Item description from seller

Large folio. 13.5 x 17.25 inches. vi + 127 pp. Illustrated by [16] facsimile plates at end. [A-B4], C-R4. Text in English and Latin. Bound in original black cloth, gilt and deckle edges. Extremities worn, bumped on lower edges, front board sunned on right edge with stain that also affects endpapers and free endpapers. Slight staining to margin edges of end facsimile pages. Otherwise a fine clean copy. A twelfth century survey of the churches, knights and lands of Christ Church Cathedral Priory, Canterbury: 'The manuscript which is here edited was written at the monastery of Christ Church in Canterbury, and is now preserved in the library of the dean and chapter of that place' (MS. E. 28). It is written in three scripts, dated c. 1100, 1150 and 1200 and the text falls into four main groups, 1. Documents relating to Kentish churches and to payments due from them; 2. Surveys of the lands of the archbishop and the monks of Christ Church, of the see of Rochester and other Kentish landowners; 3. A list of the knights of the archbishop; 4. Documents concerning the affairs of Christ Church and its property. The editor's introduction supplies a detailed and scholarly analysis of the texts, including a discussion on possible links to the great Domesday survey of 1085-86. A complete transliteration of the Latin documents is followed by an index and facsimile reproductions of all the manuscripts. The editor, David Charles Douglas (1898-1982), became a distinguished historian of the Norman period and was author of William the Conqueror (1964) and other works on the Normans and their achievements. A very large book with some superficial wear and tear but now quite scarce. KENT CHURCH HISTORY KENT HISTORY DOCUMENTS KENT.…
