The register of St Osmund (d.1099), compiled in the thirteenth
century, contains documents collected during his earlier episcopacy
at Sarum (now Salisbury). These documents include charters and
rules set in place by him for use by the cathedral. This two-volume
edition, published between 1883 and 1884 by William Henry Rich
Jones (1817-85), provides a thematically organised transcript of
the Latin manuscript with English side-notes throughout, and it
complements his edition of other medieval documents relating to
Salisbury (also reissued in this series). Volume 2 contains
transcripts of charters and documents relating to the cathedral,
and is distinguished by its extensive introduction and glossary.
The introduction covers the history of Sarum from 1070 to 1229 and
is summarised in a chronological abstract. An exhaustive index to
both volumes, covering events, people and places, is also provided.
