This volume was part of an endeavour to calendar the Episcopal records at Lincoln for the period 1545 to 1660. Unfortunately the act books of the bishops during the greater part of that time have been lost and the chronicle of events which they recorded has had to be reconstructed from other sources. A volume dealing with the years 1547 to 1570 had been intended to be the first of a series, but it was found impossible to collect the necessary materials. The sources from which this volume has been compiled are listed above. The original intention was to print no more that the bishop’s Act Book and Register, with the Libri Cleri of 1576 and 1580, but it soon became clear that the Act Book was by no means complete, and other records were included with a view to supplement its deficiencies.
