Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of Grace Book A, a collection of graces that were passed by the Senate of the University of Cambridge during 47 academical years from 1542 to 1589. These graces primarily document the passing of degrees for various graduation years and contain both records of student performance and university policy. Through these documents, we see the seeds of modern higher education during a time of immense reformation across Britain. Changes in the religious and academic landscape brought about by figures like Henry VIII and the subsequent monarch's reforms can be observed through these detailed admissions, appointments, and roll calls that constitute this book. Unlike the volumes that follow, this record is written in a single hand, possibly by a trained scribe. The text has been collated, edited, and includes an index of contents. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
