Excerpt from The Exchequer in the Twelfth Century
It will prevent misunderstanding if I mention that in my frequent quotations from the Dialogue I never profess to give a strict translation. I render freely and usually abridge. My obligations to the editors of the Oxford edition of that work are, I hope, su?iciently implied in what I have said of it in my opening chapter, which also explains the nature of my indebtedness to other writers. But I should like to thank Messrs. C. G Crump, Charles Johnson, and C. Hilary Jenkinson, of the Public Record Office, for their extreme kindness in answering questions which I addressed to them at various times. Had I ventured to ask any of them to look over my proof sheets, I am sure the text would have been freed from many errors. Nor should I omit to express my gratitude to the Secretary to the Delegates of the Clarendon Press for the readiness with which he arranged for my convenience that my lectures should all be in print before they were delivered.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. One of the very few books written by a medieval English official still holds value for modern historians. Written by Richard, Bishop of London, and Treasurer to King Henry II, the Dialogue Concerning the Exchequer provides a window into the medieval English royal court. The book offers a detailed look at the accounting and administrative practices of the Exchequer, the financial and administrative heart of the Kingdom of England. The author explains the Exchequer's structure and processes, including the collection, accounting, and disbursement of revenues, the system of audits and assessments, and the functions of various officials. The Dialogue is an unusually detailed record of medieval English governmental administration and offers insight into English financial history not available from other sources.
