[continued] Hugh of Saint-Victor’s ‘Chronicle’ (De tribus maximis circumstantis gestorum): Kingdoms of the world

Edited by Lars Boje Mortensen, ‘Hugh of St Victor on secular history. A preliminary edition of chapters from his Chronica’, Cahiers de l’Institut du Moyen-Âge Grec et Latin, 62 (1992) 3–30, 8–18. The second and third columns correspond with p.10 of Mortensen’s primary MS. The first column goes further than first eight kings (all called Ptolemy) under the name Lagide (‘Lagid’ dynasty, an alternative name for the Ptolemaic dynasty), and includes the four rulers (ending with Cleopatra) in the first column of p.11 in Mortensen’s primary MS (under the title Lagide in Egypto) (Mortensen, ‘Hugh of St Victor’, 10–12).

Omitted initial letters (ce in the right margin) in the name of the first king [Ce]crops in the second column are supplied by a later scribe.
