Extract

The principal source for the history of the Order of Prémontré in England is the three volumes of Collectanea Anglo-Premonstratensia edited by cardinal Gasquet and published by the Royal Historical Society in 1904–06 (Camden 3rd Series, vols. vi, x, xii). The documents which make up this collection were derived from two sources:

1. The register of Richard Redman, abbot of Shap, and visitor of the order in England during the second half of the fifteenth century. (Bodleian Library, Ashmole MS. 1519).

2. Transcripts of a Registrum Premonstratense made by the antiquary Francis Peck early in the eighteenth century, and now in the British Museum (Additional MSS. 4934–5).
