博客來This volume presents the foundational statutes of Merton College, Oxford, established in A.D. 1270. It also includes subsequent ordinances from Archbishops Peckham, Chichely, and Laud. Translated from the original Latin, the text offers invaluable insight into the governance, academic structure, and daily life of one of Oxford’s oldest and most prestigious colleges.
Researchers interested in the history of higher education, English legal history, or the development of Oxford University will find this a crucial primary source. The statutes reveal the evolving framework that shaped Merton College from its inception, reflecting the social, religious, and intellectual currents of the time. This edition makes these important historical documents accessible to a wider audience.
