The present volume contains the first complete edition of the historical texts in the Syon Abbey Martiloge, an important source for all those interested in the fates of the English Birgittine house. Founded in 1415 by Henry V, Syon Abbey was an important factor in English political and cultural life in the Late Middle Ages. Just as other Birgittine monasteries around Europe, Syon housed both brother and sisters in separate sections. Among the first Syon sisters we find a number of Swedish nuns who were transferred from Vadstena to England in order to facilitate the start of the new monastery. After the dissolution of the monasteries in the sixteenth century, the exiled community continued its activities abroad. The Martiloge texts edited here were written by a series of Syon brothers and deal with various subjects, for instance the foundation of the monastery and the oaths taken by new members. A central part of the edition presents a Syon obituarium with obits of almost all the members of the monastery until the seventeenth century. Other parts list benefactors and burial places. In addition to the Latin text editions, the book offers a parallel translation into English and a number of commentaries.

St Edmund's Abbey was one of the most highly privileged and wealthiest religious houses in medieval England, one closely involved with the central government; its history is an integral part of English history. This book, the second of two volumes, offers a magisterial and comprehensive account of the Abbey during the latter part of the thirteenth century, based primarily on evidence in the abbey's records (over 40 registers survive). It begins with an account of the two abbots of this period, Simon of Luton and John of Northwold, who showed outstanding ability in steering the abbey through difficult times, including conflict with the Friars Minor in the town, straitened financial circumstances (partly caused by oppressive taxation from king and pope), and domestic issues. This is followed by consideration of such matters as the abbey's mint, its economy, religious, intellectual and cultural life, and the abbey's architecture -- especially the charnel chapel constructed by John, which survives to this day. The monks' dietary regime (with examples of actual recipes from the time) is examined in a detailed appendix.
