Errors in paging.

"Vitae dvorvm Offarvm ... et viginti trivm abbatvm Santi Albani" has separate paging.

The authorship of this work is uncertain; only part, if any, is by Paris.

"A composite chronicle, containing the St. Albans compilation to the end of 1188, Roger de Wendover's chronicle, 1189-1235, both revised by Paris, and his own work from 1235-1259" - Dict. nat. biog.

The continuation, ascribed to Rishanger (p. 666-680) covers the period from 1259-1273.
