| Summary: | The life of Adam Marsh throws light on a number of career trends in the religious life in the thirteenth century. He was a Franciscan friar who held a chair of theology at Oxford and was sought after as a confessor and also as a political adviser to important people in both Church and state. He became a leading biblical scholar. It is not surprising that the proliferation of his activities and the consequent multiple calls on his time led to strain and possibly to the breakdown of his health, of which he increasingly complains in the letters edited here., Adam Marsh and Grosseteste were colleagues and the letters Adam wrote to Grosseteste form the largest group. Both were interested in the study of Greek. |
