The Title-Page and Illustrations to the Monasticon Anglicanum 1655–1673
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 April 2011
Extract
On the printed title-page to the Monasticon are the names of Roger Dodsworth and William Dugdale. The main body of the work was divided into sections, each dealing with a monastic order and the edifices which had belonged to it. It was Dugdale who commissioned Wenceslaus Hollar and his pupil Daniel King to make views of the cathedrals and churches for this enterprise. Since the development of the monasteries and the Church of England were inextricably mixed, this vast book in three folio volumes became a history of the foundations of all the principal churches in the kingdom.
