- Additional information
- This two volume work is a single output providing complete documentation of the diocese of Coventry and Lichfield from 1215 to 1256 with a single introduction for both volumes. Approximately 60% of the work in English Episcopal Acta 43 was undertaken by Hoskin. She researched and wrote 100% of the 30,000 word introduction. In addition, she was responsible for researching and adding 75% of the contextual dating and contextual notes, and for finding and adding c.60% of the references to lost acta (the starred numbers in the text). She wrote c.50% of the English abstracts for the texts and edited 50% of the texts. She found and completely edited additional documents making up c.10% of the texts, making approximately 50%-60% of the edited texts themselves Hoskin's work.
The two volumes present over 660 episcopal acta from the dioceses of Coventry and Lichfield. The initial draft transcriptions by Denton were completed, analysed and introduced by Hoskin. The introduction to both volumes provides the resulting synthesis of the bishops’ biographies, an account of their households as well as the content and diplomatic of the acta. The acta are provided with English summaries, Latin transcriptions, details about provenance and extant versions, and supplementary analysis.
