Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the history of St Johns College, Cambridge. The story begins with the founding of a hospital by one Henry Frost in 1135. This was then given over to the Augustinian Cannons for their care. Under the chapel, infirmary and other buildings arose, and as time went on, the grounds expanded to a considerable size. In 1284, the Canons agreed to surrender the hospital to the Bishop of Ely, who endowed it with additional revenues. This new institution was to become known as Peterhouse. The narrative goes on to tell the stories of the subsequent centuries. We read of Hugh Balsham, the Bishop of Ely and founder of Peterhouse, and his failed scheme to introduce some of the scholars of the university into the hospital. We discover how, thanks to Simon de Montacute, the keepers of the hospital were able to elect their own masters and how they gained the right of membership of the university. The author also describes the role of John Dunham in the hospitalâs transition to becoming St Johnâs College. There was also the tragic downfall of the master William Tomlyn, whose misrule and selling off of assets led to the institutionâs dissolution in 1510. The great refounding of the college is portrayed with the author shedding light on the key role played by the Countess of Richmond and her son, Henry VII. The book charts how under the leadership of Bishop Fisher, St Johnâs became one of the foremost colleges of Cambridge. The book describes the statutes established by Bishop Fisher and the complex duties and obligations of the master, fellows, and students. It also covers the religious and political background of the Reformation, giving insight into the impact of changing times on the college. The author does not shy away from discussing the Catholic Reaction and the troubles and anxieties this caused within the institution. This book, extensively researched and academically rigorous, yet accessible to the general reader, provides a captivating account of how an institution can survive radical change and tumult. It illuminates past events to cast light on the present-day values of education, learning, and religion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332200504_0
