Excerpt from Two Cartularies of the Benedictine Abbeys of Muchelney and Athelney in the County of SomersetOn the first discovery of the volume it was at once con' sidered that it must be one of the two very ancient parchment books mentioned by Hearne (see Appendix), as being lent to him by Lord Charles Bruce, son of Thomas Earl of Ailesbury and Elizabeth Seymour. But it is impossible to suppose that Hearne could have overlooked the early charters and besides, his extracts, with hardly a single exception, do not appear in the cartulary so it is evident that the Cartulary has never been utilised for the history of the abbey.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
