Antiquitates S. Edmundi Burgi, by John Battely, D.D., Archdeacon of Canterbury (d. 1708).
There is no title. The work goes down to 1267, ending with an extract from Matthew Paris.
It was printed in 1745 together with the Antiquitates Rutupinae of the same writer in a volume entitled Batteleii Opera Posthuma. The MS. begins and ends as does the printed text (pp. 1-114), but does not contain the appendix (pp. 115-164), nor the Plates.
