Description
Volume XXI 1513–1521, Leo X, Lateran Registers Part Two. This volume is part of a series of calendars of entries in the papal registers of letters in the Vatican Apostolic Archives. The present volume covers the second and final tranche of the Lateran Registers for the pontificate of Leo X (1513–1521) and brings to light a great deal of biographical and topographical information illustrating the ecclesiastical landscape of the British and Irish islands. It includes provisions to a number of bishoprics and archbishoprics including Ardee, Ardagh, Armagh, Carlisle, Derry and Worcester; and to monasteries including Canon Island, Dryburgh, Kelso and Scone. Large numbers of obscure parochial clergy, rectors, vicars and chaplains are also mentioned. These are the working documents of the Church about the time of the publication of Luther’s 95 Theses. This book is an essential companion to volume XX in the series.
