An introduction to the entire Convocation Records of the Church of
England, offering an invaluable survey of this important source.
The convocation records of the Churches of England and Ireland are
the principal source of our information about the administration of
those churches from middle ages until modern times. They contain
the minutes of clergy synods,the legislation passed by them, tax
assessments imposed by the king on the clergy, and accounts of the
great debates about religious reformation; they also include
records of heresy trials in the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries,many of them connected with the spread of Lollardy.
However, they have never before been edited or published in full,
and their publication as a complete set of documents provides a
valuable resource for scholarship. The introductory volume presents
both a chronological and a thematic survey of the English
convocations from 1313 to the mid-nineteenth century, with a
postscript bringing the account up to the present day. The
chronological survey gives a detailed account of each individual
convocation; the thematic survey explains the pattern of
membership, the procedures and functions of the convocations and
their relationship to other legislative institutions both at home
and abroad. Detailed statistics, in tabular form, support the
earlier sections, and the volume also includes a complete
concordance to David Wilkins' Concilia Magnae Britanniae et
Hiberniae, for which this edition of the convocation records is a
partial replacement.
