`Deserves a resounding welcome from medievalists.' EHR This volume
contains over 250 charters and other documents relating to four of
the six hospitals established in medieval Bury. The core of the
collection is the cartulary of St John's hospital, the domus Dei,
but documentsrelating to the hospitals of St Nicholas, St Peter and
St Saviour are also included. The charters relate mainly to the
endowment of the hospitals by the abbot and convent, but there are
also ordinances for the administration of the hospitals and for the
establishment of chantries therein. The great majority of texts are
presented in the form of a full English calendar, and there are
English summaries of those printed in Latin. This is the first
volume of the Suffolk Charter series to concentrate on Bury St
Edmunds; it will be followed eventually by an edition of charters
relating to the abbey's property in the borough. CHRISTOPHER
