The earliest extant register for Coventry and Lichfield reveals
important detail on Langton, a key political figure, treasurer of
Edward I and briefly of Edward II, suspended from episcopal office
by Pope Boniface VIII and twice imprisoned. This book is volume one
of a calendar of the episcopal register of Bishop Walter Langton
(1296-1321). Langton's register is important for two reasons: it is
the earliest extant register for the medieval diocese of Coventry
and Lichfield, and it has shed new light on the life of one of the
period's key political figures. The register contains some folios
from an earlier working register, only some entries of which have
been duplicated in the definitivecopy. These have been tabulated in
the introduction, which discusses the arrangement of the whole
register in detail. The register contains hitherto unknown
information concerning both the local and central diocesan
administration, including details of the work of the papal
administrators when Langton was suspended from episcopal office by
Pope Boniface VIII in 1302-3. Moreover, the register has confirmed
that Langton was an efficient and conscientious bishop who
conducted diocesan business himself whenever possible, despite his
personal vicissitudes including two terms of imprisonment, and he
successfully juxtaposed his episcopal and political duties when he
was Treasurer of Edward I, and later briefly Treasurer of Edward
II.JILL HUGHES is a Research Fellow at the University of St

Completes the register of Walter Langton, a leading figure in
political life at the time. Langton's register is important for two
reasons: it is the earliest extant register for the medieval
diocese of Coventry and Lichfield, and it has shed new light on the
life of one of the period's key political figures (Langton was
treasurer of Edward I and briefly of Edward II, suspended from
episcopal office by Pope Boniface VIII and twice imprisoned). This
volume completes the calendar of the register; it chiefly comprises
ordination lists, but also contains charters confirming Langton's
paternity. JILL HUGHES is a Research Fellow at the University of St

The switched-current technique is heralding a new era in analogue
sampled-data signal processing. Unlike switched-capacitor circuits,
switched-current circuits do not require linear floating capacitors
or operational amplifiers and they are giving a renewed impetus to
mixed-signal VLSI on standard digital technology. Key analogue
designers from industry and academia worldwide have contributed to
this first, very timely book entirely devoted to switched current
analogue signal processing. The book introduces the basic
switched-current technique, reviews the state-of-theart and
presents practical chip examples. Numerous application areas are
described, ranging from filters and data converters to image
processing applications. It also gives a very comprehensive
treatment of the fundamental principles of switched-current
circuits and systems. The material in this book will be of benefit
to students, both undergraduate and postgraduate, and researchers
and circuit designers in academia and the electronics industry.
