Note. Dr. A. B. Emden's Biographical Register of the University of Oxford to 1500 has
been followed for degrees. But some later medieval bishops' registers and chapter act
books give the title of magister to B.A.s. This anomalous title appears in this edition
of the Fasti. when there is manuscript authority for it.
