This 1996 book provides a study and critical edition of the corpus
of hymns sung by monks and canons in their services in England
before the Norman Conquest. It assembles textual evidence, some of
it hitherto unpublished, based on all extant manuscripts. Of these,
an eleventh-century Latin manuscript known as the 'Durham Hymnal',
with its accompanying Old English interlinear gloss, provides the
core of the edition and its base manuscript. An introduction and
commentary include descriptions of the manuscripts concerned and
discussions of the sources, liturgical use, and music of the hymns,
as well as the phonology and vocabulary of the Old English gloss.
The text of the hymns is accompanied by a translation of the Latin
into modern English prose.
