Hemming's Cartulary
''Hemming's Cartulary'' is a manuscript cartulary, or collection of charters and other land records, collected by a monk named Hemming around the time of the Norman Conquest of England. The manuscript comprises two separate cartularies that were made at different times and later bound together; it is in the British Library as MS Cotton Tiberius A xiii. The first was composed at the end of the 10th or beginning of the 11th century. The second section was compiled by Hemming and was written around the end of the 11th or the beginning of the 12th century. The first section, traditionally titled the ''Liber Wigorniensis'', is a collection of Anglo-Saxon charters and other land records, most of which are organized geographically. The second section, ''Hemming's Cartulary'' proper, combines charters and other land records with a narrative of deprivation of property owned by the church of Worcester.
The two works are bound together in one surviving manuscript, the earliest surviving cartulary from medieval England. A major theme is the losses suffered by Worcester at the hands of royal officials and local landowners. Included amongst the despoilers are kings such as Cnut and William the Conqueror, and nobles such as Eadric Streona and Urse d'Abetot. Also included are accounts of lawsuits waged by the Worcester monks in an effort to regain their lost lands. The two sections of the cartulary were first printed in 1723. The original manuscript was slightly damaged by fire in 1733, and required rebinding. A new printed edition is in production as of 2010.
==Authorship and composition==
Although the monk Hemming has traditionally been credited with all the works in the manuscript, the cartulary contains two works that were collected together, only one of which is by Hemming. The two works were bound together to form the manuscript (abbreviated MS) Cotton Tiberius A xiii, now held in the Cotton Library, a collection in the British Library.〔 Together, the two works form the first surviving cartulary from medieval England.〔Clanchy ''From Memory to Written Record'' pp. 101–102〕 The first part is the so-called ''Liber Wigorniensis'', or ''Book of Worcester'', which takes up folios 1–118 of the manuscript.〔Brooks "Introduction" ''St Wulfstan and His World'' p. 11 footnote 38〕 The second is Hemming's work, and takes up folios 119–142, 144–152 and 154–200.〔Brooks "Introduction" ''St Wulfstan and His World'' pp. 11–13〕 MS Cotton Nero E i and British Library MS Add 46204 may also contain charters collected as part of Hemming's work, as they have been identified by some scholars as having been produced during Hemming's lifetime,〔 although others identify them as a copy of the ''Liber Wigorniensis''.〔Barrow "Forgery Production" ''St Wulfstan and His World'' pp. 106–107 and footnote 7〕
