Description:
Donington: Shaun Tyas, 2021. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A fine, new copy bound in cloth and sewn in sections. The Founders' Book records the history of Tewkesbury Abbey in Gloucestershire, from the transfer of abbey status from Cranborne to Tewkesbury by Robert Fitzhamon in 1102 to the time of the book's compilation in the late fifteenth century. The Chronicle also records some details of Tewkesbury's earlier history from Anglo-Saxon times, such as details of the eighth-century Mercian founders, here called 'Oddo and Doddo', and gifts from the West Saxon king, Beorhtric (786-802). This magnificent full-size colour facsimile of the manuscript in the Bodleian Library occupies pages 137 to 209 of the book, preceded by an introduction by the editor Julian Luxford, an essay on the heraldry in the manuscript by Adrian Ailes, and a full edition of the Latin text with facing English translation by Susan Powell. .
