Reprint, 1861
Edited by the clergyman and historian James Francis Dimock (1810
76) and published in 1864, this life of the twelfth-century St
Hugh, bishop of Lincoln, by his chaplain Adam of Eynsham, is
presented in the original Latin. Completed before 1220, after
Hugh's death in 1200, this is a detailed portrait of the Carthusian
monk, scholar and bishop, by a trusted companion, resulting in an
unusually personal and lifelike depiction of Hugh's character. It
is one of the last and fullest examples of hagiography from the
high middle ages, and is of great interest to historians as Hugh
lived through the reigns of three English kings and was personally
involved in many important events. As well as reporting the
day-to-day activities of a medieval bishop, the text also contains
original material on the foundation of the Carthusian house at
Witham, tales of marvels and miracles, and notices of public
affairs.
