Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memorials Of The Church Of Ss. Peter And Wilfrid, Ripon, Vol. 1
The present volume is a first instalment of what is intended as a pretty complete collection of original materials for the history of the Church of Ripon and its dependent foundations up to the middle of the sixteenth century, so far as they can be obtained. The 'excerpts' are, as will be seen, mostly from printed sources, but as there is so little to be found about Ripon in the works of our historians and chroniclers, it has seemed worth while to bring that little together. Among these will be found some important extracts from printed and unprinted rolls at the Public Record Office, mostly relating to the privileges of the Archbishops of York in Ripon and in other places. It is impossible to know when such a collection is complete, and absolute completeness is not claimed for this one. But it is hoped that those who are interested in the history of Ripon will here find an acceptable catena. Of authori ties, and the editor will be glad to hear if there be any impor tant omissions. Those omitted passages which have been discovered already, are given in the Appendix, and others might be supplied in an appendix to Volume II.
