Book Description
Excerpt from Chapters on the Early History of Glastonbury Abbey In making a short contribution to the early history of Glastonbury Abbey I feel that I need offer no apology, as the old Tor itself, although 20 or 25 miles distant as the crow flies, is visible from my windows, and invites the attempt. More often than not it is draped in the mists that sweep up the Severn Sea from the north-west and lies half hid in the mirage of the moorlands. To write about the birth of Grlastonbury is to write about a creation that has sprung from the sea, that has grown up silently in the weird marshes and meres of the "sea-moor-saetas," and that loves to entangle itself in the magic mists of antiquity. Must we always adhere to the litera scripta in speaking of Glastonbury? It is the land of legend, romantic figures, and shadowy heroes, and there is sometimes more substance to be found in these, especially when place-names, topography, dedications, and the consentanea vox of antiquity confirm them, than in the litera scripta of the monastic scriptorium, where the greatest efforts of the Benedictine pens were directed to invent, to simulate, and to forge, so that the detective genius of a Stubbs can hardly winnow the true record from the false.

A Feodary Of Glastonbury Abbey (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from A Feodary Of Glastonbury Abbey With the issue in this volume of the Feodary the Society has returned to the attack on the documentary history of Glaston bury Abbey. In this case the history is not that of a religious foundation, but rather of a great feudal landowner, whose rights and liabilities were very closely connected. Previous efforts include the printing of the Inquisition of Abbot Henry de Sully drawn up in 1189; and of the Rentalia of Abbots Ambresbury and Ford, dated 1235 - 1261, which formed Volume V of the Society's works. To this is now added a Feodary of the succeeding century. For permission to print this valuable document the Society is greatly indebted to the Curators of the Bodleian Library, and for the labour of editing to the Rev. F. W. Weaver and to Canon Mayo, of Long Burton, Dorset, who has contributed the Introduction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
