Part of the Rolls Series of publications of historical documents in
the public domain, this two-volume collection, published 1862 6,
brings together the most interesting and important correspondence
of Henry III, his Court, the nobility and bishops. Transcribed from
the fragile originals in the Public Record Office, the letters are
given in the original Latin. A chronological table provides dates
and details of each letter with a short summary of its contents in
English. The editor, Walter Waddington Shirley (1828 66), started
his academic career as a mathematician, and ended it as Regius
Professor of Ecclesiastical History and Canon at Christ Church,
Oxford. This volume covers the period of Henry's reign to 1235. The
letters offer insights into Henry's foreign and domestic policy and
show the boy king coming of age and making his mark on his realm.
