Cartulary of Garendon Abbey in Leicestershire. Manuscript on vellum, circa 1450, 27 leaves, contemporary foliation 1-29, lacking folios 6 and 7, paginated 1-27 in modern red chalk, written in book-hand, the initial capitals left blank (for illumination) within a square box, the majority with a small lower-case guide letter at the centre, some marginal comments of circa 1540, somewhat soiled, damp-wrinkled and stained without loss of legibility, the final three folios damaged by damp without any significant loss of text, manuscript note to front flyleaf initialled by H.C.M. Phillipps, indicating that it was purchased at the Craven Orde sale in June 1829 by Evans of Pall Mall and acquired by him from them, burgundy morocco gilt bookplate of W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey to front pastedown, old book auction description (lot 78a) loosely inserted, 18th-century half calf over marbled boards with gilt-titled contrasting spine label, gilt floral motifs and manuscript shelf sticker ('555') to spine, heavily rubbed, 4to (335 x 260 mm)QTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: Purchased at the Craven Ord sale, 25 June 1829, Lot 555, by Evans of Pall Mall; acquired by H.C.M. Phillipps, Torquay; W.A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey (bookplate).The text begins with the foundation charter by Robert de Beaumont (1104-1168), second earl of Leicester, and the first 13 folios in the modern foliation are occupied by the full texts of 34 donations and royal and episcopal confirmations, including final concords levied in the honor courts of Sayer de Quincy (d1219), earl of Winchester, and his son Roger de Quincy in 1252-53. Folios 13-17 in the modern foliation contain summaries of 89 gifts, four of which are English translations from what must have been Latin originals. Many charters are accompanied by marginal comments of circa 1540.Elements of two further cartularies are at British Library, MS Lansdowne 415; most of that cartulary and an abstract of the present one are printed in John Nichols, The History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester 3 (2) (1804), pp. 805-30, 834-8. This volume is described in GRC Davis (ed., revised by Claire Breay, Julian Harrison and David M. Smith). Medieval cartularies of Great Britain and Ireland (London: British Library, 2010) Item 432.'Robert [Robert de Beaumont], second earl of Leicester (1104–1168), magnate and justiciar, was perhaps the most distinguished aristocrat of his day, educated to a high standard and a consummate politician and man of action. The curia regis seems to have been the place where he was happiest. He was a founder of two abbeys—Garendon (1133), a foundation which shows him to have been one of the earliest patrons of the Cistercian order in England, and Leicester (1138–9)—and of several hospitals and priories. His abbey foundations were, however, economical, employing the lands of other people, as at Garendon, or, in the case of Leicester, lands already given by his father to the church.' (ODNB)'Garendon Abbey, a Cistercian house, was founded in 1133 by Robert, Earl of Leicester. It was in all probability a daughter house of Waverley, the earliest Cistercian monastery to be established in England. The founder endowed the abbey with 5 carucates and 3 virgates of land at Garendon, a burgage tenement at Leicester, and other lands at Dishley, Shepshed, and Ringolthorp. During the 12th century various benefactors granted to the abbey lands at Eastwell, Ibstock, Welby, Burton on the Wolds, and Stanton under Bardon in Leicestershire, at Costock in Nottinghamshire and at Heathcote in Derbyshire. The wild country of Charnwood Forest, in which Garendon lay, gave the monks opportunities for agricultural development of the type accomplished by many other Cistercian houses. Before the end of the 12th century granges had been established in the vicinity of the abbey at Garendon itself, Stanton, Dishley, and Ibstock, and farther afield at Burton on the Wolds, Ringolthorp, Goadby, and Welby in eastern Leicestershire, the Peak and at Costock and Rempstone in Nottinghamshire. The abbey seems to have carried on sheep farming on a considerable scale; in 1225 the abbot obtained permission to export wool to Flanders or elsewhere, and there are references to sheep-folds at the granges. In 1341 the abbey was granted the royal chapel or hermitage of Cripplegate, at London, and in 1343 had licence to acquire four messuages in London. The advowson of Dishley was obtained in 1458, and the church was appropriated in the same year.Two daughter houses were founded from Garendon—Bordesley (1138) and Bittlesden (1147). There are indications, however, that in the late 12th century the Cistercians of Garendon failed to live up to the highest standards of their Order. One of the abbots, Geoffrey, seems to have been a married man, and one of the monks is said to have become a Jew. The resignation of Abbot William in 1195 was perhaps due to the displeasure of the general chapter of the Order at the Garendon lay brothers’ habit of drinking beer. A serious incident occurred in 1196, when the new abbot, Reynold, was attacked in the infirmary, and gravely wounded, by a lay brother. In consequence the general chapter of Citeaux ordered all the abbey's lay brothers to be dispersed. The command was not carried out at once, and in 1197 the abbots of two other Cistercian houses were instructed to proceed to Garendon and enforce the will of the general chapter. The abbey continued to contain lay brothers after this incident. In 1219 the conventual church was dedicated by the Bishop of St Asaph. At the end of the 13th century the finances of the house seem to have been in an unsound condition; in 1295 the king, at the request of the abbot and convent, appointed a special keeper to apply the revenues of the abbey to the relief of its debts, providing reasonable maintenance for the abbot and monks meanwhile, and two years later the abbot acknowledged that the house owed debts totalling £160. The depredations of a powerful neighbour, John Cornyn, Earl of Buchan, may have contributed to the abbey's difficulties at this period.'

An excellent A.L.S., T E Shaw, one page, folio, Karachi, India, 5th January 1927, to an unidentified correspondent (although evidently a writer whom Lawrence held in some esteem). Lawrence announces, 'I have sworn a great oath never to use or countenance the use of the name "Lawrence", as referring to me, again, in public or private', continuing 'So that would settle the question of my introducing your book, I'm afraid' and explaining 'Of course I write, or rather I try to write, occasionally: unsigned articles, or articles signed by virgin names. They are worth two guineas a thousand words, which I am told is a better rate than usual. They cost me more than that, in trouble, even at my R.A.F. rate of 3/6 a day! And no publisher would be moved to publish your work, because it had an unknown man's introduction before it.' Shaw, however, offers his advice and a further clarification of his decision to his correspondent, 'But why should you think an introduction necessary?......Probably the right man will take what you have written on its merits, and that should be much more gratifying than to be helped. I did twice, in the old days, help people by introducing their books: but one, Richard Garnett, was dead, and that pardoned the offence. The other, Doughty, was a special case: I had been trying to persuade all London to reprint him, and at last one beginning-publisher said "I will, if you'll preface it" :- and what could I do? Doughty was very nice about it: but it felt like scratching one's name on Westminster Abbey. Introductions to publishers I will (and do) willingly give. Several people with good stuff have been helped by me into print. It's a matter of knowing the proper tradesmen. Have you tried Cape? He is enterprising, and the best producer of commercial books in London (for format). If you will send me a sample of your stuff I'll see that it reaches his reader (Edward Garnett, a critic of genius) with my opinion. I have no doubt that it's the right stuff: and it should be exactly right for the particular public. If Cape says "NO", I'd suggest Faber and Gwyer for second string: but Cape an easy first. Secker is too difficult: and the big men too staid'. A rare letter of fine content in which Lawrence affirms his desire for anonymity and proves himself to be a good guide in the intricacies behind the scenes of publishing. Some very light creasing and a few minor tape stains to the lower central area of the letter, only very minimally affecting a few words of text and part of the signature, otherwise about VGFollowing his legendary exploits in Arabia, Lawrence had become a household name by the early 1920s and enlisted in the Royal Air Force in August 1922 as an aircraftman under the name John Hume Ross. However, less than a year later, his identity was exposed, and he was forced out of the RAF in February 1923. Changing his name once again, to T. E. Shaw, he repeatedly petitioned to re-join the RAF and was finally readmitted in August 1925. Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom was published in December 1926 and the renewed publicity it brought resulted in his assignment to bases as Karachi, from where the present letter was written, and Miramshah in British India, where he remained until the end of 1928. Herbert Jonathan Cape (1879-1960) British publisher who founded the London publishing house of Jonathan Cape in 1921, remaining at the head of the firm until 1960. Cape established a reputation for high quality design and production and published a range of English-language authors including Robert Frost, Ian Fleming, James Joyce and T. E. Lawrence.Edward Garnett (1868-1937) English writer, critic and literary editor who was instrumental in the publication of D. H. Lawrence's Sons and Lovers. Edward Garnett was the son of Richard Garnett (1895-1906) English scholar, librarian, biographer and poet, who is also referenced in the present letter.
