New evidence for the relationship between the manuscripts of the
Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Ranks among the best work on the vernacular
texts undertaken this century. In its clarity of thought and
expression it is a model to emulate. MEDIUM AEVUM G.P. Cubbin's
important introduction accompanying this editionargues for MS D
having been created in about 1060 by copying two other Chronicle
-manuscripts, thus reducing the number of versions of the Chronicle
to three, and simplifying issues of interrelationship. Strong
evidence is produced for the work being carriedout in or near
Worcester; and another new and unexpected finding is that D itself
became the source of other versions of the Chronicle for the
mid-eleventh century. Linguistic analysis considers unusual
features of the manuscript and supports the new history presented
here. Dr G.P. CUBBIN is Lecturer in German at the University of
Cambridge.
