Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A fine new copy. Duncan Probert's tragically premature death in 2016 robbed us of an excellent scholar whose work authoritatively spanned the interface between the history, the landscape, and the place-names and personal names of the Middle Ages, in particular those of Anglo-Saxon and Norman England. One purpose of this memorial volume is to bring to publication four important papers which he left incomplete at the time of his death. Three of them, focused on Devon in the late eleventh century, make detailed use of the so-called Exeter Gospels and of Domesday Book. In particular, they examine the landed endowment of Exeter's cathedral community, the freeing of its manorial slaves (as reported by the manumission lists in the Gospels and in the Leofric Missal), and its records of Exeter's gilds. The fourth places the location of a tenth-century royal 'hunting lodge', previously unidentified, in south Devon. The remainder of the volume contains essays by fourteen of Duncan Probert's closest friends and work colleagues. Spanning the full spectrum of his academic interests, these offer a rich menu of linguistic, historical and topographical subject-matter, ranging in date from the fifth century to the fourteenth. Among the sources used intensively are place-names, personal names, pre-Conquest charters and leases, Domesday Book, wills (both pre- and post-Conquest), poll tax returns, and the evidence of the historical landscape. In addition to essays by the two editors, the authors are: John Baker, Oliver Padel, Ann Williams, Ryan Lavelle, Richard Coates, Richard Holt, David N. Parsons, David Roffe, John Insley, Chris Callow, Peter McClure and Harry Parkin. The book concludes with a bibliography of Duncan Probert's published writings. Seller Inventory # 060660
