Description: | "Libri Cleri" is the name which, in the Lincoln diocesan registry, is given to lists of the clergy which were drawn up for use at the bishop's or archdeacon's visitation, or occasionally for some other special occasion on which the clergy were under an obligation to appear. By them their attendance was checked, and a record was made of the instruments which they exhibited, such as letters of orders and institution, licences to preach, dispensations, &c. Similar lists are still used at visitations, but they are now known as "Call Books", and they do not contain the same amount of information as the libri.
See CW Foster, LRS vol XXIII, p XV.
This class formerly included nos. 58-76, but since these have been found to be the records of visitations by the Archdeacons of Lincoln and Stow, they have been transferred to their appropriate collection. The Liber formerly no. 33 has also been transferred. | Subjects: | Diocese Of Lincoln Religion & Beliefs | Temporal: | 1536-1852 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
