Corpus Christi College, Oxford, was founded in 1517 by Richard Fox, bishop of Winchester.
He intended it to educate students in classical Greek, Latin and Hebrew, and their
literature; Erasmus praised it as a scholarly achievement, and a beacon of Renaissance
classical learning. The heart of this book is an edition of the original fortnightly
building site accounts of 1517-1518, giving us a window onto a late-medieval building
site, with its details of early sixteenth-century building materials, craft techniques,
project management skills and working conditions, including siesta periods and sub-contracting.
The introduction describes Fox's long road to 1517: his motives far more complicated
than a bishop looking for worldly fame and heavenly reward. Born into a Lincolnshire
yeoman, Fox studied law at Oxford, rebelled against Richard III and became Henry VII's
closest political adviser. Taken together, they provide a detailed account of the
foundation of the College, both literal and metaphorical
