A History of the County of Oxford, Volume X: Banbury Hundred
ISBN: 9780197227282 / Angielski / Twarda / 1972 / 333 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume contains the history of the four large parishes in north Oxfordshire that formed the hundred of Banbury: Banbury, Charlbury, Cropredy, and Swal-cliffe. The four parishes do not constitute a single, compact area, and are linked together because they belonged in the early Middle Ages to the bishops of Lincoln and probably represent ancient estates exempted from royal dues for the benefit of the bishops' predecessors in the see of Dorchester. Banbury itself contains an early castle and represents the successful estab-lishment of a 'new town' in the 12th century. From 1554 to 1832 it...

Oxford City Apprentices, 1513-1602
ISBN: 9780904107258 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 430 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Oxford greatly expanded and flourished under the Tudors, as the reviving University provided a growing body of consumers and trade for shopkeepers and craftsmen. They needed apprentices - and in huge numbers, as the material in this volume demonstrates. It calendars the enrolments of over two thousand apprenticeship contracts made during this period; they are a familiar source for social and economic history and genealogy, but the Oxford material, in both quantity and detail, is quite exceptional. Moreover, sixteenth-century enrolments are much fuller than their more familiar...

ISBN: 9780197227909 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume contains the histories of five ancient parishes in the west of Oxfordshire near the river Thames, comprising the small town of Bampton and some 13 villages and hamlets. Though chiefly looking to markets at Witney and Oxford the area was long dominated by Bampton, the centre of a large Anglo-Saxon estate, site of a late Anglo-Saxon minster, and formerly a market town. A detailed account is given of the town's topography, buildings, and economic developments and the organization of the local landscape from an early date is explored. Most villages were nucleated, and despite some...

James, Brother of Jesus, and the Jerusalem Church
ISBN: 9781498203920 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 342 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. James, Brother of Jesus, and the Jerusalem Church opens fresh ground in our understanding of Christian origins through an exploration of the role of James in the founding of the church. Based on the authors doctoral research, that first Christian church, with its roots in the Baptist movement, is shown to be part of the broad contemporary Judaic movement for the restoration of Israel. The events surrounding the death of Jesus (their leaders brother) both confirmed their commitment to Judaic reform and transformed their understanding of it. Despite the impact of that experience, they seem to...

ISBN: 9781905119141 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Kelmscott Manor is forever linked with the name of William Morris, pioneer conservationist and utopian socialist, designer and father of the Arts and Crafts tradition. The manor played a crucial role in shaping his thought: at the climactic moment of his futuristic novel, News from Nowhere, Morris lifts the latch of the Manors garden gate and finds his personal holy grail. Morris was drawn by the organic relationship between Kelmscott and its landscape: the linkage of stone walls and roof tiles to the geology and the soil, and the honest toil of the people to the agricultural cycle . The...

Oxford Quarter Sessions Order Book, 1614-1637
ISBN: 9780904107227 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Most historical studies of English justices of the peace have concentrated on the work of county commissions, leaving the sparser records of city and borough justices largely neglected. This early order book of the city of Oxford's justices in quarter sessions illustrates the special problems of an urban magistracy in a rather special place, at a time when both university and city were feeling the strain of rapid population growth in a cramped environment. It shows, sometimes in harrowing detail, how the Oxford Bench (an unusual mix of shopkeepers, brewers, lawyers, and university dons)...
