Excerpt from Balliol College
My grateful thanks are due to the Master and Fellows of Ba'lliol, first in their collective capacity, for allowing me a complete freedom of access to their records, and secondly as individuals, for the great kindness which they have shown on many occasions in answering a number of very tedious questions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the founding and early history of Balliol College, Oxford, from its establishment in 1266 up to the 16th century. The author argues that Balliol alongside Merton was one of the earliest examples, in England, of endowed foundations to promote the pursuit of learning. This book places the foundation of Balliol within its wider context, demonstrating that it sits at the heart of the development of the collegiate system at Oxford, and exploring the wider cultural and political significance of Oxford during this period. The book discusses the key figures involved in the college's foundation and development, including the foundress, Dervorguilla of Galloway, and the Franciscan friar Richard of Slickburne. It also sheds light on the social and academic life of the college in its early years, exploring the statutes that governed the scholars and their daily routines. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of Oxford University, the history of education, and the role of the Church in medieval England.
