John Lydford's Book

This is the first modern edition of a manuscript discovered among Exeter diocesan documents in 1960. Comprised of notes on canon law, the book was originally compiled by John Lydford (d. 1407) whose career included acting as William Wykeham’s official at Winchester and as an assessor in the Blackfriars council in 1832 when Wyclif and his followers were condemned. Text in Latin, with notes and index. Slightly off-mint.

Full publisher description
John Lydford was a fourteenth-century canon lawyer and cleric who acted as an advocate in the church court at Canterbury and held various official positions in the English church. He left a book of notes and documents relating tocanon law, which are edited here with an introduction. Its contents include legal formulas for use in court cases, notes about points of law, and records of particular cases drawn from the church courts of Oxford, Hereford, Winchester and Exeter. John Lydford's book therefore offers an unusual insight into the workings of the medieval English church and its courts.
