First critical edition and translation of documents crucial to our
understanding of the English Reformation. The English Reformation
began as a dispute over questions of canon law, and reforming the
existing system was one of the state's earliest objectives. A draft
proposal for this, known as the Henrician canons, has survived,
revealing the state of English canon law at the time of the break
with Rome, and providing a basis for Cranmer's subsequent, and much
better known, attempt to revise the canon law, which was published
by John Foxe under the title `Reformatio legum ecclesiasticarum' in
1571. Although it never became law, it was highly esteemed by later
canon lawyers and enjoyed an unofficial authority in ecclesiastical
courts. The Henrician canons and the `Reformatio legum
ecclesiasticarum' are thus crucial for an understanding of
Reformation church discipline, revealing the problems and
opportunities facing those who wanted to reform the Church of
England's institutional structure in the mid-Tudor period,an age
which was to determine the course of the church for centuries to
come.This volume makes available for the first time full scholarly
editions and translations of the whole text, taking all the
available evidence into consideration, and setting the `Reformatio'
firmly in both its historical and contemporary context. GERALD BRAY
is Anglican Professor of Divinity at Beeson Divinity School,
Samford University.
