Litigating the Climate Emergency
As the climate emergency intensifies, rights-based climate cases – litigation that is based on human rights law – are becoming an increasingly important tool for securing more ambitious climate action. This book is the first to offer a systematic analysis of the universe of these cases known as human rights and climate change (HRCC) cases. By combining theory, empirical documentation, and strategic debate among preeminent scholars and practitione…
Robert Grosseteste as Bishop of Lincoln
Bishops’ registers do not usually get a second chance. Few, once edited, receive another edition. That is too bad, since some registers were edited according to obsolete standards, and some (to be less kind) were edited badly. In one sense, Philippa Hoskin’s new edition of the rolls (often referred to as the ‘register’) of Robert Grosseteste is arguably inferior to the first edition, edited by F.N. Davis and published in 1909–14. Davis’s edition …
Hugh M. Thomas. The Secular Clergy in England, 1066–1216
This book’s title and breadth might suggest a mere survey of its subject. That suggestion misleads. Arguments, some larger, some smaller, drive Hugh M. Thomas’s discussion. Even when these lines of analysis are new, Thomas undertakes them on a much larger scale, often mining an extraordinarily broader array of evidence than heretofore deployed in these matters. The result is much more than a summary of previous scholarship. The consequences of th…
Records of Convocation I
The date and authorship of Robert Grosseteste's Rules for Household and Estate Management
Grosseteste's Rules is canonically dated 1240-2 arguing thus: the countess of Lincoln, for whom the work was written, was a widow since only widows needed a manual concerning matters not pertinent to married noble women. The one widowed countess of Lincoln during Grosseteste's episcopate (1235-53) was widowed in 1240 and remarried in 1242. Given, however, the activities of married noblewomen, and the appearance of other unmarried countesses of Li…
St. Cuthbert and the Normans
Officiales and the familiae of the bishops of Lincoln, 1258–1299
The administrative and judicial explosion of the high and late Middle Ages saw the diocesan officialis among others, leave his bishop's household. This essay examines Lincoln, a well documented diocese, in order to clarify the chronology of this development, which remains unclear in the literature. The witness lists to episcopal acta both in the names they contain and in their internal arrangement, the pattern of correspondence between bishop and…
