For the Extra Series of 1891, the first Text Part III of Gti^ of Warwicli, ed. Prof. Zupitza, is ready ; and the second, Dr. Schick's edition of Lydgate's Temple of Glass is nearly ready. The Original Series Texts for 1892 will probably be either Professor C. Horstmann's edition of ' Capgrave's Life of St. Katharine, or his first volume of the Minor Poems of the Vernon MS., of both of which the text is all printed, and Mr. Gollancz's re-edited Exeter Book—Anglo-Saxon Poems from the unique MS. in Exeter Cathedral—Part I, the Text, with a modern englishing, which has been long in type. Of the two concluding Parts VI and VII of the Cursor Mimdi, by Dr. Haenisch, Dr. Kaluza, and Dr. Hupe, the German workers' portion is all printed, and the Parts need only for issue short Forewords by the editor, Dr. Richard Morris. Perhaps the most important Text yet issued by the Society for early usages of words—Lanfranc's Science of Cirurgie, englisht about 1400 a.d., and edited by Dr. R. von Fleischhacker—is nearly all printed. It lifts up to its early date not only all the surgical and medical terms which we had before only from the Elizabethan writers, but such words as hoastingly, cellule, inanition, julep, &c., &c. The value of the book for Dictionary purposes cannot be too highly estimated. Some of the last-named Texts will form the issues for 1892 and 1893. Members are therefore askt to send Advance Subscriptions, in 1891 for 1892 and 1893, in order that the 1892-3 books may be issued to them as soon as the editions are finisht. The Society's experience has shown that Editors must be taken when they are in the humour for work. All real Students and furtherers of the Society's purpose will be ready to push-on the issue of Texts. Those Members who care only a guinea a year (or can afford only that sum) for the history of our language and our nation's thought, will not be hurt by those who care more, getting their books in advance; on the contrary, they will be benefited, as each successive year's work will then be ready for issue on New Year's Day.

THE SUTTON HOO SHIP-BURIAL Recenttheoriesand somecommentsongeneralinterpretation By R. L. S. BRUCE-MITFORD, SEC. S.A. INTRODUCTION The Sutton Hoo ship-burial was discovered more than ten years ago. During these years especially since the end of the war in Europe has made it possible to continue the treatment and study of the finds and proceed with comparative research, its deep significance for general and art history, Old English literature and European archmology has become more and more evident. Yet much uncertainty prevails on general issues. Many questions cannot receive their final answer until the remaining mounds of the grave-field have been excavated. Others can be answered, or at any rate clarified, now. The purpose of this article is to clarify the broad position of the burial in English history and archmology. For example, it has been said that ' practically the whole of the Sutton Hoo ship-treasure is an importation from the Uppland province of Sweden. The great bulk of the work was produced in Sweden itself.' 1 Another writer claims that the Sutton Hoo ship- burial is the grave of a Swedish chief or king.' Clearly we must establish whether it is part of English archxology, or of Swedish, before we can start to draw from it the implications that we are impatient to draw.

  • Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England a Revised
    BEDE'S ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY OF ENGLAND A REVISED TRANSLATION WITH INTRODUCTION, LIFE, AND NOTES BY A. M. SELLAR LATE VICE-PRINCIPAL OF LADY MARGARET HALL, OXFORD LONDON GEORGE BELL AND SONS 1907 EDITOR'S PREFACE The English version of the "Ecclesiastical History" in the following pages is a revision of the translation of Dr. Giles, which is itself a revision of the earlier rendering of Stevens. In the present edition very considerable alterations have been made, but the work of Dr. Giles remains the basis of the translation. The Latin text used throughout is Mr. Plummer's. Since the edition of Dr. Giles appeared in 1842, so much fresh work on the subject has been done, and recent research has brought so many new facts to light, that it has been found necessary to rewrite the notes almost entirely, and to add a new introduction. After the appearance of Mr. Plummer's edition of the Historical Works of Bede, it might seem superfluous, for the present at least, to write any notes at all on the "Ecclesiastical History." The present volume, however, is intended to fulfil a different and much humbler function. There has been no attempt at any original work, and no new theories are advanced. The object of the book is merely to present in a short and convenient form the substance of the views held by trustworthy authorities, and it is hoped that it may be found useful by those students who have either no time or no inclination to deal with more important works. Among the books of which most use has been made, are Mr.

  • Gendered Networks and Communicability in Medieval
    GENDERED NETWORKS AND COMMUNICABILITY IN MEDIEVAL HISTORICAL NARRATIVES APREPRINT S D Prado, S R Dahmen A L C Bazzan, Instituto de F´ısica Instituto de Informatica´ Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Porto Alegre, 91501-970, Brazil Porto Alegre, 91501-970, Brazil M MacCarron J Hillner Department of Digital Humanities Department of History University College Cork University of Sheffield Cork, T12 YN60, Ireland Sheffield, S3 7RA, UK February 5, 2020 ABSTRACT One of the defining representations of women from medieval times is in the role of peaceweaver, that is, a woman was expected to ’weave’ peace between warring men. The underlying assumption in scholarship on this topic is that female mediation lessens male violence. This stance can however be questioned since it may be the result of gender-based peace and diplomacy models that relegate women’s roles to that of conduits between men. By analysing the concept of communicability and relevance of certain nodes in complex networks we show how our sources afford women more complex and nuanced social roles. As a case study we consider a historical narrative, namely Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People, which is a history of Britain from the first to eighth centuries AD and was immensely popular all over Europe in the Middle Ages. Keywords Gendered Networks · Communicability · Node Relevance · Medieval History 1 Introduction In the last few years we have witnessed an explosion in the use of networks as a quantitative tool with which one may analyse and quantify interpersonal relationships in human societies [1, 2].

  • Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England
    Bede©s Ecclesiastical History of England Author(s): Bede, St. ("The Venerable," c. 673-735) (Translator) Publisher: Description: The Ecclesiastical History of England examines the religious and political history of the Anglo-Saxons from the fifth century to 731 AD. St. Bede©s historical survey opens with a broad outline of Roman Britain©s geography and history. St. Bede pays special attention to the disagreement between Roman and Celtic Christians, the dates and locations of significant events in the Christian calendar, and political upheaval during the 600©s. St. Bede collected information from a variety of monasteries, early Church and government writings, and the oral histories of Rome and Britain. This book is useful to people looking for a brief survey of religious and political fig- ures and events in Anglo-Saxon history. Readers should re- cognize that St. Bede©s religious and political biases are subtly reflected in his historiography, diminishing its objectiv- ity. Nonetheless, his Ecclesiastical History of England is one of the most important texts of the Anglo-Saxon history. The book©s historical import is evidenced by the fact that nearly 200 hand written copies were produced in the Middle Ages. St. Bede©s text has since been translated into several different languages.

Contact: [email protected] ABSTRACT The Translation of St Oswald’s Relics to New Minster, Gloucester: Royal and Imperial Resonances The relics of St Oswald were translated to New Minster, Gloucester, in the early tenth century, under the authority of Æthelflæd and Æthelred of Mercia, and Edward the Elder. This was ostensibly to empower the new burh, sited in the ruins of the former Roman town, with the potent relics of one of Anglo-Saxon Christianity’s cornerstones. This article argues that the relics of Oswald were not only brought to Gloucester to enhance its spiritual and ideological importance, but also to take advantage of the mythologies attached to this king, saint, and martyr, which were perpetuated by a contemporary translation of Bede’s Historia ecclesiastica. This work, which emphasizes Oswald’s role in the unification of Northumbria under Christianity, consciously models Oswald on his imperial predecessor Constantine. These and other valuable attendant mythologies may have been consciously appropriated by the Mercians and West Saxons in the early tenth century, thereby staking a claim to the imperial Christian heritage of Rome and Northumbria, and furthering the notion of an Angelcynn that had only recently been promoted by Alfred the Great.

This study is meant to illuminate the lives of the women in the Anglo-Norman chronicles at every stage of life. While many modern books have addressed medieval women, they have attempted to deal with women more generally, looking at many areas and societies over hundreds of years. Other modern historians have focused on a few select women using evidence from the same Anglo-Norman chronicles used in this study.
