English Episcopal Acta 34, Worcester 1186-1218 cover

This volume completes the publication of acta from this diocese. It contains full editions of the surviving documents of seven bishops and charts a period of building work, the canonisation of an earlier bishop, Wulfstan, and includes the documents of a future archbishop of York, Walter de Gray. The introduction discusses the Statuta of Bishop Henry and the Decreta of Bishop John. This volume is of value to all those interested in medieval England as well as to those with particular interests in the history of Worcestershire, Gloucestershire or Warwickshire.

A fine contribution to a fine series, fitting memorial to the scholarship of Mary Cheney. * Nicholas Vincent, University of East Anglia. *
a lasting tribute to the industry, learning, and vision of Mary Cheney and to the no less than sterling efforts of the volume's co-editors. * H. F. Doherty, English Historical Review *
