The Historia Croylandensis: A Plea for Reassessment* DAVID ROFFE DAVID ROFFE University of Sheffield Search for other works by this author on: Oxford Academic Google Scholar *I am grateful to the staff of the British Library for access to the manuscripts of the Historia, and to Mrs Christine Butler, the archivist at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, for guiding me through the Fulman papers. I am also indebted to Dr Marjorie Chibnail, Dr Trevor Foulds, Professor Edmund King, Neal Sumner, and Dr Ann Williams for reading and commenting on this article at various stages in its production, and to David Stocker and Paul Everson for generously making available the results of their own research on the Crowland boundary crosses and the wider significance of the foundation of Crowland in advance of their own publications on the subject. All errors remain my own responsibility. Thanks are also due to Shaun Tyas for answering many enquiries of his extensive library when domestic duties precluded a visit to the more usual sources of information, and to Günter and Marlis Maack for providing a quiet haven in which to collect my ideas and commit them to word-Processor.
