In "Domesday : Book of Jugdement", Sally Harvey provides a thematic study of the extraordinary eleventh-century survey, Domesday Book. She depicts Domesday Book as the written evidence of a pontentially insecure conquest successfully transforming itself, by a combination of administrative insight and military might, into a permanent new establishment. William I launched the Domesday Inquiry to consolidate that establishment and contain its landholding revolution within a strict fiscal and tenurial framework. The volume newly argues that the Domesday survey also became an inquest into individual sheriffs and office-holders (thereby incidentally laying a foundation for reinterpreting the Domesday evidence on towns in England). In this way, the survey served as a modest conciliatory gesture between the conquerors and the conquered, as William I came to realize that, faced with the threat to his rule from the Danes, he needed the support of England's native populations. In this volume, Sally Harvey considers the Anglo-Saxon backgroung and the architects of the survey : the bishops, royal clerks, sheriffs, jurors, and landholders who determined Domesday's scope and supplied its contents. She examine the core information in the survey : coinage, revenues from landholding, fiscal concessions, and taxation, drawing the conclusion that, whilst consolidating William's position as king of the English, Domesday provided the foundation of the twelfth-century treasury and exchequer. Yet, whilst the subject-matter of Domesday Book is overwhelmingly practical and material, Harvey argues that the overlying theme, which gave it its english name, is Judgement : and that every class of society, save the servile, had reason to regard the survey's methodical and often pitiless proceedings as both a literal and a metaphorical day of account.

The Domesday Book contains a great many things, including the most comprehensive, varied, and monumental legal material to survive from England before the rise of the common law. This book argues that it can - and should - be read as a legal text. When the statistical information present in the great survey is stripped away, there is much material still left, almost all of which stems directly from inquest, testimony given by jurors impanelled in 1086, or from the sworn statements of lords and their men. This information, read in context, can provide a picture of what the law looked like, the ways in which it was changing, and the means whereby the inquest was a central event in the formation of English law. The volume provides translations (with Latin legal terminology included parenthetically) for all of Domesday Book's legal references, each numbered and organised by county, fee, and folio.
