Synopsis

This book is a detailed chronicle of the Priory of Merton, a notable religious establishment in Surrey, England. Founded in 1114 by Gilbert the Knight, the Priory became an important center of Augustinian canons during the Middle Ages. The book draws on extensive archival research, including charters, deeds, and other historical documents, to provide a comprehensive account of the Priory's history, its daily life, and the changing fortunes of the house. The author's insights offer valuable perspectives on the role of religious institutions in medieval society and the interplay between religious and secular powers. The book is a significant contribution to the study of English medieval history and the religious landscape of the period.

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.
