 Matthew of Westminster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matthew of Westminster, long regarded as the author of the Flores Historiarum, is now thought never to have existed.
The error was first discovered in 1826 by Francis Turner Palgrave, who said that Matthew was "a phantom who never existed," and later the truth of this statement was completely proved by HR Luard.
The name appears to have been taken from that of Matthew Paris, from whose Chronica majora the earlier part of the work was mainly copied, and from Westminster Abbey, where the work was partially written.

There can be no question that Matthew's allegations against the friars and his denunciations of the avarice and tyranical interference of the Roman Court should be received with extreme caution.
The principal sources of information regarding Matthew Paris have all been gathered up in the prefaces of Dr. Luard to his monumental edition of the Chronica Majora in the Rolls Series (1872-83).

 E-Flux : Matthew Barney at ARC - (2002-10-07)
Matthew Barney (born in 1967) launched the cycle in 1994, with the film Cremaster 4 which was followed by Cremasters 1, 5, and 2.
From the beginning, Matthew Barney has shown a preference for malleable materials-petroleum jelly, wax, plastic resin-in a constant oscillation between form and "informe." This is revealed in the work that opens the exhibition, Partition, a bar covered in frozen petroleum jelly, a form of which appears in Cremaster 3.
For his exhibition at ARC in Paris, Matthew Barney has conceived an original presentation that exploits the organic fluidity and circularity of the architecture.

 Slide #225 Monograph
Matthew Paris' world map, unlike his England (Slides #225.2, #225.3), according to Beazley is of small value geographically or cartographically, though it is curiously different from all other medieval designs.
Yet compared to Matthew's England, his surviving mappamundi is a disappointment; and if we were to assume that his wall-maps at Westminster and elsewhere presented merely the same features on a larger scale, there would be less reason, according to Beazley, to regret the loss of these Orbes picti..
The western littoral is scarcely better; England, which Matthew knew so well, is entirely omitted; and it would be difficult to rate the compiler's geography at a high level, if we only possessed this design, and could not also refer to the four maps that he has left us of his native country.

The art of the historian proper, however, gradually began to decline after the death of Matthew Paris.
