General Table of the Mirror of History by Vincent.

Preface.

Ornamental capital S with floral/foliate motifs.According to Augustine in the 19th book of The City of God, order is the disposition of equal and unequal things, assigning to each its own place. From this, he concludes that those things which are well ordered and disposed are more easily found in their places. For this reason, so that they might more easily occur to the seeker, we have organized the contents of the Mirror of History so that the diligent reader may search alphabetically according to the number of books and chapters. And if there should be anything in the entire book pertaining to the letter A—whether regarding Adam or another—let him refer to the order of this table beginning with the letter A. The same applies to the other letters contained in the alphabet in order. And if what is sought does not immediately appear at the beginnings of the chapters, let the reader not cease from searching for that reason; for often, under a single chapter title, diverse matters and histories not connected to each other are touched upon. The subjects of this Mirror are further particularized for the readers in the specific tables of each individual book. Thus, let the reader not believe that anything necessary is lacking in this Mirror which the tables themselves do not show, except for the historical matter added for the sake of greater knowledge from the time of Vincent of Beauvais until the present. Because these additions are to be found only in the final book, and may be found more easily by readers through the distinct capital headings, if anything comes to mind to inquire after, I refer the reader there to the text. For the sake of convenience, circumstances required it to be done thus.
