A Franciscan scholar and theologian, John Peckham (c.1230-92) was
appointed archbishop of Canterbury by the pope in 1279. His
register survives at Lambeth Palace and is the chief source for his
archiepiscopacy. This three-volume edition, prepared by Charles
Trice Martin (1842-1914) between 1882 and 1885, rearranges the
documents from their original thematic order to a chronological
one, and omits the purely formal items, published elsewhere. The
text is mostly in Latin, with some Anglo-Norman documents, for
which a translation is provided in Appendix 2. Volume 2 contains
letters 306-561, from August 1282 to June 1284, and the table of
contents provides a useful summary of each letter. Topics range
from purely ecclesiastical matters, such as excommunications and
indulgences, to relations between England and Wales, as well as
anti-Semitic legislation. Appendix 1 contains documents relating to
the priory of Great Malvern.
