Seals and Documents is a comprehensive study of the use of seals in medieval and early modern Europe, with a particular focus on British legal history. Authored by Reginald Lane Poole under the auspices of the British Academy, this work examines the evolution, function, and significance of seals as authenticating devices on legal and administrative documents. From royal charters to private deeds, seals played a crucial role in validating agreements and asserting authority.
Poole's meticulous research delves into the diverse iconography found on seals, offering insights into the social, political, and cultural contexts of their use. The book explores the materials, craftsmanship, and symbolic language of seals, providing a valuable resource for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the material culture of the past. This enduring work remains essential for understanding the intricate relationship between seals, documents, and the legal framework of European society.
