Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Index to Wills Proved in the Court of the Chancellor of the University of Oxford, and to Such of the Records and Other Instruments and Papers of That Court: As Relate to Matters or Causes Testamentary
It appears then that in the middle of the fourteenth cen tury the Chancellor's jurisdiction in testamentary matters applied to all Members of the University, and to all who were engaged in their service. In process of time it extended to all persons who partook of the privileges of the University in other respects: or perhaps it may be more correct to say, that in process of time persons of several other descriptions became entitled to partake of the privileges of the University, and that all who had the privileges were necessarily liable to the jurisdiction.
