About the Authors

This is the first of two volumes, which together form a catalogue of abbots and priors, abbesses and prioresses, of English and Welsh monastic houses between 940 and 1377. This present volume covers the period to 1216, and provides invaluable material for specialists in the period to study the biographies and personalities of the monastic orders, and to date undated documents. First published in 1972, it won international acclaim as a fundamental tool of medieval research. It is now reissued with substantial additions and corrections by Professor C.N.L. Brooke.
- One of the great classic research tools in medieval religious history, dating from 1972 and now reissued in a new edition
- Revised by the distinguished senior historian Christopher Brooke, who was one of the original editors in 1972
- A standard reference work for medieval ecclesiastical and social historians
