The History Of Lambeth Degrees: Sources And Studies (2) (Burgon Society Historical Reprints)

The History of Lambeth Degrees: Sources and Studies brings together some of the principal evidence relating to the character and academic dress of Lambeth degrees, which are awarded by the Archbishops of Canterbury under a statute of 1536. The sources include Francis Gastrell's eigh teenth century attempt to demonstrate that Lambeth degrees were not the equivalent of university degrees, as well as a series of correspondences to journals in the nineteenth century. There is also a handlist of the principal archival holdings of record offices relating to Lambeth degrees. More modern material includes an account of Charles A H Franklyn's views on the nature of the degrees as well as contributions to scholarly journals on their character.
