The text is in Latin with a Preface in English. Bishop Edmund Lacy (1420-1455) was the son of Stephen Lacy and Sibilla his wife. He was elected to the see of Hereford between January 21 and February 17, 1417 and consecrated on April 18, 1417. He was translated to the see of Exeter on July 15, 1420. He died on September 18, 1455 with a reputation for sanctity and the working of miracles. The result of this was seen in the fidelity with which Devonshire and Cornwall adhered to the Catholic Faith at the time of the Reformation.
