Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annals of Winchester College: From Its Foundation in the Year to the Present Time; With an Appendix Containing the Charter of Foundation, Wykeham´s Statutes of 1400, and Other Documents and an Index Wykeham seems to have begun his great work of providing free education for the sons of people who could not afford to pay for it, as a means of supplying the exhausted ranks of an educated clergy, very soon after he became Bishop of Winchester. For in a commission dated January 3, 1368-9, for facilitating the provision of holy water for the use of poor scholars, quoted by Moberly from Wykeham´s Register (III. 16), Wykeham mentions his own scholars (nostri scolares), an expression which cannot possibly refer to the boys of the ancient cathedral school, which, if it still existed, which is doubtful, belonged to the Priory of St. Swithun, and not to the See of Winchester. And in a petition which he addressed to Pope Urban VI for leave to found a college, he seems to have relied on the fact that he had been maintaining a number of poor scholars at his own expense for several years as a reason why his prayer should be granted. By the autumn of the year 1373, Wykeham´s own school was so far established as to warrant the engaging of a permanent master.
