The answers he received were written into a slim paper book, which survives in the cathedral archives today. This important medieval document offers unparalleled insight into social life, sexual behaviour, religious belief and practice, and gender relations during a period of religious and political turmoil, revealing how the clergy were disciplined, how English- and Welsh-speakers interacted, and how the congregation experienced worship. It is also a major early source for Welsh naming practices, and a treasure trove of information about local churches and parishes before the Reformation.\u003cbr\u003eThis volume provides a complete scholarly edition, accompanied by a full facing-page translation, introduction and notes; it will be invaluable for experienced researchers and students alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Forrest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0907239870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780907239871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Canterbury \u0026amp; York Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/22\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.20d","brand":"Ian Forrest","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46173249536255,"sku":"9780907239871","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a8ed931f-6a54-439c-89d2-08592bd6a58c.jpg?v=1727180421","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-visitation-of-hereford-diocese-ian-forrest-9780907239871","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
