The Canterbury Roll Project, Canterbury University, New Zealand
The Canterbury Roll is a 15th-century English genealogical text. It was created in the late 1420s/ early 1430s and subsequently modified on a number of occasions before final revisions were made to it, most probably during the reign of Richard III (1483–1485).
Digital Edition
The Digital Edition is the centrepiece of the Canterbury Roll Project website. In addition to a high resolution digital facsimile, new transcription, and new translation, users can access an academic introduction, critical apparatus, and a detailed user guide.
Five other components make up the project site:
The Canterbury Roll Project
Includes a “scrolling” overview of the manuscript and its content, an introduction to – and downloadable version of – an edition of the Roll published in 1919, and an exploration of the challenges and benefits of digitizing a manuscript roll.
