`Dr Ransford provides 638 documents drawn from all the Waltham cartularies in a most successful attempt to get as complete as possible a picture of the history before 1230 of the abbey set up by Henry II in 1177 as part of his public regret for Becket's martyrdom...the critical apparatus is admirable and the indices in particular are very full indeed.'
