SECTION IV (b)
CHARTERS ON SINGLE SHEETS
WRITTEN IN THE TWELFTH CENTURY OR LATER
Early Modern script-facsimiles or transcripts: nos. 316-18
[316] S 248 (BCS 113) Ine, king of Wessex (705): Taunton, Somerset Record Office, DO/SAS PR c795.501 (OSFacs. ii. Taunton), of uncertain provenance (in origin from Glastonbury).
Apparently an early modern script-facsimile of a presumed 'original' from Glastonbury (s. viii, or more probably s. ix). Abrams 1991.
[317] S 550 (BCS 882) King Eadred (949): BL Cotton Charter viii.6 (BAFacs. 40).
s. xvi/xvii script-facsimile of a presumed s. xmed original probably from Evesham. A column of crosses occurs in the left-hand margin; cf. column of chrismons in S 204 [81], and column of crosses in S 221 [88], also Mercian. The script-facsimile is of special interest as evidence of the appearance, in single-sheet form, of one of the so-called 'alliterative' charters of the 940s and 950s, and as an 'early' specimen of Anglo-Caroline script in a royal diploma (cf. S 594 [106]).
[318] S (Add.) 712a (Brooks et al. 1984) King Edgar (963): Stafford, Staffordshire Record Office, Temporary Deposit 1406 (BAFacs. 41).
s. xvii copy of a presumed s. x2 original of uncertain provenance.
<Inconsistencies in classification, e.g. those dated s. xi/xii. Some re-numbering will be necessary, passim.>
