{"product_id":"lyndwood-william-bishop-of-st-davids-with-acton-john","title":"LYNDWOOD, William, Bishop of St. David's [with] ACTON, John","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"The 'Provinciale' is a digest in five books of the synodal constitutions of the province of Canterbury from the time of Stephen Langton to that of Henry Chichele, accompanied by an explanatory gloss in unusually good Latin, and is the principal authority for English canon law\" (DNB). Lyndwood's work collects the most important ecclesiastical legislation from the province of Canterbury between 1222 up to the time of its writing. It is also supplied with Lyndwood's extensive marginal gloss and an authoritative index. It was completed in 1433, and was first published in Oxford c. 1470-80; it was also printed at Westminster in 1496 with Caxton's cipher and de Worde's colophon. That edition marked the first appearance of John Acton's commentary on the ecclesiastical 'constitutions' of Otho and Ottobone, the papal legates in England in the 14th century, followed by a collection of unabridged provincial statutes of Canterbury; the second work here, which is frequently (and erroneously) attributed to Lyndwood. It is the first major treatise on English Canon Law. These works were often bound together, and were both edited by Jodocus Badius Ascensius, the printer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LYNDWOOD, William, Bishop of St. David's [with] ACTON, John","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57816120492367,"sku":"L614","price":4850.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/2425\/0703\/files\/DSC_00801.jpg?v=1781795294","url":"https:\/\/sokol-books-ltd.myshopify.com\/products\/lyndwood-william-bishop-of-st-davids-with-acton-john","provider":"Sokol Books Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
