Edition, with full notes and apparatus, of a text which sheds much
light on university affairs at the time. The Warden's Punishment
Book is a record of punishments imposed on the Fellows of All Souls
College, Oxford, for minor infringements of the statutes and of
College discipline, from its inception in 1601 until 1851. It is a
uniquedocument in terms of its scope and detail among the College
records of Oxford and Cambridge and provides significant insights
into the daily life and personal relationships of such an
institution during the early modern period. This volume presents an
edition of the text of the Punishment Book, with a substantial
biographical register detailing the careers of those mentioned as
punishers or punished. An introduction explains the significance
and context of the Punishment Book within collegiate, university,
and social history. Scott Mandelbrote is Fellow, Perne Librarian,
and Director of Studies in History at Peterhouse, Cambridge, he was
formerly Fellow and Sub-Warden of All Souls College, Oxford; John
H.R. Davis is an Honorary Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, of
which he was Warden between 1995 and 2008. He is an anthropologist
and was Professor of Social Anthropology at the Universityof
Oxford, and, before that, at the University of Kent at Canterbury.
