The thirteenth-century manuscript containing them had been bought after the French Revolution by the bishop of Angoulême, to whom the edition is dedicated. The texts record details of property bequests, donations, land use and taxes, and provide valuable data on the economics and politics of medieval France. The substantial introduction (in French) sets the documents in context, and the book ends with a comprehensive index of names and places, a detailed chronological table keyed to the relevant charters, and a glossary giving the location and modern names of the places mentioned in the charters, with additional notes on their history. The editor had planned to edit two further cartularies, but died in 1867 while completing the index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eEpitre dédicatoire\u003cbr\u003e Préface\u003cbr\u003e Cartulaire de Baigne\u003cbr\u003e Table onomastique ou index général des noms d'hommes et de lieux\u003cbr\u003e Table chronologique des Chartes\u003cbr\u003e Table géographique des Chartes ou petit dictionnaire des noms de leiux peu connus\u003cbr\u003e Table générale.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: European history [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on European history\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22European%20history%20%5BHBJD%5D%22\"\u003eHBJD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266043531544,"sku":"9781108035255","price":37.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108035255i.jpg?v=1694873855","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/cartulaire-de-labbaye-de-saint-etienne-de-baigne-en-saintonge-paperback-9781108035255","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
