A scholar of Trinity College, Cambridge, who became canon of
Canterbury in 1859, James Craigie Robertson (1813-82) edited this
seven-volume work, published between 1875 and 1885, for the Rolls
Series, but he died while preparing this final volume, which was
completed by Joseph Brigstocke Sheppard (1827-95). Superseding the
earlier work of J. A. Giles, the volumes form a collection of
contemporary Latin lives and letters relating to the life of Thomas
Becket (c.1120-70). Rising through the ranks to become royal
chancellor and then archbishop of Canterbury, Becket fell
dramatically out of favour with Henry II and, on his return from
exile, was famously murdered in the cathedral church at Canterbury.
Following his canonisation in 1173, his reputation grew
considerably throughout western Christendom. Volume 7 comprises a
valuable collection of Latin letters sent by or to the archbishop,
originally gathered together by Alan of Tewkesbury.
