Missa de nomine Jesu, indulgenced by Eob. Hallam, Bp. of Sarum, 

 in 1-411, is published in the York Missal (ed. Henderson, ii., 216). 

 The rubrics of the Sarum Missale ed. 1861 — 83, following the text 

 of 1526, set forth five indulgences, ranging in date from cir. 1200 

 to 1400 (cols. 927*, 890*, 886*, 455 n., and 750*), and attached to 

 the recitation of prayers, gospels, and votive masses. 



In his Cathedral statutes, sealed 26th October, 1319, Bp. Koger 

 de Morti val directed that the benefit of indulgences (indulgentiarum 

 munera) to encourage contributions to the Salisbury Cathedral fabric 

 fund should be for the future published by emissaries (nuncios) sent 

 by the President and Chapter, not only in the Cathedral Church 

 itself but in every place in the city and diocese, every year on the 

 eight Sundays from the first Sunday in Lent to the octave of Easter 

 inclusive, and that all other pardoners (quacstores) from whatsover 

 quarter they came, should be absolutely inhibited during that 

 period, and be excluded from making their appeals for other 

 charitable objects, during the eight weeks when the indulgences 

 issued " by the holy fathers [his] predecessors and other Catholic 

 Bishops," together with an additional xl. days, promised by himself, 

 were solemnly published to the faithful people (Statuta Sarum ms. 

 E. f. 13 b cap. xxii., A.D. 1319). Indulgences for Salisbury Cathe- 

 dral fabric were issued previously in 1225, 1235, 1280, and 1286. 

 Indulgences to encourage prayer for the souls of bishops and others 

 buried in the Cathedral are extant, ranging from 1271 to 1328. 

 The earliest of these 1 relate to Kobert Bingham, who, in 1244 built 

 Harnham Bridge, as well as St. John the Baptist's Chapel on the 

 isle which supports one of its piers, and who was reckoned as a 

 second founder of the Cathedral Church as well as of St. Nicholas' 

 Hospital. At the same date (1271) was issued a pardon (like St. 

 Hugh of Lincoln's) for the moderate extent of thirteen days' penance 

 ■enjoined, by Anian II., Bp. of St. Asaph, available for " all persons 

 truly contrite, confessed, and really penitent, who should recite 

 the Lord's Prayer, and Salutation of B.V. Mary, with a faithful 

 mind, for the souls of Giles late Bishop (1256 — 62) and Simon de 

 Bridport late Treasurer [and Archdeacon, cir. 1258 — 70] . . .
