Description

The Manorial Records guide provides a comprehensive and structured approach to using medieval manorial records for local historians and genealogists. With over 30 years' experience in teaching Latin for local history, the author has compiled a valuable resource that explains the nature and vocabulary of these documents.

This manual offers practical guidance on translating transcribed documents, with and without abbreviations, as well as reproductions of actual manuscript documents from the mid-12th to the 18th centuries. The book also includes full answers to exercises, a glossary of key terms, and lists of declensions and conjugations.

Manorial records remain an essential source of information for local historians, providing valuable insights into local government and written records beyond the mid-16th century. This guide fills a significant gap in the record user's armory, making it an invaluable resource for those researching medieval history and genealogy.
