释义 | Domesdayn. A Middle English spelling of doomsday n., day of judgement, now commonly used as a historical term. a. Domesday Book n. (colloquially Domesday) the name applied, from the 12th cent., to the record of the Great Inquisition or Survey of the lands of England, their extent, value, ownership, and liabilities, made by order of William the Conqueror in 1086. Extended to abstracts based upon that record, such as the Exon Domesday. [The name appears to have been derived directly < Domesday the Day of the Last Judgement, and Domesday Book the Book by which all men would be judged. It originated as a popular appellation (see Dial. de Scacc.), given to the Book as being a final and conclusive authority on all matters on which it had to be referred to.] ΘΚΠ society > communication > record > written record > register or record book > [noun] Domesday Book1178 registera1325 bookc1405 red book?1445 registery1483 register book1515 regesture1526 registrya1529 enroll1533 ledger1550 ledger-book1553 registry book1562 by-book1593 regest1670 registrary1696 hall-book1746 blotter1887 society > communication > record > written record > register or record book > [noun] > other types of registers Domesday Book1178 register1426 white bookc1432 town booka1547 christening book1558 muster1565 minute-book1566 Domes-booke1610 Newgate Calendar1686 time book1786 press book1808 provision book1840 visitors' book1846 guestbook1849 poison book1870 poison register1894 war diary1917 sign-in1966 society > law > legal right > right of possession or ownership > tenure of property > a legal holding > [noun] > land register > specific Domesday Book1178 Domes-booke1610 1178 Dial. de Scaccario i. xvi Hic liber ab indigenis Domesdei nuncupatur, id est, dies judicii per metaphoram: sicut enim districti et terribilis examinis illius novissimi sententia nulla tergiversationis arte valet eludi: sic..sententia ejus [libri] infatuari non potest vel impune declinari.
