Originally published in 1897, this book offers a selection of
writings relating to St Augustine's journey to England, and was
created to mark the thirteenth centenary of the journey. The text
is divided into main two sections: the first section contains
documents from around the time of the journey, provided in both
English translation and the original Latin; the second section
contains four essays written specifically for the text, covering
diverse aspects of the journey and providing background information
on it. There are extensive notes throughout, together with maps and
a chronological table. This informative book will be of value to
anyone with an interest in Augustine, British history and the
development of Christianity.
First published in 1920, this volume was written by the theologian,
scholar, and canon of Canterbury Cathedral, Arthur James Mason. It
was intended to bring together the known documentary evidence
relating to the history of the relics of Thomas Becket. Divided
into four sections, the book presents the narrative accounts of the
death of Thomas Becket, the history of his tomb and the shrine
dedicated to him, and the subsequent destruction of the shrine
under the reign of Henry VIII. The last section, and the most
significant for this study, is devoted to the discovery in 1888 of
bones in the crypt of the cathedral thought to belong to Thomas
Becket. The book offers a thorough overview of the evidence and
circumstances of the discovery and encourages readers to draw their
own conclusions.
