This volume contains the Recusant Rolls for London and Middlesex for the reign of James I. The series E3 77/12-31, 33-the Pipe Office Recusant Rolls-was used because they were the most complete. 1 In sections where the text has decayed, they have been reconstructed, where that was possible, by checking them against the E376 series. The abbreviations used in the text to explain the various sections of the entries are those devised by the late Dom Hugh Bowler, O.S.B. for vol. 57 of the Catholic Record Society with some additions which will be explained below.
