Introduction to and transcription of earliest surviving Exeter
episcopal register, with modern translation. The earliest of the
Exeter episcopal registers to survive, Bronescombe's is a general
register with a single chronological sequence of letters and
memoranda on many aspects of diocesan administration. It also
contains copies of charters by, among others, king Henry III and
his brother Richard, King of the Romans, in his capacity as Earl of
Cornwall. Volume I of this edition (which supersedes the
unsatisfactory one of 1889) contains a substantial introduction and
a full transcription of the Latin text of folios 2-26, with a
modern translation on the facing pages; it will therefore be of
value to students of medieval Latin as well as ecclesiastical and
legal historians. Two further volumes are to follow. O.F. ROBINSON
is Douglas Professor of Roman Law at the University of Glasgow.
