EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Thomas Tanner, Churchman and Antiquary: A Scholar in Ecclesiastical and Historical Circles (1674-1735) Thomas Tanner, an eminent figure of the 18th century, is depicted in this evocative portrait. Born in 1674, Tanner's life was marked by his significant contributions to the fields of ecclesiastical and historical studies. He rose to prominence as the Bishop of St Asaph in Wales, but his enduring legacy lies in his work as a dedicated antiquary. The image captures Tanner's intellectual intensity, with his piercing gaze and a quill pen in hand, symbolizing his commitment to the written word. His scholarly pursuits were not limited to the realm of theology; Tanner was also an avid collector and researcher of historical documents, particularly those related to the history of the Church of England. Tanner's extensive body of work includes numerous publications on various aspects of church history, antiquities, and canon law. His most notable achievements are "Anglicanus" (1702), a comprehensive history of the Anglican Church, and "Annales Ecclesiastici" (1709), a collection of ecclesiastical annals. These works have remained essential references for scholars of church history to this day. Beyond his scholarly pursuits, Tanner was also an influential figure within the ecclesiastical community. He served as the Bishop of St Asaph from 1714 until his death in 1735. During his tenure, he worked diligently to promote unity and reform within the Church of Wales. This portrait of Thomas Tanner stands as a testament to his intellectual prowess and dedication to the preservation and understanding of ecclesiastical and historical knowledge. His legacy continues to inspire scholars and researchers in the fields of theology, history, and antiquities.
