Vol 3 of 3 volume set, provides translations of theGoldsmiths' Company Register of Deeds with full explicatoryannotation, and with a clear introduction to both the manuscriptand the legal texts contained in it. The WorshipfulCompany of Goldsmiths, commonly known as the Goldsmiths' Company,is one of the twelve Great Livery Companies of the City of London.This three-volume edition provides translations of the company'sRegister of Deeds with full explicatory annotation and with a clearintroduction to both the manuscript and the legal texts containedwithin. Additionally, the volumes contain detailed name and subjectindexes. The company's Register of Deeds has never been fullyutilised by historians, but it contains a record copy made from thefifteenth century onwards of the original deeds of the company'sacquisitions of property from the reign of King Richard I to theseventeenth century. These deeds reveal much about the preciselocation of properties and their inhabitants. Wills, oftenappearing in the Register, help to piece together a social historyof the time. Charitable purposes were often the reason for moniesor property bequeathed to the Goldsmiths, sometimes of aneducational nature, or of almsgiving to the poor, or for thetraining and support of young goldsmiths and silversmiths. Manydocuments also concern women, either acting solely in their ownname or jointly with a husband, sometimes also appearing asdaughters or sisters, providing evidence regarding their legalposition during the medieval and early modern period. The editingand translation of these documents (from Latin and French intomodern-day English) will be of great use to historians interestedin the buildings of medieval and Tudor London and their use aspersonal or business premises. But beyond these obvious confines,these so far hidden sources will help to rewrite a social, legal,and economic history of medieval and Tudor London.
