What Is Fontes Anglo-Saxonici? What is Fontes Anglo-Saxonici? The Register aims to identify all written sources which were incorporated, quoted, translated or adapted anywhere in English or Latin texts which were written, or are likely to have been written, in Anglo-Saxon England, including those by foreign authors. It also identifies the written sources used by authors of texts written abroad if those authors are certainly or arguably Anglo-Saxons, and by foreigners who were drawing mainly on materials which they had obtained, or are likely to have obtained, in Anglo-Saxon England. Anglo-Saxon England is defined as England up to 1066, but a text is sourced whether it is extant in a pre-1066 copy or only in a later one. A text written after 1066 is included in the project only if it is of a type characteristic of England before 1066. An identifiable source is recorded whether or not it is extant. Oral sources and booklists are excluded. The project was begun in 1984 and was developed and managed by a group of scholars under the chairmanship of, successively, Peter Clemoes (Cambridge), Malcolm Godden (Oxford) and Joyce Hill (Leeds). Its officers were: Chairman: Professor Joyce Hill, University of Leeds Director for Old English: Professor Donald Scragg, University of Manchester Director for Anglo-Latin: Professor Rosalind Love, University of Cambridge Director of the Database: Professor Malcolm Godden, University of Oxford Database Editor and Research Associate: Dr Rohini Jayatilaka, University of Oxford Hon. Secretary: Mr Peter Jackson, Oxford Research Officer: Dr Christine Rauer, University of St Andrews Other members of the Committee were: Professor Janet Bately, King's College, London Professor Mary Clayton, University College, Dublin Professor Susan Irvine, University College, London Professor Clare Lees, King's College, London Professor Jane Roberts, King's College, London The Committee was helped by an international Advisory Board whose members were: Professor Fred Biggs, University of Connecticut Professor Helmut Gneuss, University of Munich Professor Tom Hall, University of Illinois at Chicago Professor Tom Hill, Cornell University Professor Michael Lapidge, University of Notre Dame, Indiana Professor Andy Orchard, University of Toronto Professor Paul Szarmach, Medieval Institute, University of Western Michigan, Kalamazoo Professor Charles D. Wright, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne History of the Project The initial impulse for a large-scale project to study and record the written sources of Anglo- Saxon authors came at a one-day conference on sources at the University of Leeds in March 1984, organized to publicize a proposal made at the Symposium on the Sources of Anglo- Saxon Culture held in conjunction with the 1983 International Congress on Medieval Studies at Western Michigan University to revise J. D. A. Ogilvy's Books known to the English, 597- 1066 (Cambridge, MA, 1967). At the Leeds Conference, J. E. Cross and Malcolm Godden gave papers on the sources of some of the Vercelli homilies and of Ælfric respectively, and in the discussion which followed, the desirability of establishing a rather different project, along the lines of Fontes Anglo-Saxonici, was agreed by all present. A small steering committee was set up, which met subsequently on a number of occasions at King's College, London, during the summer of 1984. At some of its meetings representatives of the informal group of American scholars concerned with the 'revised Ogilvy' project (subsequently named Sources of Anglo- Saxon Literary Culture) were also present, and the separate aims and objectives of the two schemes were clarified. The steering committee established an Executive Committee for Fontes with Peter Clemoes as Director, Joyce Hill as General Secretary, Michael Lapidge as Executive Secretary for Anglo-Latin, and Donald Scragg as Executive Secretary for Old English. Planning and setting up the project in every detail necessarily formed a lengthy initial stage, but since then a substantial body of material has been assembled. First of all, the Executive Committee, on the basis of work done by various subcommittees, approved guidelines for the submission of entries to a computer database, housed at the University of Manchester. Then followed the recruitment of a body of scholars worldwide. Next the database was created by Dr Marilyn Deegan, whose work during a one-year full-time appointment as a Research Assistant to the project was funded by the University of Manchester's Research Support Fund. Processing of the contributions received from scholars and their incorporation in the database were achieved to begin with by the half-time appointment for two years of Mrs (now Dr) Wendy Collier as a Research Assistant, funded by the University of Manchester Research Support Fund. Subsequently continuation of Dr Collier's work was supported by grants from the British Academy. From 1991 onwards advances on the Old English side of the project were greatly assisted by a succession of appointments of research associates funded by the British Academy and its Humanities Research Board, and subsequently by the Arts and Humanities Research Board. These research associates compiled material for a substantial range of material: 1992-3 Dr Joan Hart (now Joan Hart-Hasler): King Alfred's version of the Regula Pastoralis, the Old English Bede, Canons of Edgar, Apollonius of Tyre 1995-7 Dr Mark Atherton: anonymous homilies and saints' lives; Ælfric's De Temporibus Anni; as well as processing work from outside contributors 1995-2002 Dr Rohini Jayatilaka: Ælfric's Supplementary Homilies and Saints' Lives; Wærferth's translation of Gregory's Dialogues; Old English Orosius; Old English Benedictine Rule 1997-8 Dr Christine Rauer: Lives of St Machutus and Chad; the Old English Martyrology 1998-9 Prof Daniel Anlezark: Old English Daniel and Azarias; Old English Exodus 1999 Dr Brad Bedingfield: Ælfric's homilies Assmann 5 and 6; Ælfric's Interrogationes Sigewulfi in Genesin Work on the Anglo-Latin side was substantially advanced in 1996 by the appointment of Dr Rosalind Love as Humanities Research Board Institutional Fellow at Robinson College Cambridge, to work on the project; she covered the Latin charters, the Latin saints' lives and the works of Bede. Following Dr Love's appointment to a lectureship in the Department of Anglo-Saxon Norse and Celtic at Cambridge, Dr Katharine Scarfe-Beckett succeeded to the HRB Institutional Fellowship in 2000 and completed work on the sources for Bede's Historia Ecclesiastica. Other material has been contributed by members of the project, and by scholars elsewhere. In 1995 the database was moved from the mainframe computer at Manchester to a PC-base using the Paradox database system, and Dr Orchard became database manager. In 1998 the main database was relocated at Oxford, with Dr Jayatilaka as database editor and Professor Godden as database director, and work began on creating a web-mounted version, with the help of Paul Groves of the Humanities Computing Development Team at the Oxford University Computing Service. This was made available to the public for the first time on 1 August 1999. In 2002 the present CD-ROM version of the database was created with the help of David Miles of Oxford Database Design. For the most recent redesign of the Fontes Anglo-Saxonici database, please see the separate webpage ‘2020 Re-development of the Database’. Spin Offs In the course of its development the project has produced a series of research tools: M. Lapidge, Abbreviations for Sources and Specification of Standard Editions for Sources (Centre for Medieval and Early Renaissance Studies, SUNY, Binghamton, 1988) M. Lapidge and R. Love, A Handlist of Latin Texts written in Anglo-Saxon England J. Bately, Anonymous Old English Homilies: a Preliminary Bibliography of Source Studies (Centre for Medieval and Early Renaissance Studies, SUNY, Binghamton, 1993) J. Bately, J. Roberts et al., Archive of source-studies and source materials located in the Department of English, King's College London Acknowledgements The project gratefully acknowledges support from the following institutions: British Academy: grants for running costs and research assistance, 1986-96 Humanities Research Board: grants for research assistance and an Institutional Fellowship, 1996-9 Arts and Humanities Research Board: • grants for research assistance, 1997-1999 • major three-year grant for research assistance, database management, web and CD-ROM development, 1999-2002 University of Manchester: grants for research assistance, 1987-90, and institutional support University of Leeds: institutional support University of Cambridge: institutional support King's College London: grant for research assistance 1988-90, and institutional support University of Oxford: grant for hardware and web development 1997-9, and institutional support 1997-2002 About the Database The database covers about 1150 Anglo-Saxon texts, over 500 in Old English and over 600 in Latin. For the full list, set the search to ‘Text Type: Target’ and select ‘See all records’. Nearly a thousand source-texts have been cited, from Abbo to Wulfstan. Acknowledging the Database The records for each text were compiled by the individual contributors named in the database, who used either their own unpublished research or published work by themselves or others as noted in the bibliographical information provided with the records, or a combination of the two. Any user wishing to employ material drawn from the database in their own publications should acknowledge the Fontes database and, where appropriate, the individual contributor and the published work cited in the bibliographies. For further guidance, see the separate webpage ‘Citing the database’. What can I do with the database? • You can select an Anglo-Saxon text (whether Old English or Latin) and get a report of all the sources used for it, passage by passage, sometimes phrase by phrase, matched to a precise location in the source text. • You can get a summary account of all the different source authors used by a particular Anglo-Saxon author, or of all the sources used for a particular Anglo-Saxon text, and follow up those in which you are interested.

  • The Afterlives of Bede's Tribal Names in English Place-Names
    Chapter 6 The Afterlives of Bede’s Tribal Names in English Place-Names John Baker and Jayne Carroll Bede famously traced the origins of the Anglo-Saxons back to three of the strongest Germanic “tribes”: They came from three very powerful Germanic tribes [de tribus Germani- ae populis fortioribus], the Saxons [Saxonibus], Angles [Anglis], and Jutes [Iutis]. The people of Kent and the inhabitants of the Isle of Wight are of Jutish origin and also those opposite the Isle of Wight, that part of the kingdom of Wessex which is still today called the nation of the Jutes. From the Saxon country, that is, the district now known as Old Saxony, came the East Saxons, the South Saxons, and the West Saxons. Besides this, from the country of the Angles, that is the land between the king- doms of the Jutes and the Saxons, which is called Angulus, came the East Angles, the Middle Angles, the Mercians, and all the Northumbrian race (that is those people who dwell north of the river Humber) as well as the other Anglian tribes.1 Already in the time of Bede, it is clear that these three people-names could be used to denote both continental and insular peoples. Indeed, in Old English (OE) texts, Engle ‘Angle’ is used in several ways: (1) to refer to the inhabitants of Angeln;2 (2) to refer to one of the constituent bodies of the Germanic-speaking inhabitants who arrived in lowland Britain, and who settled, traditionally at least (as in Bede’s Historia), in midland and northern areas of what was to be- come England, and in contrast to Saxons and Jutes (and others);3 (3) the 1 Bede, HE i.15.

  • Bede – Part 1, Fascicles 1-4 Sources of Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture
    SOURCES OF ANGLO-SAXON LITERARY CULTURE Brown & Biggs Bede − Part 1, Fascicles 1-4 Fascicles 1, − Part Bede George Hardin Brown and Frederick M. Biggs Bede Part 1, Fascicles 1-4 Bede – Part 1, Fascicles 1-4 Sources of Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture Sources of Anglo-Saxon Literary Culture (SASLC) is a longstanding collaborative project by numerous scholars to map the sources that influenced the literary culture of Anglo-Saxon England. Taking inspiration from Ogilvy’s Books Known to the English, it aims at a comprehensive, descriptive list of all authors and works known in England between c. 500 and c. 1100 CE. While the focus is Anglo-Saxon England, evidence of knowledge of sources by Anglo-Saxons residing on the Continent is also taken into account. The sources themselves are largely Western European. Most entries concern classical, patristic, and medieval authors, works, or traditions. Series Editors Frederick M. Biggs, University of Connecticut, USA Charles D.

  • Reflections on Alfred, Asser and the Power of Memory in the West Saxon Landscape
    Chapter 15 Places I’ll Remember? Reflections on Alfred, Asser and the Power of Memory in the West Saxon Landscape Ryan Lavelle We are shaped by our memories and by others’ memories of us. That statement may be a truism, but there are few places better than a Festschrift where one can get away with starting a paper in such a manner. And it is a valuable truism. Those memories which shape us, as so many studies have shown, are shaped by place, and the places themselves are shaped by memory. This has been dem- onstrated in neuroscientific terms over the last four decades by the identifica- tion of the role of ‘place cells’ within the hippocampus of the brain linked to the subjective ‘sense of place’, in part linked to the creation of personal memo- ry, while the significance of Lieux de mémoire in French historiography pro- vides an endorsement of what many of us already feel.1 The development of the spatial turn has proved a particularly rich field in the study of Anglo-Saxon history and culture: Nicholas Howe showed the ways in which the experiences of place—those of the modern scholar and the medieval sense of place—can collide in a visit to a location, often in a way that forces us to consider how we approach the past.2 A range of work on Anglo-Saxon landscapes, addressing the context of place-names, settlement, and perception has proved particu- larly fruitful in the last decade or so.3 1 A seminal work in the field of neuroscience is John O’Keefe, “Place Units in the Hippocampus of the Freely Moving Rat,” Experimental Neurology 51 (1976), 78–109; a recent study is Sheri J.Y.

  • Michael Lapidge
    Michael Lapidge From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Michael Lapidge (born 8 February 1942[1]) is a scholar in the field of Medieval Latin literature, particularly that composed in Anglo-Saxon England during the period 600–1100 AD; he is an emeritus Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge and Fellow of the British Academy,[2] and winner of the 2009 Sir Israel Gollancz Prize.[3] Contents • 1 Early years • 2 Publications • 3 Awards • 4 Bibliography • 5 References Early years After completing his B.A. (U. of Calgary) and M.A. (U. of Alberta), and teaching for three years at the University of Calgary, he went to the University of Toronto in 1967 to begin work on a Ph.D. in the Centre for Medieval Studies. His doctoral dissertation, supervised by Brian Stock, studied the transmission of a nexus of cosmological metaphors, first articulated by Greek Stoic philosophers, to classical and late antique Latin poets, and ultimately to Medieval Latin philosophers and poets of the twelfth century. After completing course-work in Toronto, he went to Cambridge in 1969 to have better access to manuscript depositories while completing his dissertation. The Ph.D. was awarded in 1971. After a period as a Research Fellow in Cambridge supported by a Killam Senior Research Fellowship, he was appointed Lecturer in the Department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic, University of Cambridge in 1974, thereafter progressing to be Reader in Insular Latin Literature (1988) and then, in 1991, Elrington and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon, a chair which he held until 1998. During this time he was able, as Head of Department, to increase the size of the Department and to introduce a number of significant structural changes to its teaching programme.[4] He resigned the Professorship in 1999 in order to become Notre Dame Professor of English at the University of Notre Dame, a position he held until taking early retirement in 2004.
