Mediaeval Archives Of The University Of Oxford, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint) 12+

📓 Excerpt from Mediaeval Archives Of The University Of Oxford, Vol. 1Of the next deed there are two versions, one (pix P. Xii. I) was issued by the legate at Sempringham on June 20, the other/(pix P. Xii. 3) at Ramsey on June 25. It is not easy to see why a second version was necessary; it difi'ers from the first in only two points that matter; the earlier deed had mentioned that the payment of 523. A year and the feeding of 100 scholars, which the legate had imposed upon the bur_gesses, might be performed by another in their place, as was subsequently carried out, but the later version, to our surprise, makes no mention of this scheme. Also the earlier deed said that the 'commune' of Oxford was to take an oath binding themselves and also their heirs 'as far as they can' to observe the conditions laid down by the legate, but the later deed 0mits the words in inverted commas.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
