‎Summary The Anglo-Norman Bible's Books of Kings open with the death of King David and the resulting succession crisis. They relate many familiar stories including the episode of the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon, the building of the temple, the ministry and miracles of the prophets Elijah and Elisha and, finally, the destruction of the temple and the fall of Israel and Judah. The text of the ANB's Books of Kings is extant in two mid-fourteenth century English manuscripts: British Library Royal 1 C III (L) and Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, MS français 1 (P). L, a modest production, belonged to Reading's Benedictine abbey before entering the royal library in 1530 and is particularly notable for its use of glossing in French, Middle English and Latin, throughout the manuscript to clarify the Anglo-Norman text. P is an illustrated manuscript commissioned for the fifth baron de Welles, John, by his mother, Maud, daughter of William, Lord Ros. The Welles-Ros manuscript later passed into the ownership of Louis XII of France.
