Full Book PDF Download (With Hyperlinks) Manchester Medieval Sources Series series advisers Rosemary Horrox and Simon MacLean This series aims to meet a growing need amongst students and teachers of medieval history for translations of key sources that are directly usable in students’ own work. It provides texts central to medieval studies courses and focuses upon the diverse cultural and social as well as political conditions that affected the functioning of all levels of medieval society. The basic premise of the series is that translations must be accom- panied by sufficient introductory and explanatory material and each volume therefore includes a comprehensive guide to the sources’ interpretation, including discussion of critical linguistic problems and an assessment of the most recent research on the topics being covered. also available in the series Andrew Brown and Graeme Small Court and civic society in the Burgundian Low Countries c. 1420-1520 John H.

  • The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575
    The Implementation and Impact of the Reformation in Shropshire, 1545-1575 Elizabeth Murray A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts United Faculty of Theology The Melbourne College of Divinity October, 2007 Abstract Most English Reformation studies have been about the far north or the wealthier south-east. The poorer areas of the midlands and west have been largely passed over as less well-documented and thus less interesting. This thesis studying the north of the county of Shropshire demonstrates that the generally accepted model of the change from Roman Catholic to English Reformed worship does not adequately describe the experience of parishioners in that county. Acknowledgements I am grateful to Dr Craig D’Alton for his constant support and guidance as my supervisor. Thanks to Dr Dolly Mackinnon for introducing me to historical soundscapes with enthusiasm. Thanks also to the members of the Medieval Early Modern History Cohort for acting as a sounding board for ideas and for their assistance in transcribing the manuscripts in palaeography workshops. I wish to acknowledge the valuable assistance of various Shropshire and Staffordshire clergy, the staff of the Lichfield Heritage Centre and Lichfield Cathedral for permission to photograph churches and church plate. Thanks also to the Victoria & Albert Museum for access to their textiles collection. The staff at the Shropshire Archives, Shrewsbury were very helpful, as were the staff of the State Library of Victoria who retrieved all the volumes of the Transactions of the Shropshire Archaeological Society. I very much appreciate the ongoing support and love of my family.

There have, not unexpectedly, been considerable archival losses too, as some later vacancy inventories at York make clear: the Durham sede vacante register of Alexander Neville (1381) and accompanying visitation records; the York sede vacante register after Neville’s own translation in 1388; the register of Thomas Arundel (only the register of his vicars-general survives today), and the register of Robert Waldby (likewise only his vicar-general’s register is now extant) have all long disappeared.1 Some of these would also have included records of ordinations, now missing from the chronological sequence.

  • The Regulation of Jewish Moneylending in Medieval England
    Const Polit Econ (2010) 21:374–406 DOI 10.1007/s10602-010-9087-3 ORIGINAL PAPER The political economy of expulsion: the regulation of Jewish moneylending in medieval England Mark Koyama Published online: 17 February 2010 Ó Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2010 Abstract This paper develops an analytic narrative examining an institution known as ‘The Exchequer of the Jewry’. The prohibition on usury resulted in most moneylending activities being concentrated within the Jewish community. The king set up the Exchequer of the Jewry in order to extract these monopoly profits. This institution lasted for almost 100 years but collapsed during the second part of the thirteenth century. This collapse resulted in the expulsion of the Anglo-Jewish population. This paper provides a rational choice account of the institutional trajectory of the Exchequer of the Jewry. This account explains why it ultimately failed to provide a suitable framework for the development of capital markets in medieval England. Keywords Taxation Á Usury Á Rent creation Á Parliament ‘If there is one thing about kings…if there is one general thing about them which we seem to learn from the history books, it is that more than not they were hard up…Through their lack of money they have been put in the most desperate straits; savage confiscations of Jews and Templars, civil wars in England and revolutions in France’ John Hicks (1969, 82) 1 Introduction This paper examines the relationship between the state and credit markets—by focusing on a particular case study: the attempt to regulate and tax Jewish M.

This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

The Wiltshire tradesmen appearing in the first and the third sections of this book had all fallen foul of the law and were being dealt with by the royal clerk of the market and the barons of the Exchequer respectively. Those in the second section had entered into recognisances undertaking to keep a particular law—that they would not sell meat in Lent. Those in the final section were licensed by the government to sell a particular commodity—tobacco.

A survey of current scholarship on the Jews in medieval Ireland will be provided and, in so doing, we will reassess a number of sources and revise many of the conclusions drawn from them by previous scholars.

  • Thomas Wolsey's Epistle and Gospel Lectionaries
    THOMAS WOLSEY’S EPISTLE AND GOSPEL LECTIONARIES: UNANSWERED QUESTIONS AND NEW HYPOTHESES1 By James P. Carley Illustrations of the manuscripts discussed in this article can be found in the colour plate section. The history of Thomas, Cardinal Wolsey’s epistle lectionary (Oxford, Christ Church, MS. lat. 101; henceforth ChCh 101) and gospel lectionary (Oxford, Magdalen College, MS. lat. 223; henceforth Magd. 223), perhaps the two finest surviving examples of his cult of magnificence in its final phase, continues to be elusive in spite of all the scholarship devoted to them.2 Much remains unclear about the context of their production, about their intended destination, about where they were stored after Wolsey’s fall, about why they were not destroyed during the Edwardian purges of 1 I first undertook research on these manuscripts when I was preparing a study of The Libraries of King Henry VIII (London, 2000). Subsequently I spoke on them in the Cambridge Seminar on Christianity and the Book, and they became the focus of the fifth in a series of lectures I gave to the English Faculty at the University of Oxford in 2006. Frustrated by the seeming contradictory information they yielded, I put them aside until the autumn of 2014 when my friend Martyn Percy became Dean of Christ Church, Oxford, at which point I became determined to assemble my scattered thoughts as a tribute to him. I am grateful to various people for their assistance over the years: Steve Gunn, Christine Ferdinand, Mirjam Foot, Margaret Goehring, Elizabeth Morrison, Cristina Neagu, Nicholas Pickwoad, Glenn Richardson, David Rundle, David Skinner and James Willoughby.
