The second of two Chichester volumes presenting Latin Acta, numbered 189 to 344, produced in the diocese during the second half of the 13th century. Bishops John Climping, Stephen Bersted and Gilbert of St Leofard are represented. Appendices include a discussion of the use of the Bishop's Seal and the itineraries of the bishops of Chichester between 1215 and 1305. The first Chichester volume, Volume 22, is also available.
The editor, an old acta hand, has done her work well ... The technical standard of the editing is high and the subject index is a model of its kind ... Philippa Hoskin's edition ensures that we are now as familiar with this diocese, at the time of its greatest distinction, as we are ever likely to be. The Journal of Ecclesiastical History A useful addition to the corpus of printed medieval documentary sources for ecclesiastical historians. Sussex Past & Present
