1st ed. "Full references are given for establishing the dates and outline of the career of each abbot or prior when known, but the information naturally varies in quantity from the richly documented lists of the Benedictine houses to the lesser cells where only a single name or date may be recorded. In all, some 500 houses are included, and an introduction discusses the nature, use and history of the lists, and examines critically the types of evidence on which they are based." Pp.48/278. Black cloth, d/w very slightly rubbed. VG/VG.
