The vitality of Anglo-Saxon studies is reflected in the continuing
acquisition of fresh knowledge and perspectives gained from the
combination of disparate but complementary skills and disciplines.
Evidence presented in this book reveals unsuspected aspects of the
influence of Aldhelm's Latin poetry in early medieval Spain. The
many non-runic inscriptions which have been discovered since 1980
are catalogued and analysed. Comprehensive analysis of a
little-understood Latin source of the Old English medical treatise
known as Bald's Leechbook throws light not only on the English text
but also, surprisingly, on the transmissional history of the Latin
source. The decoration of an important manuscript from the early
tenth century, the Tanner Bede, is set in the context of
tenth-century developments in manuscript illumination, and the
analysis of the Regularis concordia from an architectural point of
view permits fresh understanding of the layout of monastic churches
in the later Anglo-Saxon period. The usual comprehensive
bibliography of the previous year's publications in all branches of
Anglo-Saxon studies rounds off the book.
