A major edition of all the
surviving medieval rolls of parliament: an invaluable resource for
scholars in the field of medieval and parliamentary history.
The rolls of parliament
were the official records of the meetings of the English parliament
from the reign of Edward I (1272-1307) until the reign of Henry VII
(1485-1509), after which they were superseded by the journals of the
lords, and, somewhat later, the commons. The rolls were first edited in
the eighteenth century and published in 1767 in six folio volumes
entitled Rotuli Parliamentorum, under the general editorship of the
Reverend John Strachey. This new edition reproduces the rolls in their
entirety, together with those subsequently published by other editors
(Cole, Maitland, and Richardson and Sayles), as well as a substantial
amount of material never previously published; it is complemented by a
full translation of all the texts from the three languages used by the
medieval clerks (Latin, Anglo-Norman and Middle English). It also
includes an introduction to every parliament known to have been held by
an English king (or in his name) between 1275 and 1504, whether or not
the roll for that parliament survives. Where appropriate, appendices of
supplementary material are also provided, and there is a General
Introduction to the rolls.
