The English in Rome, 1362-1420: Portrait of an Expatriate Community (Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought: Fourth Series, Series Number 45) (Tvrdi povez)

Centered on a study of the early archives of the Venerabile Collegio Inglese in Rome, this book attempts to place in its political, commercial and religious setting the English community that was in Rome between 1362, when the first English hospice for poor people and pilgrims was founded, and 1420. The book also uncovers a notable, although unsuccessful, attempt to forward English participation in commerce with Rome before 1420, revealing important links between the English laity in Rome and the city of London.
