Excerpt from A Cartulary of the Hospital of St. John the Baptist, Vol. 1 Plate V is more interesting for its contents and for the fact that it can be dated, than for its writing. Plate VI is an early hand of which there are apparently other specimens among the deeds of the Hospital. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Hospital, which had already acquired a quitrent of five shillings on the tenement (see no. Obtained possession, but the rubric of one of the deeds in the Cartulary of St. Asserts that it was aasgue z'usto tz'tulo, at credz'tur. There must have been some composition between the two parties, and until 1338 we find St. Frideswide's in receipt of a rent of seven shillings from two Shops (see no. Which from the rental of 1328 we know to be the two shops under Burwoldscot Hall. The deeds of the Hospital throw no light on this matter, nor do they mention the fact that some of the shops facing the street were not acquired by the Hospital. Of the six shops that fronted High Street, the Hospital had only three. Beginning at the east there was a shop and solar, 13 feet wide according to the survey made in 1772, owned by the Hospital and always leased apart from the rest; then came the passage, 8 feet wide, which led to the Hall at the back; then a shop of New College, 12 feet wide, which on the first floor extended over the passage then two, shops, 20 feet wide, which were acquired by Magdalen in 1602 (see no. One of them having belonged once to St. Frideswide's; then two shops belonging to the Hospital, beneath a Chamber which was part of Broad gates. In Skelton's Oxam'a Antigua (pl. 141) is a plan of Amsterdam about 1730, which Shows the size and position of Broadgates. A deed at Lincoln College says that it was bounded on the north at one part by Oliphant Hall, subsequently part of Lincoln, while deed no. 492 shows that in another part of its northern Side it was bounded in 1469 by Brasenose. The property was sold in 1736 under the Act Of 7 Geo. I, which allowed Colleges to sell tenements to the trustees of Doctor Radcliffe, and was by them transferred to Brasenose College.

Book Description
One of the most unusual contributions to the crusading era was the idea of the leper knight - a response to the scourge of leprosy and the shortage of fighting men which beset the Latin kingdom in the twelfth century. The Order of St Lazarus, which saw the idea become a reality, founded establishments across Western Europe to provide essential support for its hospitaller and military vocations. This book explores the important contribution of the English branch of the order, which by 1300 managed a considerable estate from its chief preceptory at Burton Lazars in Leicestershire. Time proved the English Lazarites to be both tough and tenacious, if not always preoccupied with the care of lepers. Following the fall of Acre in 1291 they endured a period of bitter internal conflict, only to emerge reformed and reinvigorated in the fifteenth century. Though these late medieval knights were very different from their twelfth-century predecessors, some ideologies lingered on, though subtly readapted to the requirements of a new age, until the order was finally suppressed by Henry VIII in 1544. The modern refoundation of the order, a charitable institution, dates from 1962. The book uses both documentary and archaeological evidence to provide the first ever account of this little-understood crusading order.DAVID MARCOMBE is Director of the Centre for Local History, University of Nottingham.

Book Description
Monasticism, in all of its variations, was a feature of almost every landscape in the medieval West. So ubiquitous were religious women and men throughout the Middle Ages that all medievalists encounter monasticism in their intellectual worlds. While there is enormous interest in medieval monasticism among Anglophone scholars, language is often a barrier to accessing some of the most important and groundbreaking research emerging from Europe. The Cambridge History of Medieval Monasticism in the Latin West offers a comprehensive treatment of medieval monasticism, from Late Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages. The essays, specially commissioned for this volume and written by an international team of scholars, with contributors from Australia, Belgium, Canada, England, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and the United States, cover a range of topics and themes and represent the most up-to-date discoveries on this topic.

Book Description
This pioneering volume of essays explores the destruction of great libraries since ancient times and examines the intellectual, political and cultural consequences of loss. Fourteen original contributions, introduced by a major re-evaluative history of lost libraries, offer the first ever comparative discussion of the greatest catastrophes in book history from Mesopotamia and Alexandria to the dispersal of monastic and monarchical book collections, the Nazi destruction of Jewish libraries, and the recent horrifying pillage and burning of books in Tibet, Bosnia and Iraq.
