520 $a"The need for an educated parochial clergy had been seen from early times and during the Middle Ages was articulated by popes, councils and generations of canonists. Uneducated parish priests, it was frequently said, were like the blind leading the blind, both in peril of falling into the pit. Various efforts were made to remedy this problem, culminating in 1298 with the decretal of Pope Boniface VIII Cum ex eo, which allowed non-priest rectors of parish churches to absent themselves for up to seven years to attend university. When their studies were completed, they had to become priests within one year. This study set out to examine how this decretal was implemented over the next fifty years in the diocese of Lincoln, the largest in England. The bishops' registers, however, revealed a much wider practice. In addition to dispensations granted by virtue of Cum ex eo, a substantial number of licences to study were also granted to rectors who were already priests, particularly after 1320. In total, over twelve hundred rectors of Lincoln diocese received permissions to study during this half-century period. A comparison with two other dioceses shows that the granting of such permissions was not peculiar to Lincoln diocese and occurred elsewhere at similar rates. This is suggestive of a wider English phenomenon."-- Publisher description.

In 1298 the decretal Cum ex eo of Pope Boniface VIII allowed non-priest rectors of parish churches to absent themselves for up to seven years to attend university. This study sets out to examine how this decretal was implemented over the next fifty years in the diocese of Lincoln, the largest in England, but the bishops’ registers revealed a much wider practice. In addition to dispensations granted in virtue of Cum ex eo, a very substantial number of licences to study (licencie studendi) were also granted to rectors who were already priests. Over twelve hundred rectors of Lincoln diocese received permissions to study by way of dispensation or licence during the first half of the fourteenth century. This educational phenomenon and the questions it raises are examined in detail. The volume concludes with a register of all rectors of Lincoln diocese who attended university during the period under study.
