The Domesday Book - Millennium Edition is the complete text of the Domesday survey of William the Conqueror's kingdom in a limited edition of 450 [ No. 82 ], perfect facsimile copies. It is bound in a replica of the earliest known Domesday binding (the Winton Domesday) and very few copies remain. This is the de-luxe edition which includes companion volumes and maps which help bring to life this fascinating part of our heritage. A two-volume modern English translation, typeset so the text follows the original hand-written script line-for-line. These volumes are superbly hand-bound within a linen spine and hand-made paper sides. Also included is a people and places index volume, bound to match the translation. This volume includes an introduction and a dedication sheet carrying the number 82 / 450 . Domesday is presented with a matching solander box containing modern Ordnance Survey maps with overlaid Domesday sites (light water stain to 30% of the spine. The two-volume facsimile of Great Domesday, is bound in brown embossed EI calfskin to the 12th Century design of the Winton Domesday (which is one of only thirteen known English Romanesque bindings that have survived). The two volumes of the facsimile of the Domesday Book, are handsomely bound in antique style blind-stamped calf, housed in a custom reversed calf antique style satchel with ties. ** Domesday has been called one of the three most famous books in the world, alongside the Bible and the Koran, and is acknowledged as being one of the most important historical documents of the first millennium. William the Conqueror's great survey has been used as a working document ever since its commission at Christmas 1085, and remained pre-eminent as a census of England until the 19th Century. It was last consulted for legal precedent in 1982, 896 years after it was written. Domesday Book encompasses two independent works (in, originally, two physical volumes). These were "Little Domesday" (covering Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex), and "Great Domesday" (covering much of the remainder of England and parts of Wales, except for lands in the north which later became Westmorland, Cumberland, Northumberland, and the County Palatine of Durham). No surveys were made of the City of London, Winchester, or some other towns, probably due to their tax-exempt status.

14 full page screen prints by Ron King, each signed and titled, and title page device. One of 125 copies, with an additional 15 artists proofs, signed by Ron King and numbered on the limitation page. Folio, 37 x 53.5cm, [4], 58pp., plus errata leaf, formed of 15 bifolia with screen print on first recto, the verso of which is blank apart from a printed number, then followed by two pages of text on final recto and verso. Unbound loose sheets, paper wrappers, within publisher's blue cloth portfolio, with oatmeal cloth slipcase. London, Editions Alecto.  Very good, slipcase slightly soiled, spine of portfolio badly faded, some bifolia with pinpricks in corners for registration during printing  and p.54 with an unusual paper flaw midway on the page, but all prints bright and clean.  Ron King's first book, commissioned by the pioneering print publishers Editions Alecto, although in reality becoming the first publication of Ron King's Circle Press after Alecto ran into difficulties and abandoned the project, despite the printing having already been completed. King followed well established fine press tradition in taking Chaucer as his text, but his screen prints, using torn and cut paper stencils with designs inspired by medieval heraldry to create busts of each pilgrim, printed in contrasting colours and metallic inks, are anything but traditional. 'Enriched with muted silver, the most exquisite examples, like the Knight, encapsulate sword, armour, stained fustian, foreign honour, and worthiness in a motif as ingeniously complex as it is explicit'. .
