Excerpt from The Registrum Antiquissimum of the Cathedral Church of Lincoln, Vol. 1A distinguished German scholar, Dr Walther Holtzmann, until lately a lecturer in the University of Berlin, and now professor of modern history in the University of Halle, has placed me deeply in his debt by reading the proofs of the papal bulls and mandates. Out of his extensive knowledge of the mediaeval papal chancery he has not only made many valuable suggestions, but has also supplied the notes which are printed under his name at the end of some of the bulls. Dr Holtzmann is now engaged in collecting the English material for a critical edition of the papal bulls and letters prior to the year 1198, which the Academv of Gottingen has had in hand since the year 1896.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
