Originalleinen. Zustand: Sehr gut. 232 S. Aus dem Nachlass von Michael Richter. Mit Besitzvermerk auf Vorsatz. Einband leicht berieben, sonst gutes und sauberes Exemplar. Beiliegend: Richters handschriftliche Notizen -- maschinenschriftlicher Auszug aus einem Aufsatz zur walisischen Rechtsgeschichte. - Aus der Einführung: "THE documents printed in this volume are preserved in the Public Record Office. They form part of a manuscript book which was originally among the archives of the exchequer: it is now Volume 274 in the series of 'Books' of the treasury of the receipt, but it has long been generally known by the title 'Liber A'. It belongs to a very common species of medieval archive: it is a register of miscellaneous documents which were thought to be of interest and importance to the department concerned. It served much the same purpose as the monastic cartulary or the memoranda books of borough archives: it provided a handy repertory of transcripts which, being collected together in book form, were much easier to refer to than original documents, for the originals would be of various shapes and sizes, and would often be preserved in a number of different receptacles within the department. For specially solemn purposes, of course, the original documents would have to be produced, but for the practical workaday purposes of the department, the transcripts in the register were sufficient, and very much more convenient. Liber A consists of 459 folios of parchment, of approximately 14 inches by 10 inches (36 cm. by 26 cm.), and it has been recently rebound in oaken covers. There is more than one foliation.

Originalleinen. Zustand: Sehr gut. 301 S. Aus dem Nachlass von Michael Richter. Mit Besitzvermerk auf Vorsatz. Beiliegend: Richters handschriftliche Notizen und Exzerpte -- Broschüre über William Stubbs vom selben Autor wie das Buch. - Aus dem Vorwort: "The documents calendared in this volume are part of one of the large 'Special Collections' in the Public Record Office, the collection now called 'Ancient Correspondence', but formerly known as 'Royal and Historical Letters'. The whole collection amounts to sixty-two volumes, most of which contain some two hundred letters apiece. A list of the contents of vols, i-lviii was published by the Public Record Office in 1902 under the title List of Ancient Correspondence of the Chancery and Exchequer (P.R.O. Lists and Indexes, No. xv). Since that date vols, lix-lxii have been added, and a certain number of additional documents have been inserted into some of the volumes preceding vol. lix. All these additions are recorded in those copies of the List which are on the reference shelves of the Public Record Office. Many individual documents from among the Ancient Correspondence have been published in extenso in such collections as Rymer's Foedera (especially in the edition of 1816) and Shirley's Royal and other historical letters illustrative of the reign of Henry III (Rolls Ser., 1866); many have also been sporadically printed as pièces justificatives in historical articles and monographs. The collection as a whole, however, is still but imperfectly known to scholars, as there exists no comprehensive and systematic calendar of all the documents. As the production of such a calendar, however desirable, seems at present to be scarcely possible, the one immediately practical way of helping to open up the collection is that scholars with special interests should each attack it from his own point of view. The History and Law Section of the Board of Celtic Studies therefore decided to undertake the publication of a calendar of those documents in Ancient Correspondence which concern Wales. The present volume is the result. " Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 750.…
