Beka, John De
, in Latin, Becanus, a
canon of the church of Utrecht, who lived about the middle of the fourteenth century, wrote a chronicle of his
church, embracing its history from St. Willibrod, first
bishop of Utrecht, to 1346. There are various editions of
this chronicle, continued down by another hand to 1393,
the worst of which, according to Vossius, is that of Furmerius, and the best that of Buchellius, Utrecht, 1643, fol.
entitled “De Episcopis Ultrajectinis.” 2
