Jack P. Cunningham is Reader in Ecclesiastical History at Bishop Grosseteste University, Lincoln, UK, with a special interest in philosophy and theology in the high Middle Ages. He is director of the International Robert Grosseteste Study Centre at BGU and is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Previous publications he has edited include Robert Grosseteste: His Thought and Its Impact; Robert Grosseteste and the Pursuit of Religious and Scientific Learning in the Middle Ages (with M. Hocknull); and Robert Grosseteste and Theories of Education (with Steven Puttick). Philip Perry was an English Roman Catholic priest and a prolific scholar, born to an old Staffordshire recusant family in 1720. After studies at Douai and in Paris, he was in 1767 appointed rector of the English College, Valladolid. He died in Madrid during a heatwave in 1774.

This book should be of particular value to those interested in eighteenth-century Catholicism and those concerned with developments in historical method, especially scholarship on the middle ages.
