medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Indeed, one version of Winchelsey's decree is in Wilkins' Concilia (ii, 280) and is available at Google Books:
http://books.google.com/books/about/Concilia_Magnae_Britanniae_Et_Hiberniae.html?id=uopEAAAAcAAJ
C. R. Cheney lays out the statute's confusing pedigree in “The so-called Statutes of John Pecham and Robert Winchelsey for the Province of Canterbury” in Journal of Ecclesiastical History 12 (1961), 14-34.

Powicke and Cheney (etc) is essentially part of a revision of Wilkins'
"Concilia".

Part of its value is that it reflects only what's going on in Norfolk diocese parishes. The average number of books (18) is high (median = 21) because the inspectors counted small gatherings of miscellaneous services books (like masses added for feast of Corpus Christi). It'salso not always clear when the contents they list are gathered in a single volume.
