^{page 11 note d} This clause is not marked as a separate paragraph in the Jesus MS. (A); no doubt the omission of the paragraph mark is accidental, as the clause is quite distinct from the preceding one, and for that reason it is here numbered separately. The same applies to par. 24 below.

^{page 24 note 5} A book in the library of Dover Priory (James, Ancient Libraries of Canterbury and Dover, Cambridge, 1903, p. 480, No. 337) contained, curiously inserted among a collection of medical treatises, some Constituciones capituli generalis monachorum, beginning De euisham et de abin[don]. These must have been constitutions issued by the presidents of this Chapter of 1247: apparently we have a fragment of them in No. 9, below.

^{page 28 note 1} A marginal note, illegible.

^{page 28 note 2} Decr. Greg. IX, lib. III, tit. xxxi, c. 24: on which the wording of this statute is based. Cf. the letter below, No. 10.

^{page 28 note 4} Henry of Rushbrooke, 1235–48.

^{page 28 note 5} This papal letter is not in Potthast. There is, however, a similar letter in MS. Lansdowne 397, a formulary from the chancery of Durham Cathedral Priory (it is No. P of the 1421 list, Catalogi Veteres (Surtees Soc. vii.) 124): containing the summa dictaminis of Richard de Pophis, fo. 21—130, and de conclusionibus litterarum que fiunt in causis appellacionum, fo. 188 ff. On fo. 195^V is this letter, beginning: Scribit papa quod servetur statutum contra eiectos de mon[asteriis] : its variations from the letter above will be given in the following footnotes thus (L).

^{page 30 note 4} This reference enables us to identify the interesting but much damaged statutes on studies and fugitives, with their ambiguous heading, Addicio statutorum apud Norhampton, from Worcester, MS. C 875a (No. 9 above) as belonging to the Chapter at Northampton, 12 March, 1247.

^{page 30 note 5} Colne was an East Anglian cell of Abingdon, hence the employment of its prior as a messenger from the abbot of Abingdon to Bury.

^{page 30 note 6} Sic MS.

^{page 31 note 1} This is given in the chronicle, under the year 1249, and so corrects the scribe's blunder of 1269, as the date of the statutes, in the Additamenta, see below, p. 34.

^{page 34 note 1} lxix^oMS.: obviously a scribe's blunder for xlix^o. See date in text and entry in Matth. Paris' Chron. Maj. (No. 12).

^{page 45 note 23} Rubric.

^{page 45 note 24} Cf. statutes of 1249 (No. 13), par. 4.

^{page 46 note 1} A manuscript from Westminster Abbey, containing several treatises on the composition of letters and legal documents, with the following rubric: Iste libellus est ecclesie beati Petri Westmonasterii ex procuracione fratris Willelmi de Hasele, reservato inde eidem W. quo ad vixerit usufructu, de licencia domini abbatis et conventus.

^{page 46 note 2} Abbot of Westminster, 1246—58.

^{page 46 note 3} The statutes published were doubtless those of the 1249 Chapter. The refusal of the Convent of Westminster, at first, to admit them, was perhaps not a matter of constitutional principle, but rather due to personal feeling against the abbot who introduced them: we know that there was a quarrel, from independent causes, between them, which began in 1249 and was healed in 1252 (Paris, Matthew, Chron. Maj., V, 83)Google Scholar (dissensio ‥ in totius ordinis nigri scandalum et opprobrium); Flete, , History of Westminster Abbey (ed. Robinson, J. A., Cambridge, 1909), 109Google Scholar; Pearce, , Monks of Westminster (Cambridge, 1916), 49Google Scholar; Westlake, H. F., Westminster Abbey (London, 1923), I. 79–83Google Scholar) The abbot of Bury St. Edmunds was at the time one of the presidents, as appointed in the Chapter of 1249.

^{page 47 note 1} So it seems to the editor: but Mr.Bloom, J. H. reads materie lectionem (Worcester Charters, Worcester Historical Society, 1909, p. 173)Google Scholar.

^{page 48 note 1} John de Felda, 1243–63.

^{page 48 note 2} Richard de Crokesley, 1246–58.

^{page 48 note 3} Edmund de Walpole, 1248–56.

^{page 49 note 1} sic : evidently a blunder for provinciam.

^{page 49 note 2} extra added in margin.

^{page 49 note 3} perhaps for diffinire.

^{page 49 note 4} perhaps for diffiniamus.

^{page 49 note 5} interlin. above rei expunged.

^{page 49 note 6} against this, a hand pencilled in margin.

^{page 50 note 1} T begins as follows (rubric partly cut off by binder): Ne viri religiosi [ni]gri ordinis pro [ali]quo se obligent.

¶ Capitulum generale monachorum celebratum fuit apud Oxoniam viii idus Aprilis: In quo statutum est, ne abbates vel priores [etc., as above'].

^{page 50 note 2} Mid-Lent Sunday, 30 Mar. Note the difference as to dates.

^{page 51 note 2} so T: illeg. in W.

^{page 51 note 3} so T: illeg. in W.

^{page 51 note 4} corr. from concistat T: corr. from consistant W.

^{page 51 note 5} add rubric: [Procla]mati in capitulo: om Item T.

^{page 51 note 6} so T: illeg. in W.

^{page 51 note 7} Om T.

^{page 51 note 8} so T: illeg. in W.

^{page 51 note 9} so T : illeg. in W.

^{page 51 note 10} Here T ends.

^{page 51 note 11} Sic.

^{page 51 note 12} A word almost illegible, which may be Hereford, a cell of Gloucester.

^{page 51 note 13} Presumably either Bury St. Edmunds or Peterborough.

^{page 52 note 1} Apparently so in MS. : perhaps meaning “ decrepitude ” ?

^{page 52 note 2} Sic: for Ramsey.

^{page 52 note 3} Sic: probably for Berdeneya, Bardney: it is unlikely that the Benedictine Abbey of Bardsey, off the coast of Carnarvonshire, is intended here.

^{page 52 note 4} Sic: apparently for Athelney.

^{page 52 note 5} Tavistock.

^{page 52 note 6} Probably for Sand well.

^{page 52 note 7} Probably for Luffield.

^{page 53 note 1} MS. Exon.

^{page 53 note 2} These statutes are crowded in at the foot of the roll, in a smaller hand than that of the preceding matter (Nos. 19, 20).

^{page 55 note 6} The statutes of 1277 (loc. cit.)have ut spiritualis profectus effectum (etc.).

^{page 56 note 4} John de Hertford, abbot of St. Albans, 1235–60. St. Albans is very frequently represented by the letter N in this Register.

^{page 56 note 5} Richard de CyceStre, 1238–61.

^{page 56 note 6} This quotation looks like a combination of par. 1b of the 1249 statutes with par. 1 of the 1253 statutes : but it may have been taken from some earlier statutes now lost.

^{page 57 note 1} nunquam MS.

^{page 57 note 2} so MS. : et would perhaps be better.
