'Grace books' were the volumes in which scribes recorded decisions
of the administration of the University of Cambridge during the
fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Many of the 'graces' concern the
conferral of degrees on individuals, but others refer to more
general University business including appointment of teachers and
preachers, leaves of absence, inventories and financial records,
and the resolution of disputes. Grace Book B, Part 2 covers the
years from 1511 to 1544. This transcription was first published in
1905 with an introduction by Mary Bateson of Newnham College which
explains the terminology and the administrative systems underlying
it, and the changes they underwent during this period. The Latin
documents transcribed in this publication constitute a valuable
source for those researching British history and institutions in
the early Tudor period, and this reissue will make them readily
available to scholars today.
Professor F. W. Maitland was the foremost Victorian scholar on
English legal history, and Mary Bateson a Cambridge medieval
historian. This 1901 volume was edited for the Corporation of
Cambridge and the Cambridge Antiquarian Society. It provides a
transcript and translation of the royal charters issued to the
borough of Cambridge between the twelfth and the seventeenth
centuries. Maitland lays stress on the considerable independence
the medieval borough had. It was largely self-governing, royal
charters bestowing or confirming liberties rather than regulating
the town governance or providing a constitution. However, there
were some limitations, chiefly relating to justice, for which royal
permission was needed. It was not until the late seventeenth
century that royal authority began to tighten its control of
borough affairs. The introduction explains the conventions of such
charters, and how the reader should interpret the information
contained therein. A valuable source of local history with wider
significance.
