The Register of Adam Orleton, Bishop of Hereford, contains the documents relating to the tenure of Adam Orleton as the Bishop of Hereford, 1317-1327.

Bannister transcribed the documents and added English summaries in a two-volume edition published in 1907 by Wilson and Phillips, printers in Hereford. Bannister added an introduction to this edition, containing a biography of Orleton and a summary of the tumultuous political events in which Orleton was embroiled during his tenure. The introduction contains no mention of the original documents which Bannister transcribed. This transcription has been scanned and is freely available online.
