A Companion to the English Dominican Province
From Its Beginnings to the Reformation
Series: - Brill's Companions to the Christian Tradition, Volume: 97
A Companion to the English Dominican Province offers an account of Dominican activities in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales from their arrival in 1221 until their dissolution at the Reformation. Over the three centuries covered in this volume, the Friars Preachers not only devoted themselves to the cure of souls via preaching and hearing confessions, but they also represented English kings on diplomatic missions, influenced politics and society, and contributed to cultural, intellectual, and religious life across the British Isles.

"This outstanding volume contains twelve substantial chapters by leading scholars on the growth and life of the medieval English and Scottish Dominican Provinces in the British Isles [...] The work is particularly to be commended for not limiting itself to England but in covering the entirety of the province. Each chapter is meticulously researched, generally up-to-date, and has its own bibliography at the end [...] an essential reference work for English mendicant studies and a worthy marker of the Province’s eight hundredth anniversary of foundation."
