ABSTRACT
There are several poems, including two on the preservation of health, and two on historical subjects. An examination of the chronicle’s text reveals one striking feature about the concluding section, which marks it out from the earlier part and from other contemporary works, namely its special concern with ecclesiastical affairs. It is indeed possible that Ive might have been the writer of the final portion of the chronicle, but if one assumes that Gregory had been responsible for the earlier section, or at least that he possessed the manuscript from which the existing one derives, it would perhaps be more likely that the author of the concluding portion had some connection with him, and no such link can be found in Ive’s case. Certainly there are some difficulties concerning Eborall’s possible authorship. The crucial factor in any consideration of the authorship is the combination of ecclesiastical and civic concern in the final section of the chronicle.
