This two-volume work forms part of a series of scholarly editions
of chronicles and other original documents relating to British
history from the Roman invasion to the reign of Henry VIII,
commissioned by the Master of the Rolls in the mid-nineteenth
century. The documents are reprinted in Latin or Middle English,
with summaries of their content. Each volume contains a thorough
and invaluable preface, placing the documents in historical context
and describing the location and condition of the original
manuscripts. Volume 2, edited by Richard Howlett and published in
1882, is concerned with the 'decadence and fall of the
Franciscans'. The documents relate to the emerging conflict of
English Minorites with other monastic orders, such as the
Benedictines of Westminster in 1290; divisions within the Order
itself; and the impact of the religious persecutions of the
Reformation. The book also includes an appendix of related original
documents.
