Documents Illustrative of English Church History: Compiled from Original Sources (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Documents Illustrative of English Church History: Compiled From Original Sources

It was obviously impossible, within a limited space to include all such documents; but we hope that we have given at least the majority of those of primary importance which are of a later date than the Norman Conquest. Our meagre selection prior to that date is to be accounted for by the fact that our original scheme was to include nothing earlier than the year 1066; but, on the suggestion of Dr. Bright, Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Oxford, we have inserted a few more ancient documents which are intimately connected with the great landmarks in our early Church history.

In making our selection we have considered not only general theological students, but also those who may desire to acquaint themselves more fully with Church history at the chief constitutional epochs.
