INDEX TO THE RSP................................................................145 APPENDIX C. GLOSSARY ..............................................................................155 v CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION The Rectitudines singularum personarum (RSP) is a document, probably composed in the early eleventh century, which describes the various classes of tenants and functionaries of an Anglo-Saxon estate, their obligations and their privileges. Sometime in the twelfth century, the RSP was translated into Latin and included in a collection of legal documents from Anglo-Saxon England called the Quadripartitus. The importance of this text for our understanding of Anglo-Saxon society is amply illustrated by the fact that the RSP has been discussed in every important scholarly book on Anglo- Saxon England.1 Utilizing the information gained from the archaeological advances of the past thirty years and integrating it with the documentary evidence we have, I will demonstrate that the RSP was written during a time in which Anglo-Saxon England was going through a major transition in rural settlement patterns and in manorial management structures. I will also propose that it is against this backdrop of change and social upheaval that the RSP must be understood, and that the purpose of its composition was not simply to provide a practical guide to managing an estate, but that it was also written 1One may point to only a few examples: Frederic Seebohm, The English Village Community (London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1883); Paul Vinogradoff, The Growth of the Manor (London: Swan Sonnenschein and Co., 1905); Frank M. Stenton, Anglo- Saxon England (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1943); and H. R. Lyon, Anglo-Saxon England and the Norman Conquest, 2d ed. (London and New York: Longman, 1991). vi to provide an example of what the author considered to be a socially just arrangement between tenants and lord on a manor. However, a reevaluation of the RSP’s function necessitates a new reading of the document itself with new interpretations and translations of certain portions of the text. It is, therefore one goal of this thesis to provide a new translation of this text with commentary based solely on the Anglo-Saxon version of the text. The need for a new edition of this text is suggested by the fact that it was not until the 1950s that a full English translation by David C. Douglas of the RSP became available in English Historical Documents.2 But this translation was included in an anthology of early English texts, and was intended merely to provide the reader with a broad exposure to its content, and to set it within the even broader context of other early English legal texts. For this reason, Douglas’s translation is not always consistent and on occasion fails to translate certain sections of the text. Being mindful of the difficulties involved in translating such a specialized text with a high volume of technical terminology, I hope that this translation will nevertheless provide an accurate rendering of the text’s meaning in light of contemporary research. The Anglo-Saxon and Latin Versions of the RSP 2David C. Douglas, ed., English Historical Documents, vol. 2, 1042-1189 (New York: Oxford University Press, 1953), 813-816. vii The Anglo-Saxon Version of the RSP is currently represented by only one manuscript, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge MS 383, a twelfth-century copy of the text. It was also during the early twelfth century that the RSP, along with many other Anglo-Saxon laws and legal texts, were translated into Latin and collected in a work called the Quadripartitus. This work is represented by 9 extant manuscripts, each of which contains a slightly different collection of Anglo-Saxon legal texts. Of these manuscripts the RSP is contained in four: M, R, T and Hk.3 While it is instructive to compare the Anglo-Saxon and the Latin versions of the RSP, it should be remembered that the Latin version was composed roughly a century after the Anglo-Saxon version. Significantly, the Latin translation also came after the Norman Conquest, and must be understood as part of an effort to redefine, or at least incorporate, pre-Conquest Anglo- Saxon law into the new legal context of post-Conquest England. Since the purpose of this study, however, is to understand the RSP purely within its Anglo-Saxon context, the discussion of this text will be based solely on the Anglo-Saxon version. Further, in order to avoid unintentionally integrating anachronistic social constructs into a pre-Conquest Anglo-Saxon context, I will avoid consulting the Latin for the translation and the analysis of the text. Outline of Presentation 3Patrick Wormald, “Quadripartitus,” in Law and Government in Medieval England and Normandy, ed. George Garnett and John Hudson (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1994), 122-123. viii The first chapter of the thesis will provide a new edition of the Anglo-Saxon version of the RSP (based on an examination of a photostatic copy of the manuscript) as well as a modern English translation. This is accompanied by a commentary on the various sections of the text citing previous translations and discussions. The third chapter will review the efforts of

  • Raising John's Body:13) Ęlfric's Homily for the Assumption of John the Apostle
    중세르네상스영문학 제18권 2호 (2010): 317-340 Raising John’s Body:13) Ælfric’s Homily for the Assumption of John the Apostle* Rebecca I. Starr (Won Kwang University) Introduction Ælfric, Abbot of Eynsham, was a Benedictine monk, educated at Winchester in Wessex, which was refounded by Bishop Æthelwold for the Benedictine Reform movement in 973. The Benedictines under Æthelwold had received unprecedented support, material and devotional, from King Edgar and Queen Ælfthryth in the mid to late tenth century (Yorke 65-68).1) In 987 when Cerne Abbas was founded, Ælfric was commissioned by Æthelmær, the son of the powerful alderman Æthelweard, to serve as mass-priest there. He was soon asked to translate Latin homilies into English, and the result was the Catholic * This research was supported by a 2009 Won Kwang University research grant. 1) See Godden’s “Money, Power and Morality.” 318 Rebecca I. Starr Homilies (ca. 992-995; CH hereafter). Manuscript evidence suggests these homilies were read to congregations throughout Anglo-Saxon England.2) Ælfric was later appointed to the abbacy at Eynsham, also in Wessex, and while he lived he was sought out by the best educated and most influential men in the country to explain doctrine and write subsequent texts and translations.3) Elaine Treharne shows that more than one hundred years after the Norman Conquest (1066), after the official language of the English courts had been French for many generations and parlance was changing from Old English into Middle English, Ælfric’s homilies were still read and distributed in English. Moreover, Aaron Kleist points out that in the sixteenth century, in the service of Henry VIII, Matthew Parker used CH as a “historical precedent” for an English church that differed from the Catholic Church (312).

It is located in the East Midlands Region, and includes seven District and Borough Council Administrative Authorities. The greater part of the county retains a strong rural character, and comprises agricultural land and isolated villages, hamlets, and country estates. The landscape bears the marks of changes which have taken place over many hundreds of years, with evidence of agricultural improvement, transport infrastructure, settlement, industry, mining and woodland management.

  • Historic Landscape Charaterisation
    Appendix 6 Analysis – Enclosure Regular Enclosures in Hoggeston parish, Vale of Aylesbury Buckinghamshire Historic Landscape Characterisation Appendix 6 Introduction Enclosed land comprises the most extensive HLC type representing over 72% of the land total. Its main use is for agriculture, a large proportion being for the pasturing of sheep and cattle. The type has a significant impact on aspects of the social and cultural life of the county, where both its form and maintenance are defining characteristics of the aesthetic appeal of the landscape, and is by turn a major influence upon matters such as tourism and planning. Pre 18th Century Enclosure accounts for 32.13% of enclosed land in Buckinghamshire, Parliamentary Enclosure for 28% and Modern Enclosure for 15%. Both the Pre 18th Century (Irregular Enclosure) and Post-Medieval Enclosure types have changed little in the last 150 years, especially when compared with the Modern Enclosure type. Most 20th Century Enclosure is an alteration of a previously enclosed landscape (greatly changed) with just 19% of hectares newly enclosed since the nineteenth century. The HLC mapping (see diagram below) suggests that most of the enclosed landscape has remained largely unchanged for at least 150 years, if not for considerably longer. However, the HLC process did not evaluate the continuing presence of smaller landscape features, such as barns and trees, or the composition of boundary type, boundary size, hedgerows and routeways. Nor did it assess the intrusive features of modern life, such as pylons, new roads, street lighting or other elements leading to the sub-urbanisation of the countryside. These may have a significant impact upon the appearance and condition of the landscape and all play an important part in shaping the landscape visible from the ground.

  • Textual Community and Linguistic Distance in Early England
    Textual Community and Linguistic Distance in Early England by Emily Elisabeth Butler A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Emily Elisabeth Butler 2010 Textual Community and Linguistic Distance in Early England Emily Elisabeth Butler Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Medieval Studies University of Toronto 2010 Abstract This dissertation examines the function of textual communities in England from the early Middle Ages until the early modern period, exploring the ways in which cultures and communities are formed through textual activities other than writing itself. I open by discussing the characteristics of a textual community in order to establish a new understanding of the term. I argue that a textual community is fundamentally based on activity carried out in books and that perceptions of linguistic distance stimulate this activity. Chapter 1 investigates Bede (c. 673–735) and his interest in multilingualism, coupled with his exploration of the boundaries between the written and spoken forms of English. Picking up on an element of Bede‘s work, I argue in Chapter 2 that Alfred (r. 871–899) and his grandson Æthelstan (r. 924/5–939) found new ways to make textuality the defining quality of the emerging West Saxon kingdom. In Chapter 3, I focus on the intralingual distance in the textual community surrounding the works of Ælfric (c. 950–1010) and Wulfstan (d. 1023). I also discuss the role of contemporary or near- contemporary manuscript use in forming a textual community at the intersection of ecclesiastical and political power.

  • Sheep and Enclosure in Sixteenth-Century Northamptonshire* by JOHN MARTIN
    Sheep and Enclosure in Sixteenth-Century Northamptonshire* By JOHN MARTIN Abstract It is commonly accepted that there was a slackening of the enclosure movement, if not outright reconversion to arable, in England in the latter half of the sixteenth century. This is usually ascribed to lower wool prices making shecp-grazing less attractive. There are difficulties with this pcrspective linking prices and enclosure activity directly. The example of Northampton- shire, a county in the forefront of enclosure, suggests that there was no trend away from sheep-farming. Two surveys of sheep numbers on enclosed pasture, conducted in 1547 and 1564, indicate that sheep-grazing spread throughout the county, and that grazing was concentrated on deserted village sites. Whilc there was some reduction in the size of large flocks, this was more than balanced by the proliferation of smaller flocks - overall sheep numbers increased in this pcriod. By the end of the century, sheep flocks were grazing on enclosed pasture in half of thc parishes in Northamptonshirc. INCE Bowden's detailed work on wool prices was its role in explaining the pattern prices for the period 149o-161o , it of the Tudor enclosure movement. He S has been argued that, after the mid- sought to draw a dividing line down the sixteenth century, lower wool prices rela- middle of the sixteenth century on this tive to those of wheat deflected graziers basis. from sheep-farming and halted the process Thc rcason why farmers were enclosing their land of enclosure, or even caused a considerable for pasture in thc first half of the sixteenth century reconversion of pasture to arable land.
