This is a study of the books of Salisbury Cathedral, and their
scribes, in the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries. These
manuscripts form the largest collection to have survived from any
English centre in the period following the Norman Conquest, and
they bear witness to the energetic scribal and scholarly activities
of a community of intelligent and able men. Teresa Webber traces
the interests and activities of the canons of Salisbury Cathedral
from the evidence of their books. She reveals to us a lively
Anglo-Norman centre of scholarship and religious devotion. This is
a scholarly and original study, which combines detailed
palaeographic research with an intelligent understanding of
medieval cultural and intellectual life. It is a distinguished
contribution to medieval studies.
