The collection was delivered to the Medieval Department of the museum, where it was housed until its transfer to The Cloisters Archives during the summer of 1993. Funding for the first year of a two-year processing project was provided through the generosity of Shelby White and Leon Levy. The first year of the project to process the Harry Bober Papers began in August of 1994 and ended in August of 1995, conducted by Associate Archivist Elaine M. Stomber. Tasks completed within the first year included: rehousing the collection within appropriate archival folders and boxing systems; transferring original folder titles to new folders; conservation repair work to the deteriorating card file system; creating a container list to Bober's original filing system; transferring published material from research files; and preparing a preliminary finding aid to the collection.

139 4 Assembling and reshaping Christianity in the Lives of St Cuthbert and Lindisfarne Gospels In the previous chapter on the Franks Casket, I started to think about the way in which a thing might act as an assembly, gather- ing diverse elements into a distinct whole, and argued that organic whalebone plays an ongoing role, across time, in this assemblage. This chapter begins by moving the focus from an animal body (the whale) to a human (saintly) body. While saints, in early medieval Christian thought, might be understood as special and powerful kinds of human being – closer to God and his angels in the heavenly hierarchy and capable of interceding between the divine kingdom and the fallen world of mankind – they were certainly not abstract otherworldly spirits. Saints were embodied beings, both in life and after death, when they remained physically present and accessible through their relics, whether a bone, a lock of hair, a fingernail, textiles, a preaching cross, a comb, a shoe. As such, their miracu- lous healing powers could be received by ordinary men, women and children by sight, sound, touch, even smell or taste. Given that they did not simply exist ‘up there’ in heaven but maintained an embodied presence on earth, early medieval saints came to be asso- ciated with very particular places, peoples and landscapes, with built and natural environments, with certain body parts, materi- als, artefacts, sometimes animals. Of the earliest English saints, St Cuthbert is probably one of, if not the, best known and even today remains inextricably linked to the north-east of the country, especially the Holy Island of Lindisfarne and its flora and fauna.

Beautiful photographic images and the comments of clerics and scholars tell the story through the lives of the leaders of their time. A Background to the Series Christianity came to England in the 2nd or 3rd centuries. A tale in the History of the Britons by Nennius tells of a British king, Lucius, who accepted baptism from missionaries sent by the pope in 167. Origen and Hippolytus, both writing in the 3rd century, mention Christians in Britain. The Acts of the Council (Synod) of Arles, held in 314, state that five persons from Britain attended including Eborius, bishop of York, and Restitutus, bishop of London. St. Athanasius (c. 296-373) lists the British among those who accepted the decrees of the Council of Nicaea in 325. Traces of what are believed to have been Christian churches built around 360 have been found in Silchester, England. Because England was a country of kingdoms, to convert a king meant to convert his people.

BISHOP /ETHELWOLD . His Career and Influence edited by BARBARA YORKE THE BOYDELL PRESS öq01422, Chapter S THE TEXT OF THE BENEDICTIONAL OF ST JETHELWOLD Andrew Prescott In Memory of Derek Howard Turner It has become increasingly apparent that one of the central aims of the ec- clesiastical reform in England during the tenth century was the improvement liturgy and embellishment of the of the English church. The achievements of the reformers in this field were numerous and wide-ranging. The latest hymnal, continental types of psalter and other liturgical books were intro- duced' and such imaginative innovations were made as the reenactment during day matins on Easter of the visitation to the sepulchre, ' which has been described as the `earliest recorded liturgical music-drania'. ' Concern for liturgy is the also evident in the artistic products of the reform. The musical innovations of the period were, of course, entirely directed towards the beautification enhancement and of church services' Dunstan and iEthelwold Work on this paper was begun by D. H. Turner, Deputy Keeper in the Department of Manu- British Library, scripts, who was one of the organisersof the exhibition `The Golden Age of Anglo-SaxonArt', held at the British Museum in 1984 to commemoratethe millenium of the death of St , Ethclwold. ,Mr Turner tragically died on SttEthelwold's day 1985.
