Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of primary source documents that illuminate the historic rise and evolution of the Collegiate Church and Hospital of the Holy Trinity and Trinity Hospital in Edinburgh, Scotland. The documents within span four centuries, from the Papal Bull of 1460 that authorized the founding of Trinity College, to the Act of Parliament in 1661 that ratified the final charter of the Trinity Hospital. The varied documents in the collection, including charters, acts of Parliament, and letters, reveal a complex institutional history. The evolution of these institutions is traced through the dissolution of the original Trinity College Chancellorship, its subsequent annexation to the Holy Trinity complex, and its final transformation into an independent hospital under the management of the city council of Edinburgh. Together, these documents tell the story of a major ecclesiastical institution in medieval Scotland, and provide valuable insights into the shifting religious, social, and political landscape of the late Middle Ages and early modern period. Unlike many other histories of religious institutions in the UK, this book does not begin and end with the medieval period, but instead explores the evolution of the Trinity complex into the modern era. Of particular interest is the growing role of local government in the administration and management of ecclesiastic resources and institutions as Scotland transitioned to a Protestant nation. While the primary source documents are presented without significant commentary, the editorial notes and introductions supply sufficient historical context to make this book accessible to specialists and general readers alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
