Comprehensive, annotated list of over a thousand Anglo-Saxon
scribal hands, linking them to place and manuscript. This book
documents the entire corpus of scribal hands writing in the
vernacular from the eighth century to post-Conquest. More than a
thousand hands are listed, together with details of their work,
which ranges from a few words or sentences in marginalia to
multiple volumes; glosses and marginalia are included, together
with Latin charters containing some English. Overall, it offers a
comprehensive view of the scale of literacy in early medieval
England, locating the familiar material produced in Alfred's day in
a significantly wider context, and providing an invaluable starting
point for a variety of manuscript studies.
