Opis

The annual expenditure accounts recorded in this Register provide a complete picture of a Cluniac monastery during its last 60 years. Part 2 publishes the accounts for the years 1518-1540 and also contains biographical and other appendices and full indexes. Part 1 (019-7261604), which covers the period 1482-1517, and Part 2 together provide an invaluable resource for historians of Norfolk and of monastic life in the run up to the Reformation.

Recenzje

a comprehensive account of the total outgoings of the community over a period of nearly sixty years ... There is an enormous amount of detail about the provisioning of the monastic community ... The editorial work is of a very high standard ... A fine piece of work in its own right, this edition will be one of the most important building blocks when the history of the last century of English medieval monasticism, so curiously neglected in recent enthusiastic reassessments of the pre-Reformation church in England, comes to be written.
