Collective Memories in Salisbury Cathedral Library and Archives, 1200 to 1600 (original) (raw)

Abstract

Remaining in situ since the foundation of the new cathedral in Salisbury in 1220 are countless documents, manuscripts, and fragments that testify to the dynamism and impact of the medieval ecclesiastical institution. The diplomata and cartularies illustrate the history of each aspect of the chapter's governance, worship, and administration through the centuries. The manuscripts testify to the pastoral and intellectual work of the canons, and illuminate those texts that were held in especial esteem. This book celebrates the still living legacy of the archives and library, and investigate the rich record of the canons' collective memories.
