《马修·帕里斯大年史》（约1200 - 59年）是研究13世纪欧洲的重要资料。本文探讨其编撰和年代。之前的许多学术研究都基于这样的假设，即文本的第一部分，即温多弗罗杰的弗洛雷斯历史的修订版，涵盖了从创世到1235年的时间，与马太对它的延续（延伸到1250年）是在同一时间写成的。文本、法典学和古生物学证据表明，情况并非如此。马修起初只打算修改弗洛雷斯，后来才扩大到成为年表。本文还提出证据表明马太福音的延续始于1247年。《大年史》复杂的写作过程为中世纪作家撰写大型项目提供了难得的见解。
ABSTRACT The Chronica majora of Matthew Paris (c.1200–59) is a vital source for the study of thirteenth-century Europe. This article explores its compilation and dating. Much previous scholarship has rested on the assumption that the first part of the text, a revision of the Flores historiarum of Roger of Wendover covering the years from the Creation to 1235, was written at the same time as Matthew’s continuation of it (stretching to the year 1250). Textual, codicological and palaeographic evidence suggests that this was not the case. Matthew at first intended only to revise the Flores, and only later was it extended to become the Chronica majora. This article also puts forward evidence that Matthew’s continuation was begun in the year 1247. The complex compositional process of the Chronica majora offers rare insight into the methods available to medieval authors charged with writing large-scale projects.
