Editing Roger of Wendover (section)

==Publication history==
Roger's work is known to us through one thirteenth-century manuscript in the [[Bodleian Library]] ([[Francis Douce|Douce]] manuscript 207), a mutilated 14th-century copy in the [[British Library]] ([[Cotton library|Cotton]] manuscript Otho B. v.), and the edition prepared by [[Matthew Paris]] which forms the first part of that writer's ''Chronica Majora''.<ref>See Paris, ed. [[Henry Richards Luard]], [[Rolls Series]], seven volumes).</ref> The best edition of Roger's works is that of [[H. O. Coxe]] (four volumes, London, 1841–44); there is another (covering the material from 1154) in the Rolls Series by H. G. Hewlett (three volumes, 1886–89). Roger wrote on the [[Order of Assassins]] claiming they were situated in [[Tyre, Lebanon|Tyre]] "in Phoenicia, around the bishopric of Antardus". It is presumed he got this information from travellers visiting [[St Albans]] or people returning from pilgrimage to [[Jerusalem]].
