Published in 1861, these thirteenth-century Latin letters date mainly from the author's time as bishop of Lincoln. Both a scientist and theologian, Grosseteste boasts what the historian R. W. Southern describes as 'a rarely paralleled breadth of intellectual interests'. His letters are invaluably illustrative of the social conditions of the time.

This work, written in 1292 and published in 1859, is an important source of information on late-thirteenth-century English history and politics.
