From the Exchequer records come also the following:  (1) Testa de Neville sive Liber Feodorum temp.  Hen.  ZZZ. et Edw.  I. (Rec.  Corn., fol., 1807), a miscellaneous and ill-digested but valuable collection of thirteenth century inquisitions; (2) Nomina Villarum, g Ed. II., published in PALGRAVE’S Parl.  Writs, ii., iii., 301-416; (3) Kirkby’s Quest, a survey made by Bishop Kirkby, the treasurer, in 1284-85, of which the Yorkshire portion has been printed by the Surtees Soc., ea.  Skaife (1867), and other portions elsewhere; (4) Taxatio Ecclesiastica Angliae et Walliae, 1291 (Rec.  Corn., 1802), the taxation of benefices by Nicholas IV. by which assessments of papal and ecclesiastical taxes were long made.  A very useful compilation, recently undertaken under the direction of the deputy-keeper, is Inquisitions and Assessments relating to Feudal Aids, 1284-1431, of which three volumes, dealing in alphabetical order with the shires from Bedford to Norfolk, are published Cheshire and Durham are entirely omitted and Lancashire very scantily dealt with as exceptional jurisdictions.  The work is based upon the various lay records enumerated above and other analogous inquests.  Ancient compilations of miscellaneous documents by officials of the Exchequer are exemplified in Liber Niger Scaccarii (ed.  Hearne, 2 vols., 1774), and in the Red Book of the Exchequer (ed.  H. Hall, 3 vols., Rolls ser., 1896).
