New edition with facing-page translation of a highly significant
and influential Old English text. The Old English Martyrology is
one of the longest and most important prose texts written in
Anglo-Saxon England; it also represents one of the most impressive
examples of encyclopaedic writing from the European Middle
Ages.Probably intended as a reference work, it was used and
transmitted for over 200 years, providing its readers with
information on native and foreign saints, time measurement, the
seasons of the year, biblical events, and cosmology. Its lively and
engaging vignettes illustrate the importance of miracle stories for
the early medieval cult of saints. This new edition presents a
revised text, with a facing-page, newly-prepared English
translation; they are accompanied by a commentary based on a fresh
comparison with some 250 Latin and Old English texts, the first
published glossary for this text, and extensive bibliographical
information and indices. Dr Christine Raueris a Senior Lecturer in
the School of English and the Institute of Mediaeval Studies at the
University of St Andrews, Scotland.
