James Raine (1830 96), canon of York, edited in three volumes these
Latin works relating to the diocese, covering the period from 650
to 1522. Volume 2, published in 1886, contains a twelfth-century
history of the four bishops of York from 1070 to 1127 (with
additions to 1153) by Hugh the Chantor, who was precentor of York.
It is an important eyewitness source on the centuries-long dispute
between York and Canterbury. There is also, on the same topic, a
letter from Archbishop Ralph to the Pope, some anonymous lives of
the twelfth-century bishops Thurstan and William FitzHerbert, some
minor lives of St Oswald, and assorted letters. The unpublished
part of a chronicle of the diocese by various authors, including
Thomas Stubbs, covering the fourteenth century to the time of
Cardinal Wolsey, completes the volume. English side-notes to the
Latin text are provided throughout.
