This paper proposes a methodology for a seigniorial approach to the production of management documents at Norwich cathedral priory between 1255 and 1348 – the subject of my PhD – paying special attention to the material aspect of the parchment rolls, following the French-speaking trend of scripturalité. It gives an overview of my first results regarding the functioning of the roll as a support for accounts, then goes into detailing different steps of accounting in a context of centralized writing before proposing, with the example Henry of Lakenham, a broader view of the link between the priory's administration and written production.
