The Egbert Pontifical (Paris, BN lat. 10575) and the Sidney Sussex
Pontifical (Cambridge, Sidney Sussex College 100) cast light on the
English church in the 10th century. This book presents editions of
two of the best known Anglo-Saxon pontificals, the so-called
`Egbert Pontifical' (Paris, BN lat. 10575) and the `Sidney Sussex
Pontifical' (Cambridge, Sidney Sussex College 100). The pontifical
was abishop's book which contained the various ceremonies which ony
a bishop could perform: consecration of a church or cemetary,
consecration of all orders of clergy and of abbots and abbesses,
and the coronation of a king. The various pontifical services in
these two manuscripts, therefore, help to illustrate the nature of
these solemn ceremonies in Anglo-Saxon England, and are a valuable
index of the state of the English chuch in the 10th century.
