Editing Domesday Book (section)

===Binding===
The volumes have been rebound on several occasions. Little Domesday was rebound in 1320, its older oak boards being re-used. At a later date (probably in the [[Tudor period]]) both volumes were given new covers. They were rebound twice in the 19th century, in 1819 and 1869 – on the second occasion, by the binder [[Robert Riviere]] and his assistant, James Kew. In the 20th century, they were rebound in 1952, when their physical makeup was examined in greater detail; and yet again in 1986, for the survey's ninth centenary. On this last occasion Great Domesday was divided into two physical volumes, and Little Domesday into three volumes.<ref>Hallam 1986, pp. 29, 150–51, 157–61, 170–72.</ref><ref>{{cite book |first=Helen |last=Forde |title=Domesday Preserved |publisher=Public Record Office |place=London |year=1986 |isbn=0-11-440203-5 }}</ref>
