Descriptive catalogue of inscriptions in Oxford, from the twelfth
to the sixteenth century. Inscriptions made in the mediaeval city
and university of Oxford have come down to us in many forms and
types of material - stone, glass, wood, metal, paint, ceramics -
even textiles. There are a variety of handwriting styles, and
inscriptions were written in Latin, French, or English. Some can be
seen in their original context, such as the church or chapel as the
donor intended; others have been moved to new locations, often in
order to protect and conserve them; others survive only in the
notes and drawings of long-deceased antiquaries. Now, for the first
time, the richness and variety of mediaeval Oxford's epigraphy are
revealed in this comprehensive catalogue of inscriptions from the
twelfth century to the mid-sixteenth. Each entry includes the type
of artefact, the dimensions where known, the materials and type of
lettering, a description, the text of the inscription (with a
translation of non-English text), a commentary and references to
previous notices. There is a full scholarly introduction, a
selection of illustrations, and a series of indices to facilitate
use of the catalogue. This is the first part of a two-volume work,
the second of which covers the epigraphy of the mediaeval county of
Oxfordshire.
