A collection of foundation charters of English monastic houses, Written in 1638-1640
'Monasticon Anglicanum per Rogerum Dodsworthe inchoatum, 1638': a collection of foundation charters of English monastic houses, chronologically arranged, transcribed, for the most part in a secretary's hand, out of:
- MSS. Dodsworth 66, 68 (chartae antiquae)
- MS. Dodsworth 78 (Cottonian library: see fol. 6v)
- MS. Dodsworth 110 (Dugdale's collections, for which see also fol. 1)
- MSS. Dodsworth 118, 120 (charter rolls)
- And numerous other volumes of Dodsworth's collections, to which references are given throughout
The volume may be reckoned a first draft for Dugdale and Dodsworth's Monasticon, wherein practically the whole of its contents are incorporated: see the references to vol. i added in the hand of dr. Nathaniel Johnston. Lists of the monasteries included in it are given at fol. 3 and in the Old Catalogue.
