Volume XI: Textus Roffensis, Part II

In this volume we have a facsimile of the second part of the codex of which the first part was reproduced in volume VII. This second part, written at Rochester in 1122 or soon after by the scribe who wrote the first part, is basically a cartulary of Rochester Priory. It is a collection of documents that is most valuable for both pre- and post-Conquest history, some forty of them dating from before the Conquest. Its importance has long been recognized, but the printed version failed to distinguish the original cartulary from additions and alternations made to it later in the twelfth century, so that the present facsimile makes it possible for scholars to study the detail of this manuscript properly for the first time.
