Title: Charlemagne's survey of the Holy Land
First published: 2010
Description: Michael McCormick rehabilitates and reinterprets one of the most neglected and extraordinary sources from Charlemagne's revival of the Roman empire: the report of a fact-finding mission to the Christian church of the Holy Land. The roll of documents translated and edited in this volume preserves the most detailed statistical portrait before the Domesday Book of the finances, monuments (including exact dimensions), and female and male personnel of any major Christian church. --from publisher description.
