Unknown Author

4.9/5 (16943 ratings)

Description:Records of the gift of land are the major sources for the history of early India and medieval Scotland. Unlike other countries, this type of record – in copper, parchment, or stone – is central to debates about emerging regional configurations, the growth of royal authority, the development of government and its relation to people on the land. Striking parallels of form exist between Sanskrit records from India and contemporaneous Latin charters from Europe. For Scotland between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries, charters are the largest category of historical source; Bengal’s medieval history relies very heavily on its copper ‘charters’ too. This book brings together specialists from the Universities of Calcutta and Glasgow, with fresh approaches to these comparable sources, setting out new perspectives on these records, the nature of land-holding, royal power, and the formation of kingdoms.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
