Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book consists of 24 volumes containing a wide range of medieval Latin texts from the 12th to the 15th centuries. Most of the works here were written by theologians and religious figures, reflecting the central role of the Church in society at that time. These volumes are significant to scholars today because they offer primary source material for the study of medieval religion. The collection also contains a variety of non-religious works, including legal texts and historical accounts. For example, Volume 21 of the collection is a manuscript of the legal treatise 'De legibus et consuetudinibus Angliae' written by Henry de Bracton in the 13th century. Of particular note is the presence of four volumes that previously belonged to the Minorites of Chester. These volumes may have been donated to the Society by a Ralph Egertone whose name appears on a flyleaf of one of them.
