He recruited qualified staff before settling in the impoverished, war-torn diocese of Carlisle, which had not beenaccustomed to a resident bishop or to a high standard of episcopal government. His professionalism is reflected in the professional quality of his register. Among its contents are a dozen records of matrimonial causes (one Carlisle woman was divorced twice in six weeks); of further social interest are the 59 wills of laymen and beneficed clergy, many of them victims of the second visitation of the Black Death in 1362.    This volume offers a calendarof the whole manuscript, with an appendix of full Latin texts of entries of special interest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdmirable edition, provided with two excellent indices for persons and places and for subjects... sheds valuable light on the workings of the Church in an often murky corner of England. * JOURNAL OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe register; the bishop's audience; wills; the Black Death; editorial method; the register of John Horncastle, bishop-elect, 1353 (nos 1-6); register of Bishop Welton - the main register (nos 7-517), quire of diverse letters (nos 518-604), ordinations of clergy (nos 604-622).","brand":"Boydell \u0026 Brewer Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49406513512791,"sku":"9780907239598","price":23.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780907239598.jpg?v=1730496105","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-register-of-gilbert-welton-bishop-of-carlisle-13531362-9780907239598","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
