The printing of Domesday, in 'record type', was begun by government in 1773, and the book was published in two volumes in 1783; in 1811 a volume of indexes was added, and in 1816 a supplementary volume, separately indexed, containing (1) the 'Exon Domesday' (for the south-western counties), (2) the 'Inquisitio Eliensis', (3) the 'Liber Winton' (surveys of Winchester early in the 12th century), and (4) the 'Boldon Book' survey of the bishopric of Durham a century later than Domesday. Also in Soane's Library is a copy of Owen Manning's The history and antiquities of the county of Surrey, London, 1804--14 (q.v.), which includes one of the facsimile texts prepared in 1773: 'Sudrie Comitatus Descripto; E Libro Censuali Gulielini Conquestoris, Vulgo Vocato Domesday Book, Apographice Desumpta. ...
