Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a selection of entries from two medieval University of Cambridge administrative registers spanning 1488-1511. It offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the university during a period of significant transformation and offers insights into the development of collegiate life, the role of religious practices, and the intellectual life of early Tudor England. The text enriches our understanding of the universityâs evolving relationship with the Church, Crown, and city, including the role of the university in national affairs, the challenges of maintaining order, and the financial pressures facing the institution. The registers' detailed accounts of university graces provide a rich source for scholars interested in the governance, social and intellectual life, and material culture of late medieval English universities.
