The Durham Household Book, also known as the Accounts of the Bursar of the Monastery of Durham, offers a detailed glimpse into the daily life and economic activities of a significant monastic institution during the early 16th century. Spanning from Pentecost 1530 to Pentecost 1534, this meticulously kept record provides invaluable insights into the management, expenditures, and resources of Durham Cathedral. Compiled under the auspices of the Surtees Society and edited by James Raine, this volume presents the original Latin text, making it an essential resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in medieval and early modern English history. The book illuminates the social, economic, and religious context of the period, offering a unique perspective on monastic life before the Dissolution.
