Originally published in 1985, fourteen leading specialists in the
field of Anglo-Saxon studies contributed to this substantial
collection of essays in honour of Peter Clemoes, founder of
Anglo-Saxon England, who had recently retired as Elrington and
Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon in the University of Cambridge.
The book is divided into two complementary parts. The first looks
at the background to Anglo-Saxon learning, in particular at the
composition of monastic and private libraries and the nature of the
individual works available in them. The second examines the
contents and sources of individual texts and reviews the problems
of interpretation and transmission these pose for scholars. Many of
these essays deal with complex and difficult materials like
manuscripts and liturgical sources that are fundamental to the
interpretation of Old English literature and to Anglo-Saxon culture
in general.
