Wynkyn de Worde (d. 1534) was an Alsatian printer and stationer who became apprenticed to the noted printer William Caxton. On Caxton's death in 1491, de Worde (a placename from his home city of Worth), took over the business and became a successful printer in his own right. The Chronicle of St. Albans is a history of the abbey of St. Albans in Hertfordshire, England, originally founded in 794 and refounded in 969, supposedly on the site of the martyrdom of St. Alban, the British protomartyr. The abbey was a center of great learning, noted for the chroniclers Roger of Wendover, Matthew Paris, William Riskanger, and Thomas Walsingham, who by turns wrote a continuous history of the abbey and of its role in the history of England. de Worde's edition is printed with manuscript additions.
