Working with Anglo-Saxon Manuscripts is a highly readable and
well-illustrated guide to manuscript study for students and
fledgling researchers in Anglo-Saxon history and
literature.Bringing together invaluable advice and information from
a group of eminent scholars, it aims to develop in the reader an
informed and realistic approach to the mechanisms for accessing and
handling manuscripts in what may be limited time. In addition to an
exploration of the various manuscript resources available in
libraries and their research potential, the book appraises recent
developments in electronic resources, making it a beneficial aid
for teachers as well as individual researchers working away from
the location of manuscripts.The book includes a clear and
comprehensive guide to palaeography and codicology. Chapters on Old
English prose, Old English poetry and Anglo-Latin texts introduce
readers to the whole range of written material extant in
Anglo-Saxon manuscripts. Manuscript art is uniquely presented in
the context of Anglo-Saxon manuscripts as a whole, moving beyond
traditional approaches, while the chapter 'Reading between (and
beyond) the lines' demonstrates some of the fascinating detail of
glosses and marginalia, and reveals how the life of the manuscript
continued beyond the writing of its main text.
