First edition of important but problematic Anglo-Saxon text, with
much to say about how later Anglo-Saxon writers used earlier
materials. This volume presents the first edited version of the
canon collection associated with two of the key literary figures of
the late Anglo-Saxon period: AElfric, abbot of Eynsham [d. after
1006], and Wulfstan, bishop ofWorcester and archbishop of York [d.
1023]. Although of considerable importance, its textual problems
(how many items comprise the collection? When, and by whom, was it
composed?) have made proper critical study difficult. This edition
aims to answer the need; the texts of the two recensions are edited
with full critical apparatus of the five known manuscripts, a
detailed study of sources, facing English translation, and an
introductory essay on the text and its background. Dr ANDREW HAMER
teaches at the University of Liverpool.
