Description

Excerpt from Extracts From The Account Rolls Of The Abbey Of Durham<br/><br/>This second volume of Account Rolls is appearing earlier than has been anticipated, in consequence of a handsome donation made by the Dean and Chapter of Durham to the Surtees Society, on condition that the books edited by Canon Fowler shall be completed as soon as possible. The printing of the text is therefore being pushed on, and of this there is enough now left to fill about half of the third volume, the remainder of which is to contain a General Introduction, Notes, Glossary, and a very full Index. It is obviously impossible to proceed very far with these until the whole of the text is printed, but the Editor hopes that any members of the Society who may have found Vols. I and II somewhat unattractive, will have less occasion for disappointment in the case of Vol. III. It will be his endeavour to make the General Introduction as interesting as he can, by bringing together the principal facts that may be gathered from the Rolls to illustrate the daily life of a great Benedictine House, and to help us to picture for ourselves the Abbey alive and at work. Those who care to read the actual extracts from the Rolls, and there are such, will find this second volume by no means inferior in interest to the former one. Such as are interested in mediaeval farming will discover much that is curious in the Stock-keepers' Rolls.
