The prosperous Cluniac priory of St John the Evangelist,
Pontefract, was founded around 1090 by Robert de Lacy, remaining
subject to its mother-house of La Charite-sur-Loire until the
fourteenth century. The charters in this two-volume work have been
arranged by type: seigniorial charters; episcopal and papal
charters; royal charters; and those relating to priory property,
arranged geographically according to proximity to Pontefract. The
chartulary is particularly valuable for topographical studies and
local and family history - in many cases the names of all witnesses
have been transcribed. The manuscript was originally compiled in
the first half of the thirteenth century, with additions made on
blank leaves over the following centuries (not included by the
editor). Volume 2, published in 1902, contains charters 234-556, on
local property holdings and leases, and an index to the whole work.
Each Latin charter is preceded by a brief English summary.
