Catalogue Note
Lyndwood's great commentary upon the ecclesiastical decrees enacted in English provincial councils under the presidency of the Archbishops of Canterbury, first published by Wynkyn de Worde in London in 1496. The second work, often bound with the Provinciale, has been attributed to Lyndwood, but is by another author.
