Accounts of the Obedientiars of Abingdon Abbey (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Accounts of the Obedientiars of Abingdon Abbey The collection comprises specimens of the accounts of nearly all the principal officers of the abbey from the year 1322 to the year 1479. It is, of course, a mere fragment of what in its entirety would have been an enormous one. No doubt many rolls perished at the dissolution of the abbey, but it is highly probable that the greater number were destroyed from time to time before that event, as being of no value after the accounts had been settled and forgotten.
