Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book contains eleven documents from Winchester Cathedral Library, detailing the steps taken to transform the ancient Benedictine Winchester Priory into a Secular Cathedral after the dissolution of the larger monasteries. These documents show the process by which the Monks were replaced with a body of Canons, and provide a glimpse into the life of the Cathedral during this period of transition. The documents range from the Letters Patent establishing the new foundation to the Statutes for the Dean and Chapter, issued in 1544. They offer insights into the religious and political changes that took place in England during the 16th century, and shed light on the methods used by Henry VIII to consolidate his power over the Church.
