| Abstract | The Pipe Roll Society, founded at the Public Record Office (now The National Archives) in 1883, is dedicated to publishing editions of the pipe rolls of the Exchequer and of other related medieval documents, from cartularies to household rolls, from the period c.1100 to 1350. This session considers the history of editing enterprises, new approaches to editing records, and using editions of medieval records in research and teaching. The first paper, from Daniel Power, explores the challenges of editing the acta of the aristocracy of the Anglo-Norman realm between the 11th and 13th centuries. The second, from Daniel Booker, examines the authenticity of King John's Irish Pipe Roll of 1212, which survives only as a 17th-century transcription. The third, from Lionel Dorthe, discusses the editing enterprises of the Swiss Law Sources Foundation, and the work of the Archives de l'Etat de Fribourg in preparing digital editions of juridical records. |
