Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich archival resources of Magdalen College, Oxford, to unravel the history of the 13th-century Augustinian Priory at Selborne. The extensive collection of deeds and documents preserved at the college provides a unique insight into the lives of the canons, their finances and governance, as well as the impact of the priory on the surrounding community. The author presents a vivid and detailed account of the priory's foundation by Peter de Roches, Bishop of Winchester, in 1233, and traces its development over the following centuries. The book explores the priory's relationship with local landowners and its role in the wider ecclesiastical landscape of medieval England. It sheds light on the internal workings of the priory, including the daily lives of the canons, their spiritual practices, and their interactions with the outside world. By drawing on a wealth of primary source material, this book offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of monastic life in medieval England and provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of a long-lost religious institution.
