Présentation de l'éditeur

In the chapter house at Westminster there is exhibited a document in which Abbot Gervase and the Convent assign a sum of eight shillings a year from the tithes of Rothing to the Precentor, for the repair of books in the library and for other requirements of his office. Gervasius abbas beati Petri Westmonasteriensis totusque conventus ejusdem ecclesiae omnibus hominibus suis tam praesentibus quam futuris salutem. Manifestum vobis Heri volumus nos amore dei pro reparandis libris armarii, et pro ceteris negotiis quae ad cantoris nostri pertinent oflicium, communi assensu et consilio concessisse et dedisse cantariae viii. solidos de decima de Roinges quam tenet A luricus presbiter: et his terminis, ad annuntiationem sanctae Mariae iiii. solidos, et ad festivitatem Sancti Petri ad vincula iiii. solidos. Quapropter volumus et praecipimus ut cantor ecclesiae beati Petri Vestmona,steriensis, quisquis ille fuerit, praedictos habeat solidos bene et honorifice et in pace, ne quis eum super hac nostra donatione et praedicta elemosina ullo modo inquietetl. Gervase was Abbot from 11410 to about 1159. Accordingly we see that in the twelfth century the books of the monastery at Westminster were under the charge of the Precentor. This was in accordance with the Constitutions drawn up for all Benedictine monasteries in England by Lanfranc at the end of the eleventh century. In his chapter De Oantore we read: De universis monasterii libris curam gerat, et eos in custodia sua habeat, si ejus studii et scientiae sit ut eorum custodia ei commendari debeatz. 1M unim. 1172 A: a copy is in the Westminster âD ornesday,â f. 679b, among â Scripta vacua nunc.â The annual payment of Ss. from the rector of Rothing Alba W hite Roothing, co. Essex was surrendered in 1300 (M unim. 1172 B, â Domesday f. 360). 2R eyner, A postolatus Benedictinorum in A nglia, 1626, append. p. 236: Wilkins, Con
