	Domesday Book - LoveToKnow 1911
		But Domesday Book (liber) although compiled from the returns of that survey, must be carefully distinguished from them; nor is it certain that it was compiled in the year in which the survey was made.
		The Domesday survey therefore recorded the names of the new holders of lands and the assessments on which their tax was to be paid.
		As Domesday normally records only the Christian name of an under-tenant, it is vain to seek for the surnames of families claiming a Norman origin; but much has been and is still being done to identify the under-tenants, the great bulk of whom bear foreign names.

		Domesday Book and Beyond: Three Essays in the Early History of England by F.W. Maitland Essay One Domesday Book At midwinter in the year 1085 William the Conqueror wore his crown at Gloucester and there he had deep speech with his wise men.
		The outcome of that speech was the mission throughout all England of 'barons,' 'legates' or 'justices' charged with the duty of collecting from the verdicts of the shires, the hundreds and the vills a descriptio of his new realm.
		Domesday Book has well been called a rate book, and the task of spelling out a land law from the particulars that it states is not unlike the task that would lie before any one who endeavoured to construct our modern law of real property out of rate books, income tax returns and similar materials.

		The basic unit in Domesday was the manor, which was the smallest area of land held by a feudal lord.
		Also, Domesday terms and standards were not consistent from county circuit to county circuit; for example, the term wapentake was the equivalent to the hundred in the Danelaw counties.
		David Hume, philosopher and author of History of England, wrote of Domesday that it "is the most valuable piece of antiquity possessed by any nation." The detail of Domesday was not surpassed until the introduction of censuses in the early 19th century.

	Domesday Witham - Introduction and Method
		The Domesday Book was a record of the survey of England carried out in 1086 by William the Conqueror in order to assess taxes and find out other details of the country he conquered 20 years earlier.
		One of the most important points to understand about the Domesday Survey is that it was prepared in 1086, in order to compare that year with 1066, the year of the Norman invasion.
		The type of information collected for Domesday was chosen particularly to assist and augment King William's tax collecting, so it does not necessarily include matters that we ourselves would regard as having been important.

	Domesday
		Domesday (Dooms-day, Judgment Day) received its name in the 12th century, for it was regarded as the ultimate authority, the last word on matters of property.
		Domesday is a most remarkable and valuable record, created in 1085-1086 by order of William ("the Conqueror"), so that he might fully know and understand the nation he ruled over.
		The Latin used in Domesday is almost indecipherable to all but Domesday scholars, as the scribes, to save space, adopted an extreme Latin shorthand.

		The Domesday Book was ordered by William the Conqeror to assess the value of his conquered kingdom 20 years after defeating Harold at the Battle of Hastings.
		The delay in assessing his kingdom, was that until 1080, the Norman invaders were still subdueing and allocating land to their soldiers, the last of the land allocated was in the early 1080's in Northumbria.
		The Domesday book was the first major census in the British Isles, and was more comprehensive than current census's, as properties such as farms, mills, bakeries and other industry was recorded, so showing the wealth of the area, not just population.

		What was important about the latter to boroughs, at the time when they were securing their first grants of self-government, was that the holders of burgage tenements owed suit to the borough court and were (at first) an important source of revenue that was put towards payment of the fee farm.
		Although Domesday seems to have used this term fairly consistently to apply to town residents contributory towards the customary payments due the king from boroughs, later in the Middle Ages its varied application does not suggest a precise, universally agreed, technical definition.
		This resulting and nameless description of the country was coming, less than a century later, to be called "Domesday" – the day of judgement; for the survey officially established who owned what (or whom) and who owed what (money or services) to whom.

		Domesday Book is the earliest, and by far the most famous, English public record.
		Detailed though the Domesday records are, it must be said that it is very difficult, in most cases, to trace a descent from a Domesday tenant.
		The principal sources are Domesday Book itself and the associated documents, the pipe rolls, local surveys and the Cartae Baronum of 1166 (see feudal surveys), and nearly 60 collections of charters.

	Countdown from Domesday
		The Domesday Project was undertaken to celebrate the 900th anniversary in 1986 of the original Domesday Book, and was a genuinely visionary project of immense scale.
		The Domesday Project was chosen for various reasons; notably, its scale, complexity, interactivity and reliance on proprietary hardware make it very difficult to move to other systems, and its historical importance also brought a level of urgency to its preservation.
		Unfortunately it is unlikely that the Domesday data will again become accessible to the public, at least until there is a change in the law, because of copyright problems which are complicated in large part by the size of the project and the number of contributors.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Domesday Book
		As Professor Maitland has pointed out, a comparison of Domesday with our earliest charters shows not only that the Church held lands of considerable, sometimes of vast, extent, but that she had obtained these lands by free grant from kings or underkings during the Saxon period.
		This must be borne in mind when we see it stated, and so far correctly, on the authority of Domesday, that the possessions of the Church represented twenty-five per cent of the assessment of the country in 1066 and twenty-six and one-half per cent of its cultivated area in 1086.
		A facsimile of the whole record was brought out some years ago by photozincography, and at the end of the eighteenth century an edition was printed in type specially cast to represent the contractions of the original manuscript.

	Alecto Publications: Domesday Book
		So detailed was its coverage and so invasive was the process of the survey that the native English nicknamed it Domesday Book, after the Day of Judgement against which there could be no appeal.
		In 1984 the Public Record Office at Kew took the historic decision to unbind the original Domesday manuscripts and invited Alecto Historical Editions to undertake the publication of a facsimile.
		It is highly unlikely that Domesday will be reproduced again in the next few centuries, due to the near perfect facsimile copies achieved by Alecto.

		Domesday Book, which was ordered by William I in 1085 to assess the wealth of England for possible taxation purposes.
		In origin, Domesday is just a Middle English spelling of doomsday, a name which only came to be applied to the survey a century after its compilation, at first facetiously as being an unavoidable and final judgement (contemporaries called it “the description of England”;).
		A doom was originally a statute, decree or judgement (especially applied to the day of the Last Judgement in Christian theology, as in the crack of doom, and doomsday itself).
