释义

booklandn.

Brit. /ˈbʊklənd/, /ˈbʊkland/, U.S. /ˈbʊkˌlænd/
Forms: Old English–early Middle English boclond, Old English–early Middle English (1600s– historical) bocland, 1600s bockland, 1600s bokeland, 1600s bookland, 1800s bokland.
Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: book n., land n.1
Etymology: < book n. (compare book n. 1d) + land n.1 Compare book v. 1 and also folkland n. Compare Old Frisian bōklond land bequeathed (to the Church) and also post-classical Latin bochelanda (11th cent. in a British source; < Old English).Revived in historical use in the early 17th cent. The word is frequently attested as a place name (from at least the first half of the 9th cent.); compare e.g.:eOE Rec. of dispute between Bp. Wulfred & Coenwulf of Mercia (Sawyer 1436) in W. de G. Birch Cartularium Saxonicum (1885) I. 530 In tribus locis.., hoc est æt Boclonde, & æt Wemba lea, & æt Herefreðing londe.OE Manumission, Tavistock (Bodl. 579) in J. Earle Hand-bk. Land-charters (1888) 255 Þæt ys cynsie fram liwtune..& eadsige of cyricforda & ælfgyþ of boclande.a1170 ( Bounds (Sawyer 639) in M. Gelling Place-names Berks. (1976) III. 715 Ærest Sprindlesham hyrð to Bocland [a1225 Boclande], and eal Gamafeld to Boclande [a1225 Boclandes] gemære. Compare also Bocheland, Buckinghamshire (1086; now Buckland), Bochelant, Surrey (1086; now Buckland), etc. As a place name, perhaps indicating that the original estate was not only held by royal charter, but newly created by it, e.g. by detaching it from a larger estate (see further A. Rumble in Leeds Stud. Eng. 18 (1987) 219–29, and Vocab. Eng. Place-names at bōc-land).
historical in later use.
Land granted or held in hereditary possession by charter; (also more generally, in historical use) any land not forming part of the folkland or common land. Cf. book n. 1d, folkland n.Chiefly with reference to land tenure in Anglo-Saxon England. Tenure as bookland was apparently originally designed to be transferable to the Church (cf. quot. eOE2). Bookland was owned outright by an individual; within the limits stipulated in the charter by which it was conferred, it was freed from secular dues and could be freely bequeathed to others.
