Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This volume presents a complete, authoritative translation of "Domesday Book" from the original Latin, together with an index of places and a glossary of terms used. "Domesday Book" was described by David Hume as "the most valuable piece of antiquity possessed by any nation". Compiled in an aston…ishing 8 months the book was a complete audit of England in 1086 and it confirmed the redistribution of lands and property to the Norman friends of William the Conqueror, and the forfeit of everything for the English and Anglo-Scandinavian of the defeated kingdom. The political and historical significance of the book has been felt ever since; indeed it was last invoked in a court case in 1986 to settle a land dispute. The book got its name from one Richard Fitznigell, the 12th-century treasurer, who wrote: "this book is called the English Domesday not because it passes judgement on any doubtful points raised, but because it is not permissable to contradict its decisions, any more than it will be those of the last judgement". The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

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 whic…h 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.

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 bla…nk 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'.
