I'm posting this query on behalf of a member of the archives-nra list who is, alas, unable to post to medieval-religion. Parishes in England and Wales were, from the mid-C16 onwards, required to send to their diocesan bishop each year a transcript of the parish register of baptisms, marriages and burials. These documents are known (not surprisingly) as Bishops' Transcripts (BTs) and they survive from approximately the mid-1560s. The question posed is whether there was a similar practice on the continent either in the C16 or before. Or were BTs an Anglican-only thing? Thanks in advance for any answers received.
