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 1. Volume 3 contains
letters 562-720, from July 1284 to July 1292. Topics include
Anglo-Welsh relations and disputes between the Franciscans and
other orders at Oxford. Appendix 2 contains an abstract of the
entire register, describing the documents left out of this edition.
Also provided is an index to the entire work.
