ABSTRACT

Land Registers. Medieval land registers (Danish jordeb0ger), i.e., accounts of the incomes enjoyed by individuals or institutions from landed property, are found from Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, but not from Iceland or Finland. In some cases, the original documents survive to the present day, while other registers survive only in postmedieval transcripts. The existence of additional land registers can be deduced from references to them in medieval or later sources, but nothing is known about the contents of these lost records.
