Notes: "The text of the [Canterbury] manuscript does not present a single work, but a number of separate compilations, which, however, with one exception ... deal with the discipline and usages and religious services of the monastery. The exception is a series of documents relating to the succession of Ralph de Bourne to the abbacy in 1309."--Pref., v. 1.
"The [Westminster] text ... is the fourth part of the customary compiled under the direction of abbot Richard de Ware, who held office from 1250 to 1283."--Pref., v. 2.
