Second of 6 volumes. The project to edit the Hyde Breviary was a
considerable one that was to occupy the HBS for a decade. Hyde
Abbey hadbeen founded alongside New Minster, Winchester un 965 by
St Ethelwold [c. 908-984], Bishop if Winchester, and a former Abbot
of Abingdon, with Abingdon Monks. In 1110 the community moved from
its cramped premises to Hyde Meadow, just outside the city walls.
The breviary MSS edited were most probably written during thre
abbacy of Symon de Kanings [1292-1304]. The Hyde Breviary is one of
a small number of surviving MS witneses to the form of the English
Benedictine breviary, supplemented by what Tolhurst thought was a
single surviving volume of a 1528 printed breviary or portiforium
of Abingdon. The Hyde relics were here cosen as the most typical
and informative. The Rawlinson and Gough MSS were written by
different scribes but on virtuallly indistinguishable vellum and
with illuminations from the same hand. Here they are collated with
survivg witnesses to the English Benedictine breviary of the
period. The sixth volume of the set is 'Introduction to the English
Monastic Breviaries', volume 80 in the series.
