The White Book (Liber Albus) of Southwell by Michael Jones

First complete edition of an invaluable and extensive collection of medieval documents.
These volumes deserve to be widely used and plundered, and doubtless will be* ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW *
This is an exemplary edition.It is very satisfactory that at last there is an authoritative source for historians wishing to check a point of detail concerning the history or constitution of the Southwell chapter. * THE RICARDIAN *
Editing this manuscript has been an important, and challenging undertaking, in terms of size, date and range of documentation. The expertise of the several editors here is very much apparent. -- Northern History
Trevor Foulds is a medieval historian. He edited the cartulary of Thurgarton priory (1994) and is one of the co-editors of the 'Liber Albus', the cartulary of Southwell Minster (2018). DAVID CROOK, now retired, spent his working life in The National Archives, where he became immersed in the extensive surviving early records of the English royal administration and common law. From those sources have emerged important findings which may identify a real criminal as the original of the legendary English outlaw Robin Hood.
