The Franciscan custody of York comprised seven friaries located in two counties, Yorkshire and Lincolnshire: Beverley, Boston, Doncaster, Grimsby, Lincoln, Scarborough and York. Arriving in the north of England in the late 1220s, the Franciscans of the York custody saw the suppression of their last house, Scarborough, in March 1539. Using the biographical index compiled by the late John R. H. Moorman, bishop of Ripon (1959–75, d. 1990), noted historian of the Franciscans, supplemented by his own further and exhaustive research, Michael Robson has produced a biographical register of friars of the York custody which runs to 1,704 names. The first part of the volume begins with a short introduction to the variety of documentary sources mined by Moorman and then by Robson. This is followed by ten short essays, the first of which provides the reader with an outline of the structure of the Franciscan Order and life within its friaries. The remainder discuss the value of specific types of sources: episcopal registers that uncover aspects of the ministry of the order, revealing as they do the names of ordinands, preachers and confessors (sometimes with family details); probate registers, which are important for bringing to light testamentary bequests to the Franciscans; and municipal, ecclesiastical and royal records that can throw light on their role in local society. The information gleaned from this wide variety of sources allows Robson next to take a prosopographical approach to friars’ careers: their admission, education, progress to ordination, progression through the educational structure of the Order, and the ministry of the York friars within their church there through their sermons and urban ministry. The careers of a number of friars are analysed in detail. Franciscan suffragan bishops are not neglected, with discussion of those appointed to office in the crusader states as well as within English and Irish dioceses. The final section considers the ways in which northern chronicles and historians, such as the Louth Park chronicle, Thomas Burton, abbot of Cistercian Meaux, and Walter, chronicler of Augustinian Guisborough, and many others, described the friars’ activities in the region. The Franciscan friars’ footprints on the north emerge clearly here. The second part of the volume comprises the biographical register of those friars known to have been members of the Franciscan houses of the Custody of York. Some appear to have spent their careers in one friary. Others clearly moved from one to another. The entries for many of these 1,704 men are brief, reflecting the paucity of evidence. About the first name, John Abney, for instance, we know only that he was the guardian of the Doncaster friary in 1442 when he appears in the plea rolls for the Hilary term (p. 85). The sole detail for John de Berways is that he was ordained subdeacon on 19 December 1349 at the York church of St Michael le Belfrey (p. 101). We know only that Reginald de Kenington was licensed to hear confessions in the diocese of York in 1300 (p. 182). But for others there is a wealth of detail about their family connections or about their careers. Take, for instance, Roger de Frisby, friar of Boston, who was ordained subdeacon in June 1354 (p. 150). By the time he was ordained deacon (19 March 1356) he was a brother of the Stamford friary, and when he proceeded to the next stage, ordination as priest (March 1357), he was a member of the Grantham house. A Doctor of Theology at Cambridge, he was at the council which examined the opinions of John Wyclif, and he heard William Swinderby, priest of the Lincoln diocese, recant his error in Lincoln cathedral in 1382. He ended his life, hanged at Tyburn, in 1402, having been found, along with his brother, Richard, to have adhered to the prophecies of John of Bridlington, and maintained that were King Richard II still alive, he would be the true king. These few examples should whet the appetite of readers who seek to know more about those who lived in, or were based at, the friaries of the York custody, and to see them as actors, in many roles, on the local, national and international stages.

约克看管中的方济各会传记登记册 c。1229-1539 年。由迈克尔 JP 罗布森编辑。约克郡考古和历史学会，165。博伊德尔。2019 年为 2017 年。xviii + 307pp。50.00 英镑。

方济各会对约克的监护权包括位于约克郡和林肯郡两个县的七个修会：贝弗利、波士顿、唐卡斯特、格里姆斯比、林肯、斯卡伯勒和约克。1220 年代后期抵达英格兰北部，约克区的方济各会士在 1539 年 3 月见证了他们最后一所房子斯卡伯勒的镇压。 使用已故里彭主教约翰 RH 摩尔曼（1959-75 年）编制的传记索引, d. 1990)，著名的方济各会历史学家，再加上他自己进一步详尽的研究，迈克尔·罗布森 (Michael Robson) 制作了一份约克监狱修士的传记名录，其中有 1,704 个名字。该卷的第一部分首先简要介绍了 Moorman 和 Robson 挖掘的各种文献资料来源。接下来是十篇短文，第一个为读者提供了方济各会的结构及其修道士生活的概要。其余部分讨论特定类型来源的价值：揭示教团事工各个方面的主教登记册，揭示教仪、传教士和忏悔者的姓名（有时还有家庭详细信息）；遗嘱认证登记册，这对于揭示方济各会的遗嘱遗赠很重要；以及市政、教会和皇室记录，可以揭示他们在当地社会中的作用。从这些广泛的来源收集的信息使罗布森接下来可以对修士的职业采取顺势而为的方法：他们的录取、教育、晋升到圣职、在教团的教育结构中取得进展，以及约克修士在他们教会内的事工，通过他们的布道和城市事工。详细分析了一些修士的职业生涯。方济各会的女权主教并没有被忽视，讨论了那些在十字军国家以及英国和爱尔兰教区中被任命为公职的人。最后一部分考虑了北方编年史和历史学家，如劳斯公园编年史、西多会莫城修道院院长托马斯伯顿和奥古斯丁吉斯伯勒的编年史家沃尔特以及其他许多人描述修士在该地区活动的方式。方济各会修士在北方的足迹在这里清晰可见。该卷的第二部分包括那些已知是约克监护的方济各会成员的修士的传记登记册。有些人似乎在一个修道士度过了他们的职业生涯。其他人显然从一个转移到另一个。这 1,704 名男性中的许多人的条目都很简短，反映出证据的缺乏。例如，关于名字，约翰·阿布尼，我们只知道他是 1442 年唐卡斯特修道院的监护人，当时他出现在希拉里任期的认罪名单中（第 85 页）。John de Berways 的唯一细节是，他于 1349 年 12 月 19 日在圣迈克尔·勒·贝尔弗雷 (St Michael le Belfrey) 的约克教堂被任命为副执事 (p. 101)。我们只知道 Reginald de Kenington 于 1300 年获准在约克教区听取供词（第 182 页）。但对于其他人来说，有很多关于他们的家庭关系或职业的细节。以波士顿修士罗杰·德·弗里斯比 (Roger de Frisby) 为例，他于 1354 年 6 月被任命为副执事 (p. 150)。当他被任命为执事时（1356 年 3 月 19 日），他是斯坦福德修道士的兄弟，当他进入下一阶段，即被任命为牧师（1357 年 3 月）时，他是格兰瑟姆家族的成员。作为剑桥大学的神学博士，他在审查约翰威克里夫意见的议会中，他听到林肯教区的牧师威廉斯温德比于 1382 年承认他在林肯大教堂的错误。他结束了自己的生命，在泰本被绞死， 1402 年，被发现与他的兄弟理查一起遵守布里德灵顿约翰的预言，并坚持认为理查二世国王还活着，他将是真正的国王。这几个例子应该会激起读者的胃口，他们希望更多地了解那些住在或常驻约克监狱的修道士的人，并将他们视为演员，扮演许多角色，
