This volume reproduces at full size 190 original charters produced
for English bishops between 1085 and 1300. Full transcriptions face
each plate, with a brief English summary and bibliographical note.
The documents are drawn from every diocese, and are taken from
fifty-five archives in England, France and Belgium. The selection
includes representative examples of all the commoner types of
document - solemn charters, judgments, mandates, indulgences,
administrative or personal correspondence and formal notifications
to the crown. A few cases of drafts, and several of forgery, are
also included.
The volume indicates the ways in which these documents, as the
scribe prepared them, contain information--in punctuation, lay-out
and physical appearance - which cannot be shown in even the most
scrupulous printed edition. The introduction gives a broad outline
of the evolution of the forms and script, and of methods of
sealing.
