Injunctions of Archbishop Kilwardby, 1276.

Bookseller Notes

With an inscription by Garrod at the head of the front cover: 'J.C.M. from H.W.G.' - the likely recipient being the intelligence officer and academic, J.C. Masterman (Provost of Worcester College following World War Two).At one-time a colleague of Tolkien and an adversary of Housman, Garrod was a classical and literary scholar and an entrenched Mertonian - the ODNB describes him as having 'rarely moved further afield than Blackwell's bookshop; there his figure was well known'. This, his Introductory Note states, is the first printing of this interesting document from the College's history.
