DESCRIPTION:What clues do we have to help us tell the stories of people wh
 o lived hundreds of years ago? This paper traces the journey of a 13th-cen
 tury manuscript at Cambridge University Library (Gg.6.42) from Cirencester
  Abbey in Gloucestershire to Malmesbury Abbey in Wiltshire. At first glanc
 e\, this book would seem to be a dead end for learning about the mysteriou
 s Geoffrey who wrote it in the 1240s. We will see how it is possible to co
 mbine textual\, material\, and archival evidence to identify this person a
 nd discover a story of political intrigue that surrounds this book.
LOCATION:The Richard King Room\, Darwin College
