Summary:

This scholarly work, part of the Canterbury and York Series, Volume XVI, is an edited register of John White, Bishop of Winchester, encompassing the years 1556-1559. Edited by W.H. Frere, it provides a detailed historical account of ecclesiastical and administrative activities during Bishop White’s tenure, including enthronement acts, commissions, and institutional records. The text reflects the transitional phase of the English Church under the Marian restoration, marked by the return to Latin rites and the revival of monastic practices. It highlights the political and religious shifts during this period, including changes in patronage and the bishop's eventual deprivation following the Elizabethan reforms. Aimed at historians and scholars of church history, the register offers valuable insights into the governance of the Diocese of Winchester and the broader ecclesiastical landscape of 16th-century England.
