Etymology

From Old English landbōc < land + bōc.

Meanings

  1. (historical) A charter or deed by which land is granted.
    • It used to be thought that the witnesses really did this, but in the whole splendid series of original landbocs there is not one in which the crosses are even probably autograph, while in the vast majority they are demonstrably the work of the scribe. 1982, Vivian Hunter Galbraith, Kings and Chroniclers: Essays in English Medieval History, page 96:
