Yes, but he wrote a genealogy of Christ that survives in quite a few illuminated
versions, interestingly in the form of a rotulus rather than a codex. I was fascinated
to see this in the diocesan library of York Minster, when the librarian unrolled a 14th-
century version of it for me on the floor of the library!
