MS 173 Stanley: S Corpus Christi College Cambridge / PARKER-ON-THE-WEB M.R. James, Descriptive Catalogue of the Manuscripts in the Library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge 1912 MS 173 Stanley: S. 11 TJames: 269 The Parker Chronicle Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Anglo-Saxon Laws. Sedulius Codicology: Vellum, mm 290 x 210, Volume I: (11.3 x 8.3 in.), Volume II: (11.1 x 8.2 in.), ff. 56 + 27, two volumes: I, cent. ix-xi; II, cent. viii-ix. Collation: Volume I: 18 (wants 1) 210 (1 canc., 8 canc.: one added) | 310 (3 and 7 canc., 10* added) 48 (wants 8) | 510 (1 canc.) 6 [marked E]14 (3, 5, 9 canc.) 74 (4 somewhat cut). Volume II: A2 B10 C8 D8 (wants 8). New Pal Soc.: 18 (wants 1) 210 (one canc., 7 added) 38 (+1) 48 (wants 8). Provenance: Volume I: It was in the Library of Christ Church, Canterbury[], no. 311 in Prior Eastry[]'s Catalogue (Ancient Libraries, pp. xxvi, 509[James 1903]). The first leaf with press-mark etc. has disappeared since Parker's time<<The first remaining page is numbered 3 by Parker[].>>. It appears to have been written at Winchester[] down to the year 1001, and thereafter at Christ Church, Canterbury[]. Professor Earle[] suggested that it was transferred from Winchester to Canterbury when the monks at the latter place were endeavouring to repair the losses in their library caused by the fire of 1067 (Plummer, p. xxv note[Plummer 1892]). Another possibility ( New Pal. Soc. [NPS 1907]) is that Ælfheah, bishop of Winchester[], may have brought it with him when he became archbishop in 1006. At the Dissolution the volume came into the hands of Dr Nicholas Wotton the first Dean of Canterbury [], who gave it to Parker. See Introduction [Plummer 1892]. Additions: The contents of the first volume are briefly these: Chronicle, ff. 1r-32r. Latin Acts of Lanfranc[], f. 32r-32v. Laws, ff. 33r-52v. Lists of proper bishops etc. ff. 53r-55v (f. 56r, 56v blank.) Additions: A xiiith cent. scribble on the 2nd leaf of the Chronicle, another on f. 55v, and two others on ff. 26r, |82r| and 27v, |83v| of the Sedulius, seem to me to be all in one hand. If so, the two portions have long been bound together Foliation: ff. i-ii + 1-83 + iii-iv. Language: Old English and Latin. Contents: Volume I 1.1. 1r-32r The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, A-version, preceded by the West-Saxon Royal Genealogy The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle The most recent edition is that of the Rev. C. Plummer[], M.A., Corpus Christi College, Oxford (vol. I, 1892[Plummer 1892], II, 1899[Plummer 1899]). His symbol for this MS. is Ā. He describes it fully at p. xxiii sqq. of vol. II Facsimiles in Mon. Hist. Brit. pl. xxiii, xxiv[Petrie 1848] and New Pal. Soc. pls. 134-136[NPS 1907] On previous editions of the text see Plummer's Introduction[Plummer 1892] The Chronicle, mostly in single columns except f. 1v (part) to f. 4v sub fin. where it is in double columns: number of lines varying from 39 to 25 A complete survey of the hands in which this is written is given by Plummer, p. xxv, § 13[Plummer 1892] and in the New Pal. Soc. [NPS 1907] Plummer's list summarized is as follows: 1. To the end of f. 16r death of Suibhne[] in 891, and the year-number 892. 2. f. 16v including part of 894 (to Ac hi haefdon). 3. f. 17r-17v. 4. f. 18r to f. 21r sub fin.

Three lines on f. 23v (gefaran mehte ... abraecon), four lines on f. 24v (beginning of 922): apparently more, now erased and re-written on f. 23v. A poor scribe. 7. f. 25r-25v to end of 924, half of f. 25v left blank. 8. f. 26r to f. 27v, end of 955. 9. f. 28r and year-number 968 on f. 28v. 10. f. 28v to f. 30r sub fin., end of 1001, except the last ten words. So far the Winchester[] portion. 11. (Year-numbers on f. 30r?) f. 30v to f. 31v, end of 1066, except the last sentence about the comet and the fragmentary charter at 1031. 12. f. 31v last sentence of 1066 and first part of 1070 to gehersumnesse mid aðswerunge. 13. The charter at 1031 and the remainder of 1070. 14. The Latin Acts of Lanfranc[] and some of the lists of bishops etc. There are also numerous interpolations, most of them by the scribe 14 who is also according to Mr Plummer[Plummer 1892] the scribe of Domitian A. VIII (the Latin-Saxon Chronicle called F)[LBLCD8]. Others are: The annals 710 accidentally omitted, supplied by scribe 8. Additions at 923 and 941 by no. 11 (a Christchurch[] hand). Additions relating to Dunstan[] at 925 (first part), 943, 956, 959, 961, by no. 12. Early additions at (688), 728, 870, 890, 993, 1001. At 988 is a beautifully-written small Latin note on the death of Dunstan[]. The hands were dated as follows by Dr G. F. Warner (l. c. p. xxvii note) [NPS 1907]. Nos. 1-6 900- 930; no. 7 cir. 930; no. 8 cir. 960; no. 10 cir. 1000; no. 11 cir. 1075. For remarks on the character and affinities of the script, the description in New Pal. Soc. [NPS 1907] should be consulted Cameron B17.1[Cameron 1973], incorporating the Chronicle poems Cameron A10.1-4[Cameron 1973] 1.2. 32r-32v Acta Lanfranci The Latin Acts of Lanfranc[] are printed by Plummer, vol. I, App. B, pp. 287-292[Plummer 1892]. In the MS. this Parkerian note is prefixed to them in the margin 32r () hec habentur in libro S. Aug. cui titulus est Diversi tractatus monasterii S. Augustini The book here mentioned was formerly in Parker[]'s possession, but is marked in his Register as missing at the time when the collection was bequeathed to the College. It is now MS. 1213 in the Lambeth Library[LAM213] 2. 33r-52v Anglo-Saxon Laws of Alfred[] and Ine[] The next two quires containing the Laws are apparently all in one hand, with 25 lines to a page Liebermann, Gesetze p. xxiv[Liebermann 1903], calls this MS.

In it, I study the hagiographies written about the royal female saints of Ely by the Flemish monk Goscelin of Saint-Bertin in the late eleventh century as a form of postcolonial literature and memory creation. Goscelin was a renowned writer of Anglo-Saxon saints’ lives. Through his hagiographies he not only created images of England’s Christian past that emphasized its pious, sophisticated rulers and close ties to the papacy, he engaged in political commentary and criticism.

  • The Cult of St Æthelwold and Its Context, C. 984 - C
    The Cult of St Æthelwold and its Context, c. 984 - c. 1400 Rebecca Browett Institute of Historical Research School of Advanced Study, University of London A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Ph.D in History September 2016 1 Declaration This thesis is submitted to the University of London in support of my application for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. I, Rebecca Browett, hereby confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own, carried out during the course of my studies. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without the consent of the author. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis documents the cult of St Æthelwold, a tenth-century bishop of Winchester, from its inception (c. 984) until the late Middle Ages. During his life, Æthelwold was an authoritative figure who reformed monasteries in southern England. Those communities subsequently venerated him as a saint and this thesis examines his cult at those centres. In particular, it studies how his cult enabled monasteries to forge their identities and to protect their rights from avaricious bishops. It analyses the changing levels of veneration accorded to Æthelwold over a five hundred year period and compares this with other well-known saints’ cults. It uses diverse evidence from hagiographies, chronicles, chartularies, poems, church dedications, wall paintings, and architecture. Very few studies have attempted to chart the development of an early English saint's cult over such a long time period, and my multidisciplinary approach, using history, art, and literary studies, offers insight into the changing role of native saints in the English church and society over the course of the Middle Ages.

  • ABSTRACT Whitby, Wilfrid, and Church-State Antagonism in Early
    ABSTRACT Whitby, Wilfrid, and Church-State Antagonism in Early Medieval Britain Vance E. Woods, M.A. Mentor: Charles A. McDaniel, Ph.D. In 664, adherents of the Dionysian and Celtic-84 Easter tables gathered at the Northumbrian abbey of Whitby to debate the proper calculation of Easter. The decision to adopt the former, with its connections to the papacy, has led many to frame this encounter in terms of Roman religious imperialism and to posit a break between the ecclesiastical culture of Northumbria prior to the Synod of Whitby and afterward. This study will propose a different interpretation of the change that took place in the Northumbrian Church after 664. Rather than focusing solely on matters of religion, this project will seek also to demonstrate Whitby’s political implications. Instead of the end of alienation between the Celtic Church and the balance of Christendom, the Synod of Whitby will be identified, in the person of its main protagonist Wilfrid, as the beginning of alienation between the Northumbrian state and the hierarchy of the Church.

  • A History of St. Augustine's Monastery, Canterbury
    H Distort of St Huaustine's Monastery Canterbury. BY The Reverend R. J. E. BOGGIS, B.D. Sub- Warden of St. A ugustinfs College. Canterbury : CROSS & JACKMAN, 1901. PREFACE. Churchman or the Antiquarian cannot but feel THEa pang of regret as he turns over the pages of such a work as Dugdale's Monasticon, and notes the former glories of the Religious Houses of England before the hand of the spoliator, had consigned them to desecration and ruin. Some of these homes of religion and learning have entirely disappeared, while others are represented by fragments of buildings that are fast crumbling to decay; and among these latter possibly even among the former would have been counted St. Augustine's, had it not been for the pious and public-spirited action of Mr. A. J. Beresford Hope, who in 1844 purchased part of the site of the ancient Abbey, and gave it back to the Church of England with its buildings restored and adapted for the require- ments of a Missionary College. The outburst of en- thusiasm that accompanied this happy consummation of the efforts of the Reverend Edward Coleridge is still remembered not a few devout Church by people ; and there are very many besides, who rejoice in the fresh lease of life that has thus been granted to the PREFACE. old Foundation, and are interested in the service that is now being here rendered to the English Church of modern times. Such persons may like to have the opportunity of tracing the varied fortunes of the St. Augustine's of former ages, and I have therefore en- deavoured to set forth a sketch of its history during the 940 years of its existence as a Religious House, till the day when the Crown took possession of the Church's property, and "St.

    JOHN LELAND From a Rust former!) in tin- Hall of All Souls' College, Oxford. 43 LELAND IN HAMPSHIRE. IN OB ABOUT 1535—1543. BY THE REV. G. W. MINNS, LL.B:> F.S.A-.. John Leland has been called the father of English Topography; and his "Itinerary" is of great value and interest to the local antiquary. Portions relating to'.their several counties have been published by. various Archaeo- logical Societies1 and that bearing upon Hampshire is.here presented to our readers. The author was born in London about the beginning of the 16th century.
