Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

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

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
