A meticulously researched and deeply informative study of the papal provisions system in medieval England, 'Papal Provisions in the Diocese of Exeter' sheds light on a complex and little-understood aspect of ecclesiastical politics and administration. Drawing on original documents and archival sources, Joseph Lawrence Shaw traces the emergence, evolution, and impact of papal provisions in the diocese of Exeter, and highlights the ways in which this system affected the lives and careers of bishops, priests, and laypeople alike.
