This article discusses a hitherto unpublished version of William FitzStephen's twelfth-century 'Description of London' incorporated in a late fourteenth-century common-place book of London origins, and its variations from other texts. A suggestion as to the book's unnamed owner's identity is put forward and his career examined. The possible significance of the inclusion of the text in a common-place book of the period is discussed in the context of recent writing on London foundation myths
