation was added in the 17th century. The text survives within a composite manuscript volume in the British Library, shelfmark Cotton Claudius A. v, where it occupies folios 2–45. An early printed edition appeared in 1723, prepared by Joseph Sparke as part of a collection of English historical works.
