This two-volume work comprises a fourteenth-century cartulary
containing charters and deeds that document the history of Selby
Abbey from its foundation under William the Conqueror in 1069 until
the mid-fifteenth century. The editor, J. T. Fowler (1834-1924),
originally a surgeon, left medicine for the church. He studied at
Durham University before becoming a deacon in the Durham diocese
and holding posts in the university itself. The contents of the
cartulary are divided across the two volumes, originally published
between 1891 and 1893, and Fowler has aimed to reproduce the Latin
text as closely as possible, noting any errors in occasional
footnotes. Volume 2 includes a preface discussing some personal
names of interest found in the cartulary. Also featured is a
description of the abbey by architect Charles Clement Hodges
(1852-1932), with illustrative plates. The appendix contains
further documents relating to the ownership of the abbey's lands.
