The materials studied in this volume extend from small pieces of
evidence made to reveal Frankish influence on the beginnings of
Bath Abbey to a post-Conquest gradual recognized as unique
testimony to the pre-Conquest music of Christ Church, Canterbury.
An arcane style of Latin poetry much in vogue in tenth-century
England is given a full account; likewise an eleventh-century
Canterbury copy of a large anthology of Latin poetry for classroom
use is properly described. A discussion of the aesthetic principles
governing the use of colour in Anglo-Saxon manuscript illumination
raises artistic questions not usually considered separately. The
corpus of known Anglo-Saxon moneyers is further rectified; late
Anglo-Saxon metal-work is surveyed; two decades of post-Stenton
debate about the Viking settlements are reviewed; a system of
standardizing short titles for Old English texts is presented and
there is the usual bibliography of the previous year's corpus of
Anglo-Saxon studies.
